    Electrical circuit troubleshooting?

    I'm looking for some recommendations on what might be causing this and possible solutions. We've got an undergound/wireless dog fence (I'll omit the dist/brand info as I don't really think it's pertinent) that we've had for almost 3 years. Up until recently it's been pretty problem free but...

    12 gauge in-wall 20a wire vs. 12 gauge extension cord on 20a circuit?

    Is there going to be a difference in performance of a tool drawing 15amps (dust collector) if I plug a good quality 12ga extension cord into a 20a outlet vs. running another outlet closer to where I want the tool? Obviously there is a safety risk with a cord laying on the floor but this is...

    arc fault circuit breakers

    All, I'm in the midst of wiring my new shop, and I wonder if anyone has had either good or bad experiences using arc fault circuit breakers. I don't think that they're required in my application, but I'd thought about using them for the added measure of safety. However, somewhere I read that...

    DC Controller Circuit - 03

    When the light beam to the photoeye is blocked by sawdust in a full bin (here it is done artificially), the photoeye switches power to its Red output and energizes the ''Ice Cube'' relay coil, tripping the normally open contacts to the closed position and opening the contacts carrying power to...

    DC Controller Circuit - 01

    6'' by 6'' x 4'' deep PVC junction box with 230 V Contactor at left and DPDT ''Ice Cube'' relay for Bin Sensor at right. Incoming power from a Remote Controlled outlet is fed through normally closet contacts of the ''Ice Cube'' relay to the coil of the Contactor. The Contactor then passes 230V...

    Cyclone Dust Alarm circuit *w/sketch*

    I started a new thread so this wouldn't get lost in the original thread. As promised, below are two CAD (crayon alternative drawings :roll::roll::roll:) of my cyclone high dust electric eye circuit and a mod to improve cyclone dust drum operation. As you can see, the "dusk to dawn" electric...

    How many electrical outlets per shop circuit?

    In general, does anyone know how many electrical outlets one would place on a shop circuit. I am already assuming that it wouold be best to use 12 AWG wire for the outlets and that I should keep the lights on a seperate circuit. Thanks for any input.
