    Switchgear upgrade advice needed.

    Another poll! Average age of the person on this site.

    I’ll be 67 in December and I’m still working every day. I still have energy even though if had 2 heart bypass surgeries. Great topic, it would be interesting to see how many young bucks are getting the electrical industry.

    Pool pump advice

    It would be more helpful if you could tell us what the HP is on the motor since it will have to be considered a continuous duty motor since it will run more than 3 hours at any given time. The receptacle is fine for a # 12 wiring on a 20 amp breaker. Your breaker has to be GFCI protected and...

    Ceiling Fan Operation?

    If you have power going to just the light and not the fan then your remote is not going to work the fan with no actual power going to the fan.

    L21 - 20 & L21- 30

    I honestly think that a 30 amp and 20 amp configuration would be different. I’m not sure when I guess that you are referring to parts numbers as far as L-20 and L-39. I really hopes this helps.

    Is a 2 pole breaker the same as a breaker that has twin single poles?

    A 2 pole breaker will have a bar between the 2 breakers and the slim line breakers that you are referring to are just 2-15 or 20 amp single pole breakers. Home Depot or Lowes sells Eaton type BR breakers. Good luck and welcome to the forum

    Help with knowledge of grounding system.

    The power company only brings in 3 wires which is 2 live and 1 neutral wire. It’s our responsibility to add the ground rod to bond the neutral inside panel. You will then have a 4 wire service. I really don’t know how the electrical company who did the installation and the bonding done the...

    Help with knowledge of grounding system.

    To start with you already have a ground rod somewhere, probably next to the meter base. The first panel after the power company’s meter is required by the NEC to be bonded to the neutral bar and using # 6 bare wire to the ground rod, this can be accomplished in the meter base or the panel...

    Attractive Covering For Ceiling Box - USA

    They actually make covers for ceiling boxes but you will probably have to go to an electrical parts supplier. They might sell them at Lowes or Home Depot.

    replacing a dimmer light switch with a regular one

    Yes one wire nut will grab a wire but I will suggest an orange one because the wire is 14 gage wire for lighting.

    replacing a dimmer light switch with a regular one

    Honestly just install a wire nut on it and put it back in the box. It serves no other purpose.

    Grounding

    To start with the power companies don’t supply the equipment ground, that’s where the ground rods come into play. # 6 wire is required for the ground so it needs to attach to the neutral bar and also runs to the first ground rod and then to the second ground rod which have to be a minimum of 6...

    To be reactivated or not to be reactivated?

    If I were you I would call an electrician, your home has no equipment grounds and I would highly suggest that if you decide that you want to make a receptacle the it’s required to be GFCI and install a label on it stating that it has no equipment ground. My advice is to put the wires back in the...

    Liquidtight non-metallic flexible conduit.

    You need to drive 2 ground rods at least 6 feet apart and bond your panel. Good luck
