I'd say you have a bad connection, probably the neutral (white) wire. If it was a voltage
Problem, it would effect everything in the house. If it is just this light, then take it down
And see...

Wolfie250,
If these pole lights are at your home they are already 120v, you could check this by
Removing a lamp and looking at the info on it. Unless this is a 'custom' install you have
Two...

Sweetness,
It would appear to me that 1/2 your power is out. This should be looked at asap. It
Could be on the POCO side, but more likely is a connection before the meter, at the meter,

Anyone who 'shorts out' circuits has yet to attain professional status.

Leadisheavy, You could always screen the rocks out of the soil for the bottom 6 inches!
-
Matt,
There is no knob and tube wiring in any of the pictures. There is romex and AC cable (bx)
If in fact the bx does not go to a K&T connection it will need the proper connectors to keep

Tev,
Just so you know, 240.4(G) or table 240.4(G) allows us to use 430 Parts III-VII for
OP for specific conductor applications. On a single phase motor with an instantaneous trip
c.b. you...

Marty, Don't forget to buy a thermostat, DPST with an 'OFF' position.
-
Andrea, The smart thing to do is return the power strip and get a 15a power strip.
-
TS, I would use #6 thwn on a 2p 50a c.b.
-
I'm sure tkrussel has given the correct answer to your problem, something got out of
Place when the new circuit got teid into the panel.
Suggesting a new transformer is really a very funny...
-
Jane,
Is there any other breakers upstream of this panel ? Like out at the meter. Your situation
Is likely safe but it is in violation of the Electrical Code.
-
kgrimm,
The telco bond is normally a #6awg conductor, weather that is required in your case I don't know.
I suspect the equipment grounding conductor at the well pump head may not be properly...

You can use them on EXPOSED runs or on rewire where cable is concealed and FISHED.
334.40(B) 2005 NEC
You can also use them in moble homes and manafactured buildings. Woopie!
From what I...

The photo cell has 3 wires blk-constant hot, wht-neutral and what of bug zapper, red-to the

stanfortyman, Home after home after home in the USA are wired from the start with these
Issues, and it's done by 'real' electricians, this is a fact not just something I think.
It is also a fact,...

Paul,
Can you send us a picture of the other panel, so we can see how it is tied in ?
-
Wally,
EMF's can usually be eliminated, the problems that cause EMF's are downstream N/Grd
Connections and Neutral connections made from other than the source circuit. IMO, you
Would be...

Paul,
The gfci breaker needs the factory white wire connected to the neutral bus, the drawing
Does not show that connection.

barnonce,
1. 6/3 with ground copper UF type cable
2. UF can be direct buried
3. 18" for UF cable
4. yes

drmorgus,
There is no color code standard to these switches, best bet is to ring them out yourself.
-
bswbid,
Unless it is a local code, the disconnect must be readly accessible and within sight from its
Equipment. The NEC 2005 does not mention any distance ( such as 20 feet ) Article680.12

Above your name it says lighting expert, why don't you tell me what it is then ? :)

Sometimes if you pull the chain and let it snap back it will get stuck, you might try to
Stick something ( like a wooden toothpick , no metal ) in there, if you are lucky it might
Get unstuck...

psmith1111,
Another suggestion, run from any convienent 120vac power source to the new fan, then
Get an 'occupancy sensor' mount it in the ceiling, wire it back to the fan. The fan will come

-
flyfishmaster, get another reflector and put it right in front of the 'beam', then move it
Before you close the door.
-
webercons, You don't get to chose, you get what is needed for the equipment that you
Chose. Or is that what you are asking ? Either way, it's no cheaper to run equipment at
Different voltages,...
-
Chaslsey, Could you explaain to me what a "drum lightshade" is, I have not heard that
Term before.
-
Alan,
It could be that when you jiggle the switch you are really hitting the wirenut with the white
Wires, and that connection needs to be fixed. Just a guess.
-
I go grd, white, hot. Best practice is to have the power off!!
-
Sounds like you have it under control.
-
Tev,
A lot of people wrongfully believe the same thing. Electrons leaving a power supply are
Always trying to return to the same power supply, they are not trying to get into the earth.

kingsX,
In your OP 500w@120vac=4.16a
500w@12vdc=41.6a
so a 100 amp/hr. battery would last a little over two hours or 2.40 hours to be exact for a
constant 500w load.
-
Donf, Thought I would let you know, per 334.80 2005 NEC , types NM,NMC, and NMS shall
Use the 60deg. Column for ampacity.

Oh I don't know, maybe if it got shorted out somehow!

roorider,
NEC has no minimum height only a maximum of 6'7" to the top c.b. as far as the fire wall,
You are going to have to compromise it, you will need to fire caulk the penatration that's...

Rick,
You were not told the truth, or there is a misunderstanding, because it does not exist.

Have you done any work in the house lately ? Hang any pictures, nail any drywall,etc.
You see where I'm going with this.
Do like KISS said and remember that it could be in an outlet that is...

mainestu,
There is no number, only logic, if for example you were only going to have (1) 100w
Work lamp as the only electrical load, then you could put 30 recpts. Around the building
For your...

mrruss, You can't run se/ser cable underground by NEC. In the garage I would use 1 1/2"
EMT over to the 2" PVC and put a box there. You will need #3 copper wire xhwn would be
Recommended, 3...

If the gen has a two pole breaker protecting the 240vac outlet then it won't need any
More protection. You only need a 3 wire cord, the 4th terminal at the gen is for the
Neutral conductor, and the...

Go to your circuit breaker panel see if it is marked, should be a 2pole20a c.b. that will at
Least shut it off until it gets cold out!

adf,
At switch
Fan-yellow-connects to black going to ceiling box, at ceiling box it connects to the fan lead.

John, is this rated for 120vac ? If it is what are you connecting it to ? Would it be one of
Your smoke alarms ? That's a lot of assuming on my part.

In many areas it is against the health code to change your situation, if there is no window
In the bath room.

Yes, Each " double wire" needs to be split, one hot and one neutral to each,
