Awesome! Thank you so much for the help. It is still GCFI protected. Everything you said is clear except bonding the metal receptacle box to the metal enclosure it’s mounted onside of? The outlet and the receptacle box are both grounded. But what about the NEC metal enclosure that houses it...

I temp wired a new GFCI in a pigtail fashion. Problem solved. Question though. I can’t find anything about a metal receptacle inside a metal enclosure. Do I need to run another ground from the 6 slot Wago to the bonding point on the enclosure as well? Or will the screws through the tabs on the...

That’s great information. It’s in PVC conduit with a burial depth of 12-18 inches but the train is not filled in yet. The 5’ GFCI trips randomly even with no load on the line and nothing plugged in at the end. The final GFCI does not trip. I’m gonna try a different GFCI first. If that doesn’t...

Guess I was wrong. Still tripping on its own. But no longer when throwing the breaker. “ The circuit is too long for the equipment being protected by the GFCI. This is common in GFCI circuit breakers with circuit lengths over 150’. Capacitive leakages due to the wire length of the circuitry...

I took 5’ apart. There’s an odd daisy chain method. There’s two insulated ground wires, one coming in from the sub panel and one going out to 150’. Line and load are all being connected via the outlet rather than being spliced together then having pigtail wires to the outlet. However the...

I need some help troubleshooting this. I have a GFCI outlet that occasionally trips. The only abnormal behavior I can recreate is if I cycle the breaker on and off, the gfci will trip. A breaker was added to a swimming pool sub panel to run power to a gate 150 ft away. It goes from the breaker...

I don’t this design has that. That seal fits over the end of the plastic impeller. That has a captive brass nut on the end of it that screws into the motor drive shaft. So when you tighten it down, it switches around the plastic impeller sleeve. I suppose I could add silicone there and see if it...

I Replaced the shaft seal on an aqua flow xp2 pump and I still have a little leaking. The seal is formed by the two pieces of ceramic contacting each other allowing for movement, but being water tight. The only seals that I can find now use this raised ceramic ring. The original basically had...

I am replacing a wall oven from the '60s and would like to put two appliances in the space. In the back I have wiring for two hots going back to twin 40 amp breakers in the main panel that are linked together and a neutral. There's no ground. Would it be somehow possible to run both appliances...

The EGC was bonded to the box. The electrician commented he wanted me to ground the box 'instead of running a wire all the way back to the panel.' Which confused me. No GFCI breaker at the panel. This uses #8 wire about 300 feet to an existing circuit in an out building which is an additional...

Electrician ran a GFCI outlet into driveway gate control box to charge the 12V battery that runs the gate. As 120v is now in the metal enclosure it should be grounded. The soil is very rocky and I'm unsure if it will take a grounding rod. However the gate post right next to it is 5x5" steel set...

It's an old ranch from the 1850's. It's a mix of old and new. You have brand new breaker panels, right next to old knob and tube. In come cases they are plumbed togeather. It's bazare. I can't even figure out what supplies what because of all the crisscrossing tie ins. Here are two 220 pumps...

I think I may have found the trouble point. The wires coming out of the weather head on the side of the building that splice to the power drop just out of frame look like the insulation is toast. It looks like plywood was placed over the exterior wall at some point partially covering the weather...

This connects to the meter above and feeds several breaker panels down stream for an entire ranch (house/ several barns/ pool/ pumps). Some of the legs in the barns are still fused/ knob/ tube. I intermittently lose one leg and traced it back to the main box shown. Noncontact voltage sensor...

I wish I knew I could have used some other piping other than galvanized. I thought I read somewhere that the pump required galvanized pipe for grounding and also heat dissipation. Fitting up the galvanized was definitely a pain, expensive, and while those pipes are cerca 1991 the amount of rust...

You think it's important that I move it?

Installing a new pump. It has the pressure switch attached. Is it better to use the existing pressure switch attached to the pipe downstream and plug the one on the pump?

Are there any other checks that I can do on the pressure tank? The salesman today stated that his guy told him the pressure tank was bad and so that needs to be replaced. Now they're also saying to solve the pump problem I should get a 2 horsepower pump with a variable speed motor and the...

T I cant get it to draw less than 8.5amps without restricting the inflow to the pump. It runs on a pressure switch. 40-70 psi. At any point between 40-70psi it is drawing over 8.5amps. Reguardless of the number of sprinklers, pump clicks on... high amps. If only turn one faucet on it will...

It was the only number on the pump. Any other place to look? The salesman quoted 20gpm. I'd say it prob produces about that.
