I need to do something that I know won't be quite right, and want to figure out how to do it as safely as possible. I have a sub-panel that feeds (fed) the heatpump - it's fed with three conductors:

If you are comfortable working in the electrical panel that feeds the sub-panel you can replace the double breaker there with a single one and connect the remaining wire which used to go to the brea

Pat (and Donald, who replied directly): Thanks - that's a great idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Indeed, the original wiring used Romex, so I have a white lead. I can either change out th

Does your wiring have two or three insulated conductors? The bare wire should NEVER be used to carry current. That being said, the DPO of our house did that and I have not corrected that circuit yet.

I'm not sure what the code says about BX cable outside, but where we live (rural Texas) you find it all the time. Just be sure that there is a drip loop in the cable so if any water gets into the ca

It is my understanding that you should not use BX outdoors. If you need something flexible outdoors, there is plastic flexible conduit, often called "Greenfield". It is commonly used for connection t

Dunno, but the plastic stuff my pool pump is wired with, & I just used for the new air compressor; is cheaper and easier to work with than BX, plus is rated for outdoor use. Randall ________________

This was my reply to Karl. I don't think it made it to the list for some reason. No, I was thinking of flexible non-metallic conduit. The one I think I used was Carflex by Carlon. http://www.carlon.c
