    Running Cable to Garage

    That's excellent. Thanks Megawatt. So after the armor is stripped it's simply 3 conductors and a ground in PVC conduit. Thanks for sharing that info??

    Running Cable to Garage

    I looked into the Polaris connectors. Amazon has them for not that much more that split bolts sometimes sell for, I think. Polaris connectors are the way I will go in the future. 1570652061 It looks like Polaris connectors might use less box space than split bolts too. 1570652715 Would maybe...

    Has the 'Respected Member' tag had its day?

    I am a new member. This is a tough one. I previously joined a different forum that I shouldn't have because it is for 'professionals and contractors' only. I could be described as a non apprenticed electrician's helper. I was treated with disrespect by a lot of the members. That made me a...

    Running Cable to Garage

    LOL! I like that one, I'm going to use it. 10lbs into 5lb bag:) I was going to use a six inch box instead of an LB. I would be transitioning to 1 AWG in the box using 1/2 split bolts. I would rather use the 1AWG for sure but I'm going to do the arithmatic because the TECK fittings etc. are more...

    The connections require anti corrosion spray when using aluminum.:blush:

    Running Cable to Garage

    ACWU (not Ammalgamated Clothing Workers Union:) cable is for exposed and concealed wiring in dry or wet locations where exposed to the weather, and hazardous places. It has aluminum conductors, and a spiral flexible armor but no inner sheath around the conductor bundle. TECK cable is of...

    Running Cable to Garage

    I guess it's too late for me to edit my original post. It is not UK in nature, and was poorly written with incorrect terminology so I will revise it here: We are thinking of running ACWU 3/0 AWG from house to garage (because it is free material). The #3/0 AWG is too big to work with in the...

    Running Cable to Garage

    My original post is convoluted anyway. We are going to use ACWU #1AWG 3 Conductor.

    Hello EFs, from Alberta

    Yes, now I remember. I heard Ian and Sylvia first so it will always be that way for me. Ian lives in Southern Alberta, originally from Victoria! Neil has a heck of a voice but did alright with it. I like Gordon Lightfoot betterIn general but he is not getting any younger either.

    Hello EFs, from Alberta

    That is a line from Four Strong Winds by Ian Tyson. Alberta Bound is a Gordon Lightfoot classic. Neil Young might mention Alberta in passing, or when flying to the oil sands to bad mouth fossil fuels ??

    Running Cable to Garage

    My terminology gets lost any place I go but I was unaware this was a UK based forum! It's been a fun discussion but I need to zero in closer to home codes. So long from the land of the CEC.

    Hello EFs, from Alberta

    I agree. It's all too much to comprehend but it's nice to have a gal to share it with.

    Hello EFs, from Alberta

    My mistake! I forgot the wooden leg. I want to know HOW LONG it would take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle? No wonder it was so confusing.

    Hello EFs, from Alberta

    Maybe you can help me then. If a chicken lays 2 eggs a day, how many monkeys does it take to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle? ????

    Running Cable to Garage

    We are going to run Teck90 or ACWU cable underground from house to garage. There will be just a 60A breaker in the house and garage for now but want to lay a large enough cable to carry 100A in the future. We have approximately 60 ft of ACWU #3/0 aluminum to make the run. It is about 2" in...

    Hello EFs, from Alberta
