    How does the Receptacle , the wiring, CB and code Relate?

    Cord and plug is a disconnect. If I take a fused disconnect and want to install 20 amp fuses I must use a 30 amp disconnect as this is the smallest made. What I can’t do is install 35 am fuses in that 30 amp disconnect, I must go to a 60 amp disconnect for those 35 amp fuses. Most homes will...

    Need a solution for portable generator and panel.

    If the EGC (equipment grounding conductor) is in parallel with the neutral then the GFCI won’t hold. Neutral and EGC bonded to frame and again in the service equipment is paralleled. If the neutral is lifted from the frame of the generator then there is no fault clearing path for the GFCI device...

    Need a solution for portable generator and panel.

    UL will not list a generator that does not have the neutral bonded to the frame that has receptacles mounted to the frame. The NEC says that any portable generator that has the receptacles mounted to the frame is to be installed as a SDS meaning that the transfer has to switch the neutral...

    Need a solution for portable generator and panel.

    A 30 amp generator is not going to give very clean power so the meter is mostly a waste of time. If it is a new generator this setup will not work as the GFCI device on the generator will trip.

    Boat Dock Electrical Issue

    There is an old belief that current follows the path of least resistance and that current can leak to earth. Both of these are false. Think of a printed circuit board and the number of paths for current to flow in one. Current will flow in every one of those paths of the PC board and the amount...

    Water pipe grounding

    Electrical systems are connected to earth for four reasons as outlined in 250.4(A)(1) and life safety is not one of them. An earth connection in no way makes an electrical system safe and does nothing to clear a fault. Using Ohm’s Law we can figure just how much current would flow through earth...
