Bought a range from Home Depot. They supplied a 40 amp cord. Electrician was going to use a 50 amp outlet.
Here is the oven and cord.

I'm a DIY'er helping a friend connect a 220v dryer to a 50 amp RV outlet.
The dryer has a Nema 10-30R plug and is in a shed about 4 feet from the 50 amp outlet.
I'm thinking about getting this cord to plug into the 50 amp outlet:

And connect that to...
I don't have much room around my current 200 amp panel and want to upgrade to 400 amp. I'd have an electrician do the work but I am just trying to educate myself a bit before talking to one.
There is not much room around the current panel/service entrance to put another panel. I have a 100 amp...
Is there an obvious reason why I can't just fit a plug onto my LED soffit downlights, fitted with a 5amp fuse and plug it into a socket rather than install a 5amp fsu? I'm fine with the plug being permanently plugged in as the socket gets no use anyhow. TIA
Good evening everybody. I have a cooker feed from the CU that is then split under the floor above the kitchen to separate outlets for the hob & Oven. The problem is a standard 30A JB does not have big enough terminals to accommodate the wires. The person who installed this has cut some of the...
Hello All, Just looking for a bit of advice on the diagram I have laid out for adding a 100 amp subpanel coming from my 200 amp main. This will be going to an attached garage that requires about 45 feet of wire. The garage is drywalled, so I will be using conduit over the existing drywall, as I...
Hi, new member here with a question. I am adding a 100 amp subpanel to my 200 amp main panel. They are next to each other and recessed in wall. I have been getting different answers to my question "What size wire to I need to feed my 100 Amp Subpanel?". I would be using copper wire. Can...
Question, How much should someone be paying just for an AMP ATR-150SL LV Transformer with the dusk/dawn timer module? How much would/should labor add to that? Landscape contractor wants to replace FILs LV transformer with one as a replacement for his dead unit. Not familiar with the brand...
Can I please check my understanding on the following.
My ring is wired in 2.5mm T&E. It is on a 32 amp MCB and protected by an RCD.
I am now contemplating a spur from one of the ring circuits to provide power to an electric hob. The Hob is 2.5KW which I believe, equates to 11 amps. If this is...
Got some amateurish questions. Please excuse me but want to set this straight in my head.
Do amp ratings only matter when current is being drawn i.e. an appliance plugged in, light fitting, etc.
To expand, if I have a 50amp MCB with a 1mm T&E cable going into a 5amp junction box, would that...
I currently have a 100 amp service that feeds a 100 amp main panel. That then feeds a 75 amp sub panel in the old shop. Then that 75 amp panel feeds the new shop with a 40 amp panel. What I would like to do is get a 100 amp panel in the new shop and get rid of the 75 amp panel in the old shop...
The 20 amp breaker that protects ceiling can lights trips with increasing regularity. It takes a few tries to get it to reset. The can lights (led bulbs installed 2 years ago) are on older dimmers. They worked fine until recently. Should I start by replacing the breakers, the dimmers, or...
Hi. I am DIYer who is trying to add a 20 AMP circuit to a residential Challenger SB12(16-24)CN Mod.1 panel. The purpose of the circuit to is to allow the use of a 1400W pond vacuum. My first thought/question is whether this panel is compatible with tandem breakers (ie Eaton BR2020...
Hello, I have a Chinese 90w laser engraver, and recently the power supply went out. While operating, I heard a pop, and when I disassembled, I found one of the transistors had shorted with a black mark. I have since replaced this power supply, and replaced the fuse that is located in the...
I will shortly be having a range cooker installed that requires 2 x 13 amp supplies. Maximum power required is stated as 3 kW and 2.85 kW respectively. I have a redundant cooker supply on its own circuit, probably 30 amp. I would like to convert this to provide the power for the new cooker. Can...
Hello, I am looking for some recommendations for external motor isolators with Aux contact block. Ideally large enough to gland 3 cables at the bottom, most likely 3x M20. possibly 2x M25 1x M20 for a few. I have taken over maintenance on a site and most isolators are unserviceable and will need...
Hello,
My sub panel is 100 amp (from a main of 200 amp) and it currently has a 20 amp 240 v breaker for A/C and then only lights and outlets. This is not a house, just a remote building with toilets, shower and outside kitchen.
I want to add an instant on tankless water heater that requires a...
I have a number of circuits in a not very old Hager sub CU, with split RCDs. All of the active circuits (8 used in a 12 slot dual RCD CU) test fine. RCDs tripping fine under test with Megger MFT. However, I have a MTN B140 (40 amp obvs) MCB in the board that has nothing connected to it. ie...
I have a champion 7500 electric start Genny, model no 100463 that I bought second hand. I was told it was gently used but have since noticed that it has been tinkered with. My question of the day is;
When I plug into the 20 amp outlets, I have to turn the 30 amp breaker on to be able to use the...
