Yes # 6 and a 10 foot ground rod or ground plate buried down 2 feet and/or to permanent moisture level . That is one thing the inspector will check for sure . Maybe take a picture before you bury it .

Maybe take a picture before you bury it .Oh yes of course ..... bonded to the water meter pipe for sure ... only problem is that they used cloth covered 14 gauge 2 wire .... and because its a service upgrade we have to involve Toronto Hydro
Which means permits ... inspectors and the current ground would never pass inspection... here in Ontario the code states that # 6 wire is to be used and because I dont want to break my finished ceiling to get to the meter .... I decided to dig to China
And btw ... I love staying at Holiday Inns
I would think that suddenly appearing in 1955 with a C8 would be mind blowing. 88 mph seems so slow though for a C8.Will there still be a clock you can set
for when you hit 88 mph?
Yeah; I had to go down 10 ft because of the dryness of the surroundings.Yes # 6 and a 10 foot ground rod or ground plate buried down 2 feet and/or to permanent moisture level . That is one thing the inspector will check for sure . Maybe take a picture before you bury it .
Yea we decided to go the ground plate route that hole you see is 20 inches by 16 inches by about 30 inches deepYes # 6 and a 10 foot ground rod or ground plate buried down 2 feet and/or to permanent moisture level .

I put mine under the garage floor because it was easier to dig there where the excavator had already dug (filled with sand) than outside where the ground was like caliche (cement).Yea we decided to go the ground plate route that hole you see is 20 inches by 16 inches by about 30 inches deep
And I'll just leave it open so he can see it then fill it ... what a pain it was to dig that hole... the amount of boulders that I had to fight with
Thanks .... Mr 1st vette ... moving forward I may have some electrical questions for you
This is a cold room ( cantina ) that is just on the other side of the electrical closet ... 12 inch block separates them Drill a hole and dig a hole .. alot easier than breaking ceiling and having to re patchI put mine under the garage floor because it was easier to dig there where the excavator had already dug (filled with sand) than outside where the ground was like caliche (cement).
There is a product you can get which comes as a powder in a bag much like cement called ground enhancing compound . You mix it with water and make a slurry and then pour it in the hole with the plate . Ask your electrical contractor about it . We always used used it . There is really no such thing as over kill when it comes to grounding . Very important .Yea we decided to go the ground plate route that hole you see is 20 inches by 16 inches by about 30 inches deep

Always here to help if I can .
The law of conservation of energy says that energy is neither created nor destroyed. There are ways, but we haven't figured it all out yet.You can"t get energy for no cost .
Cold fusion anyone?The law of conservation of energy says that energy is neither created nor destroyed. There are ways, but we haven't figured it all out yet.
I personally like hydrogen powered vehicles. The byproduct is water. Anyone thirsty?
Didn't that have us in glee for a couple of days eh? LOLCold fusion anyone?
Yes . Numerous times over the last 50 years. But when it is finally achieved, which it eventually will be , the only thing left will be to figure out how to tax the hell out of it.Didn't that have us in glee for a couple of days eh? LOL
Thanks. I was too lazy to post the same thing.It doesn't matter whether wind, solar, water, nuclear, etc. is used. They all cause some damage to the environment to manufacture them and to build the infra-structure to support them. Lithium ion batteries require huge mines to get the raw materials. EV cars require plastics, metal rubber etc. Unless we all walk around bare foot there will be some type of ecological damage. As for the power grid upgrading. Think of the brown outs during high peak summer hours when air conditioners are running. Some places even have black outs and/or restrictions on peak hours. Now throw in the EV charging and electrical grids will not be able to keep up. There will be a significant cost to consumers. My tea leaves show an electrical tax in the future.
EV's only here, but love your experience.If anyone wants to chat about the carbon tax, EV's, or other topics I'm happy to. I was the chairman of the sustainability committee of our engineering and geoscience organization for six years. I won't go into it in a post, but happy to chat if you like.
I heat with electric. 200 Amp service is a must.I would not mind an EV as my 3rd car.... I have a new Toyota Tacoma on order, but starting to consider F150 lightning instead. my next house will have a 19.2 kWh charger in the garage requiring a separate 100AMP circuit which is crazy as my current 8 year old 3000 sq ft house has 100amp total.
No offence. And that is a generous offer but I think I would rather pick the lint out of the Velcro on my parka .
