at 5:30 you talked about flat cable width or so, and you also mentioned it is your own opinion, I googled it and saw the image of a flat cable measured the other way, instead of 0.17", it was 0.41" x5 times 2.05" radius or 4.1" diameter. www.google.com/search?q=NEC+bending+radius+reason&rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS1041US1041&oq=NEC+bending+radius+reason&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigAdIBCTE2MDc0ajBqOagCALACAQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#vhid=7xqPNWtXU2FZGM&vssid=l Thanks for your great conversation!

Just last week I ran into this, and like you said every 3rd breaker slot was empty. There is one set of wires from the pole connecting to two heads with two separate line sets going down to separate disconnects. But one panel has the orange, center, high leg fuse missing, then at the two panels they lead to it changes to the C phase, and is marked high leg orange. Is anything different as far as bonding neutral to ground, at the first panel only? Reason I ask is one of the sub panels has a sticker saying it would need an isolation kit to separate grounds from neutrals, and both were attached to same screw terminals. Wondering too about balancing the phases, thought I’d connect all the 240v HVAC units and ovens etc that are truly 240v, meaning no neutrals to the high leg to try to balance things, but not sure if I should or if I should just keep not using the high leg. I’m doing what I can before the electricians come in.

Ryan, just throwing this out there......if a home has a blank island that has no outlets on it and someone decides they wanted to cook/prep/etc on this island, why does it seem like there would be some that would use an extension cord plugged into backsplash outlet above base kitchen cabinets, draped across the walking space to the island so they could now have power on said island. Seems like this new island code would promote something like this that would be even more of a danger.

Thanks for the three hour rule explanation for continuous operation. I upgraded my built in non-plugged electric furnace air handler to a 5 ton from a 3.5 ton and it had a 100 amp breaker. We put a current meter on it and it read 82 amps on high. It is a 2 speed, 42/82 amps. The 2 amps is for the blower motor. We were uncertain about the definition of continuous load until I watched your video. The heater will never be on high for three straight hours.

Let's say I only have a # 8 conductor in my van, for a 30 amp circuit. Do I HAVE to upsize the EGC because I upsized my current carriers? (NEC should say "current carriers instead of ungrounded conductors, because if I increase size for voltage drop I will increase the neutral/grounded conductor as well)
@RyanJacksonElectrical12 күн бұрын
Yes. The argument has long been that increasing the size of the ungrounded conductor yields higher fault current and, therefore, could damage the EGC. So it isn't just a voltage drop issue. Although I'm not convinced, personally.
@workct41027 күн бұрын
@@RyanJacksonElectrical yeah...it makes no sense seeing as the code specifically states there is NO need to increase EGC for conductor fill or temperature adjustments. Then the EGC is good enough. This code needs to be changed....otherwise I will omit the EGC and use the conduit and be compliant.

I disagree with the too high of a value motor amps when connecting 2, 4 or 6 pole plain jane Nema frame motors that in my 50 years as a commercial electrician covered over 99% of installtions. Of the thousands of motors that I have replaced, moved, installed or PM'ed never came across a single motor that was within 10% of the NEC ampere. Just went 125% of the motor FLA & if a long run would calculate voltage drop and would increase wire size if needed. We had AHU'S that had two 60 to 125 HP motors where both supply motors ran 24/7 but seldom over 50% of full speed and on VFD'S. I could run over 1200 amps of AHU motors from a 800 amp distribution panel for 50 years snd never trip out the 800 amp breaker because of constant reduced speeds feed from VFD'S. Only time a supply motor ran close to full speed was when other motor was down for PM or rare replacement.

Since rebar does not come in 1000' lengths (usually max 60'), the sections of rebar would have to be electrically connected together, not just touching with a piece of rebar wire tie around them. Also, unlike a water line whose location is well known and makes a huge mess when it is cut, someone could core or cut into the concrete right through the piece of rebar that is being used as the grounding conductor and never be the wiser.
