    Remove outlet within a GFCI circuit

    Just make sure that the power is off and take the wires loose and just put wire nuts on it. Make sure that you identify the live wire which will be hooked up to the line side of the GFCI so if or when you reinstall it you will know how to wire it back up correctly.

    Powering an AC distribution center/panel from two sources

    Your best bet would be to purchase a manual transfer switch. The switch will have the spec sheet on how to wire it. You will probably need to go online or buy from the local electrical parts store.

    What do I do with this? (192? home)

    You can go to Lowes or Home Depot and purchase round old work ceiling boxes which is probably $ 5.00 or less. Cut the hole out to the size of the box and stick the wires through it and tighten the screws which has what I call ears on them which in turn tightens it to the Sheetrock or what ever...

    What is Maximum circuit amps?

    Not sure what your asking but it would require a 30 breaker

    Amps & generator load

    It will pull 21.4 amps which is an actual load and the breaker is sized based on the calculated load. Which is 30 amps

    Getting Older and Slower

    I’ll be 67 this year and I tell my customers that I don’t charge by the hour because they wouldn’t like my pace. I also work a maximum of 4 hours a day starting at 8:00 am and going home at 12:00 pm. It’s correct saying that in your mind you can still work like you was in your 30’s but your body...

    How long would this take you to do, on price?

    I’m in the US but that’s a lot of work for that amount of money. I think you should double that. Good luck

    120 Volt Light on 277 Volt Line

    My experience with commercial lighting is when the fixture is ordered or bought the specs should say 120/277. Then their wiring diagram should be labeled as how it’s connected.

    Any thoughts on 2-year-old GE dishwashing machine electrical issues?

    To start with a dishwasher is required to be on a GFCI receptacle and a dedicated circuit. With that being said I think it’s possible that your electrical outlet that it’s plugged in is the problem. My advice is to contact an electrician.

    Switchgear upgrade advice needed.

    what part of the US are you located. Maybe I could meet you and take a look at the switch gears and are they a City Electric Supply Company near you or CES. I have an account with them. I’m in NC

    Switchgear upgrade advice needed.

    Sorry for the late reply but I honestly think that you are doing a great job and with what you have listed I’m thinking that the boilers will not pull as much current as the HVAC units. Do they have any open breakers not being used? Looking forward to hearing from you. Good luck

    DIY outside motion sensor

    As long as the existing wiring is approved for outdoor use and everything is working as planned then there is no need to replace the wiring.

    Wire identification

    I would have to say green for the ground and for the 2 hots black,red. It shouldn’t have a white which indicates a neutral. On a 240 volt submersible pump a neutral is not needed.
  19. Megawatt

    Switch with terminals labeled 1-5. Where should the hot and neutral go?

    I highly suggest that you read the instructions on the switch. The only way you can tell is have a multi meter and find the contacts that open and close which would be the switch. Then the other 2 screws maybe 3-4 with 4 being the neutral since it’s a color is not gold.

    Switchgear upgrade advice needed.

    Your best bet is to get the total amperage of the main breaker that supplies all the power on the switch gear. You will need to document all the breakers in the gear on how much amperage each one is rated for. I have also experienced some of the breakers in the gear are actually not being used...
