Got a question for the electrician-types out there: I needed to replace a wall switch, and when I finally determined which breaker was on the circuit when I opened the breaker I still saw 40V AC on t

Could be normal, if there isn't any load connected. Or it might mean something odd with the wiring. I've seen several older houses now with strange things like fuses in the neutral. In my first hous

Sounds like you have leakage current flowing past the breaker. An easy way to be sure is to turn the breaker off and check the voltage. Then plug a lamp into one of the sockets on that circuit and t

I am wiring a bathroom for my shop and am installing a tankless water heater that uses 55A. I already have a 60 amp type QP breaker and a buddy suggested that I may want to consider a GFCI breaker. I

My thought - as long as the water pipe is reasonably well grounded, you should have no need for a GFI or AFI. Plastic pipe doesn't count. Donald. _______________________________________________ Suppo

Runs faster and wonderful, until you smell something burning. If you let continue, you see wisps of smoke and that's usually when the OS factor kicks in. ;p BTDT with a hair dryer on 220v abroad. Yes

It's all about temperature. 2X the voltage 4X the power. There are other variables as well and it would be a science project to find out how much overvoltage and for how long before you damage the mo

Buy two cheap used 12v motors and put them in series. That will take 24v and you'd have the fastest canoe on the lake!! On the more serious side, I would be more concerned about how long the speed co

Starting writing up a response for an emergency use of 24v for a 12v motor, but you want to run full time on 24v. My take is 24v will fry a 12v motor pretty quick. If you do this limit the throttle t

Depends on the "judiciously" part, IMO. Your controller almost certainly uses a solid-state chopper, so if it doesn't fry instantly and you limit yourself to what the performance would be at 12v, my
