Reno: The wording within 600.5 (A) also does not state 'exterior' for the required outlet. Granted, we all put it outside. As to pylon type signs, not a word as to circuitry. Basically, I have to say it's a design thing, not 'code'. Hence, as the

I wanted a new cellphone last year and ended up having to get something prepaid from Tracfone (it cost me all of $20). It was nearly impossible to get something that didn't have a camera or video or ringtone downloads or realtime internet or a zilli

I can run every light, TV, computer, refrigerator, etc, in my house with my 3500W (15A 240V) gen. It can also run our microwave, coffee pot and garage doors, although I've always been careful not to do any of these simultanously. I can even run our

It could be a complete coincidence that everything blown was on one phase. Was anything sensitive plugged into the other phase that was not impacted? Also important, were any surge supressors plugged into the other phase? If a powerstrip on the

The ATS has to support the ampacity of both feeds. If the OCP on the utility side is 800A, you need to use an 800A ATS even if the generator can only put out 200A. With a house that large, I'm betting NEC requires an 800A service, or close to it,

JMO, but I believe that since most commercial sign and parking lot lighting is normally on over three hours, it would be considered a continuous load. Since these circuits would need to be calculated at 125%, I think the only way to really do that a

That's one of my pet peeves as well. I don't think that one of my televisions has more than five buttons on it. Just about everything uses some form of navigation key set now, like cell phones. Like Greg said, the manufacturers aren't making thing

I understand in some places a "sign" can have the same load requirements as a small village but in my little town they are so limited in size and illumination that they can easily share a general lighting circuit. I agree, I am not sure why

We often hear that "the code requires ...', but finding that requirement isn't always easy. Let's look at the circuits used to power signs, as an example. It has been asserted that signs are required to be on a dedicated circuit. I am having a

Basically switches cost money and software is free. I do believe the electronic manufacturers have simply written off 90 million baby boomers. They don't care that we can't see the displays and that we don't want 1000 features we will never use.

In 2008 they removed all references to "lighting and appliance" panel boards so it just says "all loads that are part of or associated with a dwelling". They are saying you are counting on the load diversity you have in the total
