The innards of a 15A & 20A receptacle of the same grade device is identical, only difference is the face of the device, unless a 20A device is needed and then it would require a dedicated circuit...

Can't go wrong with either a vintage Rockwell or Baldor grinder, they beat the cheap junk out China every time. Picked up a Baldor built JC Penney 6" for $40.
When overlamping with incandescent lamps it was possible to damage the wiring in the J-box behind the fixture, even more of a problem with older NM sheathed cable with TW insulation, which ceased...
Yeah, but the days of a "fix-it" ticket being free are long gone, in the past all you had to do was correct the problem & get a cop to sign off on it & send it in, now you get to pay too. BTW, if...
3 OL's are required by code for 3 phase.
According to Mike Holt, PA is on the 2017 NEC.

If anyone is in a State that has adopted the 2020 or 2023 NEC, GFCI protection is required for all receptacles 120V or 240V, in a shop. Concrete has nothing to do with it.
Not much copper used in transmission & distribution, mostly aluminum conductors.
No, they never had grounding conductors that is one of the biggest old wives tales around, oven cavities had a light & a lot had a convenience receptacle requiring a neutral, and the important thing...
Any dryer or range can be either 3 or 4 wire, but since the adoption of the 1996 NEC, 4-wire is required, & since the most recent editions GFCI is required, but with 3-wire receptacles there is NO...
The plug must be horsepower rated, the typical 50A 250V straight blade plug/receptacle only has a 3 HP rating over that would need to go to pin and sleeve devices & most people will choke at the...
That idea should be filed in the same place as using a penny behind a plug fuse, using green insulated conductor as a line conductor, or using a match to see how much gas in in the can, there are...
You have to account for the ballast loss in addition to the lamps.
Not able to protect extension cords & the whole process to get them included into code was filled with deceit, making the users the beta test, unlike GFCI's,which are proven to work, nobody can prove...
Under NO circumstances can the 90°C column be used for sizing conductors except for derating since equipment is not rated for 90°C, NM cable "Romex®" is sized from the 60°C column, & larger feeders...
Conductors larger then 1/0 can be paralleled, they have to be the same material, insulation type, & the same length, but is a good way to make things easier to work with over wrangling larger cables.
12" is for residential branch circuits 20A 120V max GFCI protected, most conduit & cables is 18" except under roads & driveways which is 24", rigid or IMC metal conduit is 6", 'cept under roads &...
Is the OP's WH a Whirlpool? They have a horrible reputation & Lowe's persisted in selling them for years, and removing it would be a good idea, last year replaced my 40 YO State WH, had a lot of lime...
Does anyone like those CARB compliant gas cans? There were some You Tube videos on modifying them to make them usable, I look at estate sales for decent ones.
CARB = California Air Resources...
65A subpanel? 65A is not a standard size fuse or circuit breaker, it jumps from 60A to 70A.
The simple answer is Polaris connectors to reduce conductor size, not inexpensive but perfect for the situation.

Makes me glad I used better quality panels, for a long time Cutler-Hammer CH were last decent residential/light commercial loadcenters, although they went to the dark side too because of Snake Oil...
We already have exploding Samsung washers & phones now add other makes of fridges.
Motors rated for 230V are not suitable for 208V, motors need to be rated for 200V, 208V, 200-230V, or 208-230V, or buck/boost transformer(s) installed to buck up the voltage.
Furnas was bought by Siemens, they dropped the Furnas brand name in favor of Siemens, they did sell some of the Furnas product lines also.
