Thanks

Not that I want to argue or come off as "sanctimonious" a second time, but it did take me five years of hell to just qualify to write my CofQ exam... That's even more time than it takes to get a...

I completely agree with the above.... I think I've stated this already, but electrical, especially residential, isn't brain surgery and thinking back through my experience with other tradesman in...

See now that's funny... Here (Ontario), even with my license, I can't pull a permit to perform work for another. In fact, I can't legally do work for someone if they pulled the permit themselves. ...

If it's sanctimonious to be more concerned about one's safety rather than the pride gained by diying a project. I'll gladly accept that comment as a compliment. I still live in Barrie, so PM me if...

That's the reason why systems utilize 240v...? really...? It has nothing to do with power consumption, or the addition load that type of system can handle...? The only time 240v is safer, is when...

It's advice like this that makes my skin crawl. Current kills but voltage gives it an easier time.

Once more, don't let the this site's diy members convince you to do something you're...

Maybe ten yrs ago, but I highly doubt you'll pull of buying what you'd need for that job for $75 these days. $300 for sub panel install is a good price. Everyone seems to forget that time=$$$.

You answered your own question ;)

I just finished taping up the seems on the rigid insulation I put on my basement walls. Keep in mind that if you seal all the seams and fill gaps with spray foam it will double as a vapour barrier. ...

FWIW...

The best solution would have been to replace the metal duct work with a flexible type. The Borg and the like sell a 25' length for ~$50, but it can be had at < half that cost if you can...

To be honest, I had to google it to find real numbers. From what the great wiki tells me, systems operating below 208v phase to phase don't have enough potential to cause an arc flash. It more so the...

I've been there, on temp basis mind you. Scariest 2 mins of my life... My worst at work accident by a long shot was by flash. I'd rather take a lift any day.

My plant is just starting to get into compliance with arc flash regs on the floor. We've always had the suit, helmet/shield for the switch gear room though. Each electrician is issued 2 pairs of...

^^That's the type system I was thinking of, but never seen one with a second "wet cyclone".



lol... funny you should mention that. With the system we had at my plant, the reservoir auto...

This is a wood working forum right...?:o

I was going to pull the trigger on some starett precision squares when I was getting into tool&die, and forunately my journeyman pointed out that a...

lol...maybe...

Cheap multimeters that do not contain internal overcurrent protection have been known to explode, if used improperly. Usually it's case of the meter being set up to measure...

Close... it's the second from the bottom in the PB-15A section... The blower uses a 8" opening/exhaust, but that really only plays into it's max cfm rating, somewhere around 3800. You can reduce your...

No, the dryer was quite large, and would quickly fill that particular section of the plant with dust when that scrubber shut down for any short period of time. I couldn't comment on it's cost, but do...

I've never been in a lab or even know of any secret underground facilities, however we had a scrubber in my old plant that moved a ton of air. It was used to capture fine dust being spewed off of a...

...and possibly explosive....

Any that feel water filtration doesn't work, should do what I suggested in my first reply, and google "wet air scrubber". The tech is in use, and does far greater filtering than possible with a...

Yep... fuses get a bad rap, but as Rod says, they're actually better...

It isn't uncommon in industry to see breaker protected by fuses up stream...
