I am using 3/4" EMT conduit stuck into 2x4s to support lumber stock (outdoors)and want to close the outboard end to keep insects out. I searched a little and found Arlington EMT75C a plastic end...

I have a Kenmore frig that is 13 yrs old model 363.9752711 and it has recently started leaving water puddles on the kitchen floor. There does not appear to be a drip pan beneath the unit, but the...

THANKS! To TK, KISS, Stan, and all. I found that Murray made a rocker-type device that shuts off one breaker when the other is turned on. Therefore, I used a weathertite sub-panel outside under my...

5550 is running with 8700 surge watts. The transfer switch will hook up to it through the 30A plug. Realizing the 1st response was correct in that one unplugged connection is dangerous, I'll settle...

I have a generator that is used for emergency power. I would like to know if it is reasonably safe to plug into the two 125V outlets, each rated at 20A and combine them into a 240V, 20A circuit to...

KISS and Stratmando,
Yes, the transfer panel has breakers tied mechanically where one must choose POCO or gen and both closed is not an option.

Interlock Kit K-8110 matches my panels breaker...

I have a 200A breaker box that used to be a Main and became a Sub panel when an oudoor box was installed ahead of it to "feed-thru" and provide an outside means of disconnect, at the insistence of...

Thanks for reading my post. These kits are a good idea and under strong consideration. I simply do not have the 3 spaces in my inside box to put the gen backfeed breaker it would require. Therefore,...

There's plans for an extension cord (10-3 w Gr stranded outdoor cord with L14-30A molded ends)from gen set to power inlet box mounted on house under carport. Power inlet box (male inlet L14-30) is...

I'll need to check and see by moving some of the spaghetti and looking for the bond. I only called it a grounding bar because all the bare wires were on it, as well. I do know it is multi-tiered and...

There will be some of both since I intend to use a cord from genset to power inlet box, then hard wire to xfer panel. I will carry EGC through both then into the Sub. OK?

Thanks again for the review. I am finding flaws and correcting them with your help. The shed project completed last week made that a safer job. Luckily, no incidents all these 28 yrs. Certainly do...

Thanks for reading this llloooooonnng post! Love to get the same answers more than once!
I want to install a transfer sub-panel for emerg. Back-up from a 5550 gen.

I am finding what I believe...

Very Clear, TK! Thanks for your help! The shed was rearranged to follow suggestions and is all on one 20A circuit and hopefully, much safer! I am gathering the pieces/parts for the gen power install...

I guess, then, the idea of "temporary" comes into play. If this is hard-wired to a power inlet box and fastened in place "temporary" could be a misnomer. On the other hand, if it is wiring energized...

Re: Shed I will not need to "jumper" anything since I am changing the 10-2 feed to a single 30A breaker at its source, the house main. The wire will carry 120V and be capable of 30A, hooked to a 30A...

It was a lengthy description but got an answer instead of questions for more info needed. Thanks, TK. -
RE: Shed: I did mention the shed had a sub-panel with two 20A 120V circuits; I did not...

I have read a good deal and appreciate the help. I still have a couple of things that need clarity.
Details: I have an outside breaker box just beside the meter pan with 200A mains for 120/240 VAC...
