Welcome back! Today we are servicing one emergency job, doing 1 full above ground pool and bonding it, AND finishing up 1 underground pool job we started a few days prior! 12hr day and we didn’t even stop for lunch! Enjoy!

The reason that outlet burned up is because the space heater on high pulse 1500 W. You have to apply the three hour rule which states you must multiply the load by 125% which comes to 1875 W on that outlet that’s rated for 1800 W now you see what happens and why it was burned up that’s why it happens

I seen you using white tape for securing the wires for your pull, just brought back a memory of when my journeyman saw me do the same. I pushed, he pulled, only about 15 feet into an attic and he ripped off the white tape and told me to pull the wires back and use black tape. He says every other color except black is for re-identifying. Some people just have their own way😅

I will just have to vicariously enjoy the trade by watching videos like yours.

Concerning the burnt receptacle think that I never came across a residential circuits portable heater that drew more then 1500 watts ( 12 amps ) so a 15 amp duplex receptacle would handle it. Have came across the problem from either strands broken on flimsy china male plugs or plug not pushed all the way into the receptacle. Would use a wuality soec grade duplex receptacle for any know heavier loads. In my own home had to replace the make plug on a tosster where the make plug hot hot .

have seen that MANY times. It's the poor quality cord caps that burn up because they are a crimped / stamped connection inside the rubber end. you can get discoloring at 600 watts or less draw, over time.

Has anybody ever performed ground resistance iff such ground wire buried so shallow? Would like somebody to attempt to use this shallow buried copper to illuminate a 100 watt incadescent lamp. I think it would be a lot safer to bury 8' ground rods to have a year round mire dependable ground especially during a drought.
@johnhaller585111 ай бұрын
Growing up, we didn't even have GFCI for the pump, let alone a ground wire buried around the pool. In an in-ground concrete pool, the bonding is attached to the rebar. The point of this bonding isn't to find a true ground, but to get the water at the same electric potential as all of the electrical components attached to the pool, or in-reach of the pool and the earth itself. A downspout near the pool even has to be bonded, I guess in case the gutter was energized. Whether this is for short circuit protection, or to reduce lightning induced voltage differences, or both, I'm not sure.

@@johnhaller5851 I was a sparky for 50 enjoyable years but only ran power to one swimming pool. Yep a freebie for my sister. Had plenty of insurance but did not want the life time liability. Did electrical work in schools, medical centers, hospitals, churches, machine & tool & die shops, offices, slaughterhouse, garages etc. Even did work in a 309 year old house & Quaker Meetinghouse. Always told customers to hire guys who wire in at least a dozen pools a year. They get the work done quick and always pass inspection.

You ground once at the service and your other ground wires bond to that . The bond wires also are attached to all non current carry metal parts like the frame of panels and boxes. It’s the fail safe of the cct, if something energizes that shouldn’t the breaker will trip.

Connecting together conductive stuff in the area that isn't part of the electrical equipment intended to carry current. Code often requires such stuff to be bonded but not necessarily grounded. You are essentially creating a place for lightening and similar electricity to go.

INCORRECT. Orange conduit is not UV resistant so it would have to be transitioned to gray conduit before emerging from the ground. There is no advantage to this versus using gray conduit for the entire project. Even in electric utilities, our crews used gray conduit for 7,200V URD with tracer or red concrete above. Orange conduit is also associated with data cables.
