I'm thinking, and while I could be wrong, is the adiabatic method a possible latent safety hazard? As well as undersized CPCs on circuits 32 amps and under?
Normally DNO sources are strong with relatively high PFC, and we have a known Ze value. However, should someone bring a portable...

I'm using the stock fuel pump wiring to trigger two different relays for my two fuel pumps on my car built for drag racing. The first relay is a normal relay and the second relay is a Beuler time delay relay (it's a BU-508TD model which has since been replaced by the BU-509TD, but they function...
I recently bought a simple welder for some basic hobby welding, it is a 110/220 welder and I would like to use it on the 220 I already have but I'm a bit unsure if the 220 outlet I have will be ok.
My main concern is that the welder has a Standard 110 US plug on it but comes with a Standard 110...
Hi!!
I have a 1928 vintage car, and want to run a Stereo with AMP, and install some airhorns.
The car uses a 6V battery, so I bought a separate LIFEPO4 100AH, 12V battery to run these items.
The stereo amp needs 15A, and the airhorns are also 15A. The stereo unit, not sure yet (trying to find...
Hi there,
First time poster, thanks for your advice!
At the factory where I have just joined, we have some electricians that are mainly experienced in residential installs and not a lot of industrial.

I had an Intermatic timer light switch that seemed to stop turning on and off automatically. I bought a Defiant replacement.
The old switch had wires coming from it which were attached to the corresponding wires from the wall. The new switch did not come with any wires aside from two jumper...
Because I have no wall outlet grounded anywhere in the house, I asked an electrician to help and the solution that didn't involved destroying the walls was to wire a power strip directly into the electrical panel (i got one right where the entrance is, I don't know the exact name but every...
Hey I'm looking to install an outlet into a cord in my wall that was exposed by a hole that had been capped. When I cut into it I found out it had 3 main wires (black, white, red, ground) and I assume it's because it leads to a 220V outlet on the opposite side of the wall. My question is can I...
My wife and I bought some Philips hue bulbs for our ceiling lights. They are E27 screw fit bulbs but our lamp holders are gx24q-1 so we bought some converters or adapters so we could use the E27 hue bulbs. I’ve plugged them in though and the bulbs don’t seem to work. Any advice? Do you think I...
Hi, all.
