Make it bigger - I used 2". If nothing else, it makes the pull easier. Pull everything you think you're going to want. I recommend one of the multi-conductor bundles that have a couple of phone line

Don't run your electric and your data/voice in the same conduit. The current in the electric will affect the other signal lines. jim /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majordomo@autox.team.ne

We're in the middle of a sizeable remodel on our house, and in adding up the electric and gas requirements I'm looking at something close to a 400 amp service (of course, that's not just the new sho

Check the cost of 3-phase. A Bridgeport just doesn't use enough power to make this usually worth the expense. I only has a 2-3 HP motor and you can use either a rotary or solid-state phase converter.

A TIG welder only uses 50-60 amps at some pretty high power levels. Will you really be doing 2 things at once while doing this? Will you really be welding 3" thick aluminum castings that often? If th

I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that's significantly more expensive than the $2-500 it'll cost for a decent 3ph converter... plus the better ones of those will let you adjust the speed of the 3ph

Three phase will cost a lot. There's also going to be a premium to pay if you try to get service that's over what they consider "standard household" - especially if the local transformer and feeder w

I totally agreed with Eric on this. The newer speed control phase converters (what is their real name?) are great. They adjust the number of cycles per second to adjust the speed. Mark V.S. in Austin

Yeah, that's a bit of a concern right now. True, but it does have to be the sum of the loads in the house, once you apply the various NEC demand 'derating' factors, right? By the time you get two ov
