Never ends. Even after it's done it doesn't end :-)

Smoke detectors are being installed, for sure, but please explain why AFC is better for cords and lamps than ceiling fixtures, which is what I...

Good point. I am adding two stories = an execise room downstairs and office up. I am planning to indeed install an AFC but only on the circuit that contains lighting for the three closets that will...

Hello,

I'm roughing in an addition and adding lighting and receptables (on separate 15 amp circuts) in accordance with NEC. But I cannot find anything that tells me if I can run more than one...

Oops. I mean a 4 guage aluminum (about the size of my pinky), not 0 guage as I said above. Nontheless, I'm looking for ideas on how to connect this large wire into a standard 200 amp panel.

I've completed a beautifully (inspector approved) installation of a new 200 amp service panel to my home (upgraded from 100 amp). I have now strung a 0/0 underground aluminum cable in sched. 80...

I'm running a 2-2/4 aluminum cable for a 220v circuit from my barn from the panel in my house. Once entering the home (from the 36" deep in-conduit run from the barn), I have to string the cable...

Thanks. Seemed to me that the three strands were adequate, notwithstanding the ground rod. I promise to be careful and will be calling a qualified person to hook up the circuit.

Hello,
I've strung a 155 foot 2-2/4 underground aluminum cable in conduit 155 feet and 36 inches underground from my barn to the panel in my home which I plan to upgrade from 100 to 200 amps soon. ...
