Guessing from what little information I have, the line power circuit breaker is a lower amperage than the one on the generator. The fact that the motor runs on the line power for a few minutes...

You have conflicting information. Main breaker rating 225 amps. Feeder rating 150 amps. If the main breaker is rated 225 amps it should be supplied by wires rated for at least 225 amps. If you...

First of all make sure your meter isn't the problem. If you aren't reading RMS voltage, it will be different. You should be, but until you clear that up it is hard to tell. A Federal Pacific Panel...

I don't know of any adaptors that will do what you are looking for, so an adaptor is probably out of the question.

F.W.I.W.
The 6-50P plug sounds like the typical 50 amp welder plug supplied with...

Any debris covering the cooling fins will decrease the effectiveness of the air conditioner. It may not be your issue, but it is a place most techs would certainly check. Sometimes it isn't enough...

Hey, Thanks guys. I don't run my computer under administrator and I do have a user that I log on with that has admin. privileges. I am not into a lot of non tech sites, so I try to limit my...

Did it always do this, or has this just started happening? If you made wiring changes and it started happening, then I would suspect it is miss-wired. If it just started happening it could be the...

Raising your thermostat should help with the energy consumption, but if the air conditioner is cycling and it hasn't reached the temperature set point, you could have issues. Do you notice any white...

If you took your reading to ground then you wouldn't have a connection to ground until you made it. Read between the black wires and the white wires should = 120 VAC or close to that number. If you...

I am bored again tonight, LaBron James is going back to Cleveland and restricted free agency ends tonight sometime I think. The US is out of the world soccer championship and TV is mostly reruns. So...

Access might be your biggest issue, so let's look at what you have and try to go from there. You are asking us to read your mind a little so a few details would help. Below are a few questions I...

I hope I have done this right. I have attached a wiring schematic for your dryer. There is a note on the PDF to click on. Basically if you open your dryer door, the light should come on if there is...

It's stormy outside tonight and TV is boring so let's try a few things.

If it is an electronic timer- digital and not a mechanical timer, then it probably is faulty, but sometimes the electronics...

For what it is worth dept.(I am a little bored tonight)

Do you want the boiler heat to go to the return line or to the heaters(radiators)? You kind of are in a situation where if you exchanged...

I haven't personally tried to buy the new R410A refrigerant, but some of my buddies in the business talk like it isn't restricted like the R22 Freon was. None the less, you probably have a leak in...

Are your referring to the box that is below the fan where you removed the light and not the ceiling box?

Thanks Scott! I am 50 miles from nearest Staples or support. The problems I have with imaging is that I could image the problem or the beginning of the problem onto the image and overwrite the...

I have CC cleaner and I do use it. There were a number of services that were stopped, some of which I didn't think were that important, but I hadn't stopped them either. I know they can crash on...

I found on Microsoft's website somewhere the cost was $390 and $780 after hours.
That $ amount isn't really the issue as much as problem resolution and prevention.

Question I have is...

Besides Microsoft, who charges $390 a pop for tech support are there any reliable, honest, computer online tech groups that are good and somewhat reasonable?

Total resistance is always less than the smallest resistance, so the current in the meter will show more current. Who the heck is in school at this time of the year?

Is the breaker a standard 15 amp or is it a GFCI or AFCI breaker? I would suggest unplugging everything on that circuit and turning the light and fan off, and then trying the breaker. Have you...

joy2theworld,

I wish there was someway that I could open your heart and mind and give you a glimpse of what your parents are trying to do. I know in your teenage "right now" state of mind this is...

Switching 5 & 8 seems to be the norm.

I will try to do some research and find an exact match. Some motors the "P" leads are klixon leads or motor overtemp leads. In this case it might be they are the source power leads which would be...

I am new to this posting thing, but here is an example of a 120 volt motor with drum switch arrangement. Check wiring against yours!...

Is the motor single phase or 3 phase? If you are trying to do it with pulleys, divide the motor rpm by the desired rpm and that will give you a ratio of about 17.25 to 1(using 100 as desired speed) ...

I am glad you found the problem. Thanks for letting us know! Our only pay is when someone responds with a positive result.

My first hunch is that the fan motor has starting issues.

This can be the result of several issues, most common being a failed start capacitor on the motor, but there are other things too. Is it...

Did you just start using your dehumidifier? Gas smell as in sewer gas, route egg smell, gasoline solvent smell, dead mouse smell, moldy smell?

This is a bit of a long shot, but was there a check valve in the line when you took things apart and reassembled them. Could be if that is the case, you installed the check valve backwards. I...

Sometimes those contacts on the pressure switch get kind of welded together. Which kind of sounds like what may have happened, sense no known changes in the settings on the switch. I would try...

One thing I did forget, if the electrician can't install breaker(s) in existing service panel, the cost will be more because of the needed upgrade and that depends on a more complicated evaluation of...

The cost of 240 volt versus 120 volt is only in the initial cost. A 2 pole breaker for 240 volts will cost about twice the cost of single pole breaker for 120 volts. (maybe $4- $10 more). Depending...

Motor rpm in an induction motor is in direct relationship to the poles and the frequency of the power source (50 or 60 cycle)of the motor, not the voltage. Low voltage etc, will cause the motor to...

Where are you from? What is the correct operating voltage for your motor. Is the motor single phase or 3 phase. What is the rpm rating on the nameplate of the motor?

The meter reading depends on where you place the leads. With the power off, you can place one meter lead on the element and the other on the tank ground. In this case you should read infinite ohms....

I have a few questions. First you shouldn't be having issues with breakers and feeder wires, at least in the frequency you are mentioning if they are properly sized and installed. What size of wire...

I haven't looked it up in the 2014 code, but it used to be you could splice in an LB ( condulet) on strict guidelines. The first thing is the LB has to have a cubic inch value stamped on it...

FYI
Mobile homes have a little different regulations on them. They are approved as built per pre approved plans kind of like a UL listing is but different. Once made the mobile home is technically...

And the problem was " too embarrassing to mention" Haven't we all done that before?

Starting current probably exceeds breaker limit and the addition of the computer hardware just adds to the problem. Can you run the air conditioner by itself? As the previous post said, arc fault...

Does your light switch have any kind of internal(night light) light that goes on when the switch is off? If so it can create an issue similar to yours. If such is the case, the voltage would go...

If you run your propane tank too low, you can get an odor. I had it happen once years ago. The propane people came and checked it out and said it was common and weren't too concerned about the odor...

Brundyln
Glad to try to help. Sorry. Sometimes the $!@#/& dragon wins.

Two scenarios. First of all a 50 amp breaker is designed to run a continuous load at 80% or its trip rating. 80% of 50 is 40 amps. If you are drawing 42 amps for long periods I could see it...

This will give you an idea for 1/0 Aluminum. This calculation is based in part on the amperage actually used. You should provide service for 50 amps regardless of current draw, but the actual...

Water with chlorine in it does nasty things to metal. I would suggest talking to someone who supports spa's, hot tubs, and pools etc. If I were doing it on the cheap I would find a paint or coating...
