    Reposted from response at alternate listing for this subject: No. The exception deal with the disconnecting portion of overcurrent protection. In other words, if you have the ground fault protection, you are 1) required to have it present at all the locations listed, and 2) now allowed to...

    GFCI for 240V 50A commercial dishwasher

    Relax... You are not required to install GFCI protection on your commercial dishwasher...or residential for that matter. The utilization of GFCI is primarily for personnel protection. This is why you will see GFCI's is areas where water may be present....countertops in baths, kitchens...

    E-Bids

    Sadly enough, the scenario you have laid out is not uncommon. While the Owner and his representatives establish a projected budget for the project, realistic or not, with the current economic times, they are able to shop bids much easier than previously. With quality projects, or any projects...

    BS7671 v's IEC60364-4-41

    Response at this date may not be helpful, but here goes. This is a somewhat open-ended question. The first obvious response is that it depends on the particular standard -- in other words....maybe not... British Standards that are currently in place, are obviously valid for British...

    Source for EN requirements

    Point well taken....UL has served as an agency of third party review.... CE Mark is a Self Declaration issuance. On the matter of color harmonization, thank you for your input. Upon specific inquiry, UL stated to us that such was not the case. It has not been a problem with any client thus...

    Source for EN requirements

    Thank you for your input ccaserta, and you are correct in the application of EN 60204-1. Additionally, having conferred with UL, who is certified for third party inspections for CE Mark, the only wire color actually harmonized at this point is the green/yellow protective conductor. However, in...

    THHN 16AWG Diameter?

    THHN is only readily available down to 14awg.....16awg and lower are manufactured as TFFN....for most manufacturers is actually the same insualtion and elastomeric cover, being that most wires are valued as more than one category. Also, you will see the insulation value rise to 105C

    Article 310.15(4) of the NEC

    This has been a matter on whic I have watched local inspectors flip-fllop, of course all the while denying ever having thought the opposite. The current thought among them for the last 10 years has been that if 3 phase conductors share the same neutral, regardless of single or multiple loads...

    EMT conduit in basements

    Not sure exactly of your term "cross basement". However, no EMT is required in residential basement or attic applications unless 3 stories above grade is exceeded. In said instance, EMT would be one option.
