    Load Balancing / Voltage stabilization

    I believe that if some how can go up on your wire size from the transformer to your place it would make a huge difference in your voltage readings. The lower the voltage the more current that your loads pull.

    Indoor outdoor wire for indoor to outdoor back indoor

    I guess my question is why are you feeding the stove from the garage. Please be more specific. The NEC states that if the wire is subject to physical damage then it is required to be in conduit. As stated above the wire needs to be approved for wet locations.

    As far as the USA is concerned if you have documentation of your masters then you would be more than welcome to start working.

    3 phase (220 volt) pizza oven to 1 phase (220)?

    Sorry for the late response but you would need an inverter which allows 3 phase equipment to run on single phase power.

    need advice: questioning new line for picture light, and if box is required

    I would not let them install the wiring on the edge of the 2x4’s like that. It is a recipe for disaster and yes it does require a junction box.

    What did I do wrong when installing this single pole smart switch?

    Sorry for the long delay but the biggest problem I see is the neutrals or white wires are hooked to the single pole switch. You sound only have 2 wires terminated to the switch and an equipment ground. I’m guessing that one of the white wires was being used for power to actually turn the light...

    Sub panel install on older Crouse Hinds Board

    Normally what I do is drill and tap my own holes. You can go to Lowes or Home Depot or your local hardware and purchase self tapping drill bits and you can get a set that has 6/32-8/32-10/32 drill bits. It doesn’t cost much and then you can purchase any ground bar and make it work. I hope this...

    GFCI, Narrow box, old home

    As far as the stabs in the back I wouldn’t recommend doing that because it will cause problems eventually. It’s easier to take out the old box and install the correct size box.

    Ceiling fan installation in newly built home

    The red wire is your switch leg. You can unhook the black which is a constant live wire so if you change the wiring to the red wire it will only work with the switch.

    Overhead triplex feeder termination question

    We are supposed to tell you the correct way of electrical and not cut corners. By doing this your way is against the NEC regulations. I cannot advise you any further.

    DIY USA old house 3 wire feed subpanel

    Always use 4 wires when adding a sub panel and isolate neutrals from the ground wires.

    Existing 14/2 Romex in 3 way switch light circuit

    Since it’s just controlling lights then yes it should be 14/3 if they are using 3 way switches on each end Not sure how it is wired but if it is working correctly the I would turn off the power and look and see if in fact it is 3 way switches.

    Replace 3 prong plug

    Sorry for the delay but if it doesn’t require a neutral then you are fine. If it has a neutral existing in your old plug then it needs an equipment ground installed with a 4 wire plug. You would have to replace the cord also.
