| Shielded Speaker Wire 12AWG From my limited listening experience, other than coax cables used from a TT to a phono preamp, shielded cables can suck the air, the life, out of the sound of the music. That’s even been my experience with shielded power cords. There are other wa... | |
| Shielded Speaker Wire 12AWG Have you researched using shielded speaker cables? Here’s one guys opinion on shielded speaker cables. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=961LaW8xVd4 | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex Note. The handle is ON in the down position. https://i.postimg.cc/YCwy6RXq/Top-Panel-Open.jpg Here is a good example of an NEC code violation that is grandfathered-in. This from 1975 NEC Quote: " 240-81 Indicating. Circuit breakers shall cle... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity said: Yes. It’s a short, straight run from the outlet down to the garage - just as it appears in the illustration I created above. Best and cheapest way is to have the electrician install 10-2 solid copper MC cable. You will save on ... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @1971gto455ho 2011 NEC 210.7 was added to NEC. FWIW, in the US if you wired the duplex outlets as you have them wired before the 2011 NEC was adopted by the state, or AHJ governing body for the county or city you live in, they would be grandfat... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @1971gto455ho Said: Best Practices: It’s recommended to use separate, appropriately sized 20 amp circuits with their own breakers and wiring to feed each half of the duplex receptacle. This ensures proper protection and avoids potential hazards... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity said: As far as aesthetics, I could live with a short run (about 12") coming straight up from the floor to the bottom of a surface-mounted outlet box. Is that the extent of the new branch circuit wiring there will be in the Condo? Ab... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity Nice photo of the bottom surfaced mounted electrical panel. How about a photo of the interior of top Main Electrical service panel. That’s the one I wanted to see. Breakers in the Square D panel in the above photo are their Homline sty... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @1971gto455ho said: @jea48 Thank you for your interest, I’m using 4 Single pole breakers with nicely separated independent 12 gauge wires, there is no need or code to use breaker ties, I want them independent. I’ve a 100 amp panel servicing lit... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity I should probably open the panel and take a photo. If you feel safe doing so... Get a good well lit close up piture of the interior of the main panel. What is the size, handle amp rating, of the breaker that feeds the kitchen sub pa... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity said My condo has a subpanel in the kitchen with individual breakers for the different circuits in my home. The two panels in the garage (the Square-D panels with one sitting above the other) are my main panel. OK. . If you look cl... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity It just occurred to me, your Condo electrical wiring is not fed from any of the load center panels in the photo you posted. Where is the electrical panel that feeds your Condo unit located? I assume somewhere in the Condo. Why are you ... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity That angled flexible metal conduit feeding the small load centers is butt ugly... The HOA shouldn’t question your use of MC cable. Good thing about 10-2 solid copper wire MC cable, the solid #10awg copper wire stiffens the metal armor... | |
| Electrical question @sns said: @jea48 Correct. microwave on opposite phase from dedicated circuits to audio system. Correct, in response to this post of mine on 08-08-2025 at 01:29pm @sns said on 08-08-2025 at 10:03am I monitor voltage 24/7, 120-121 constant... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex I’m 10’ from a dedicated panel wires in wall ending at two hospital grade outlets. What you have is basically 10ft extensions of equipment power cords. 10ft of branch circuit wiring does little, if anything, to decouple the power supplies of di... |
