    Small indicator light inside junction box?

    This is a lightbulb that would tell you if something is on, (usually an outside light or boiler/heater power). The cover plate would have had an opaque, colored or clear plastic over that space. The space where the toggle or push button would go, a push-in piece would be there. So when it's lit...

    My home inspector has never seen this before

    I'm telling you, all states DO NOT require a license to work as an electrician. I worked in your state, as a matter of fact, without a NC license; Journeyman, Master or otherwise. Your card is not good in every state, either. You seem to not know this?

    My home inspector has never seen this before

    You are wrong, sir. (not sure what your coast of residency has to do with anything) Every state Is NOT a licensed state. NY, PA, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, TN, MS, KY, IN, IL, LA, MO, KS, AZ, NV, CA, DC, MD, VA, Some of those states may have a state Journeyman electrical licenses; but they're not...

    My home inspector has never seen this before

    I've seen similar. It has trough on the right side. On the left top half, there is windows for additional meter socket. Bottom left has the main electrical panels. You would ned to buy additional kits for the covers to accomodate the other meter socket, etc. These are out dated & maybe against...

    Why low voltage (40 Volts) at outlet

    Just putting a blank on it will suffice. Back in the day (10 years ago or so) the US electrical codebook (NEC) started requiring a neutral to be brought to switchboxes. Until then, we usually didn't.

    Why low voltage (40 Volts) at outlet

    Does the voltage change when you turn the switch on? It might be that it's using the neutral as a switch leg.

    Need help with rewiring

    To give an acurate answer, I can't take for granted the lines you drew are the actual path of the wires. Unless, of course, this IS how it's ran. But I don't want to assume this. Someone (a qualified electrician) would open the switch box & the outlet, to figure out where the wires are actually...

    Speed change

    I believe it may have more to do with current, than voltage. I'd have a testing done on at least that/those circuit(s).

    Wiring

    If you want outlets & such in your shed, you may as well run wiring for a 100A panel. If you decide to just run the wire for the compressor, make sure you have disconnecting means in the shed. A plug on the compressor will suffice; no direct wire. Be sure that if you run it in pipe to derate if...

    In your country, do you use pipe to run wire through very much?

    It WAS questioned, the whole deal, before I got there. (Thought I made it clear) I was told, "this is what we want." My boss did say it should be on top of a "pad", the engineer disagreed, till the day before our first pour. He said it should be raised up off the dirt. You almost HEAR our eyes...

    Possibly stupid questions

    First off, NEMA 14-50P is 50A. So your talking quite a difference in wire size. It's more like a range or dryer plug. Second, I've never heard of a sprinkler needing power at the sprayer outlets. They maybe connected to a time clock at the connection on the other end. However, If there is an...

    In your country, do you use pipe to run wire through very much?

    As I said before, this was how it was engineered. There was a detail in the prints that laid it out as such. So apparently, I'm not the only one going against your 'percieved wisdom'. The ONLY difference was the engineer wanted it raised a bit more, so I had my crew put patio block under the...

    In your country, do you use pipe to run wire through very much?

    I don't see how rock or earth will get in the concrete as it's poured. It gets pushed out by concrete, not mixed in. In fact some concrete have aggregate added for strength, which is essentially rocks. As I explained previously, we were required to put 1.5" thick block under the interlocking...

    What do I need

    I agree to an extent, but it is what most of US house feeders are made of. ...even my own.

    Second National Lockdown...

    From what I've been told from doctors, it may have more to do with amount of viral load you get that determines how sick a person gets. ie: The more exposure; the sicker or worse symptoms will be. Granted, health & age plays a bit of a part in too, to be sure. But masks in public & social...

    In your country, do you use pipe to run wire through very much?

    I think the duct bank will be good for 100 years or better. But your welcome to take that up with an architect. Normally I see a footer or concrete wall for a building; whether pre cast or otherwise, it's filled back in with dirt around it.

    My bad, sorry. #3 copper & aluminum... :rolleyes:

    In your country, do you use pipe to run wire through very much?

    You can't see it, but the lesser turn was due to old concrete piers unearthed (& quickly covered back). Apparently train tracks ended there & fell out of use in the 1930's. Train cars were stored here for much of the late 1800's, early 1900's. The architect was leery of uncovering too much. Not...

    In your country, do you use pipe to run wire through very much?

    Yes, 6 - 3" conduit were for the 800A, 3ph, 480 volt service, 4 - 500 MCM (almost 1,000 mils dia) plus 4/0 (21mm) ground (earth) in each. Other conduits went elsewhere. It ran under a walkway & a driveway, which were used by garbage trucks & busses. Tried to talk them into only using the rebar...
