How do I put the cat 5 pair in this block for CT clamp
They don’t just push in.
Do I have to strip the cable first also or does something “cut in to” the wires when it’s into grip?
Bend radius on 6/2 MC
Hey everyone, I’m looking to install a Tesla charger on exterior house wall into garage using 6/2 MC. The breaker is located in the basement and I have a pretty easy run within the joists of an unfinished basement ceiling, and can access the exterior wall cavity with going through the sole plate. My question is,will the turn radius of MC be to tight if I go directly through from the wall cavity into the backing plate of the charger? (noted with purple arrow) Thanks!
Does lower quality receptacle matter for non-EV high load devices?
Given the issues with EV charging on a lower quality receptacle, should there be concern about using lower quality receptacles for other "higher load" devices (induction stove, heat pump dryer, heat pump water heater)?
Some of these may also be "on" for extended periods of time.
We don't have electric stove/dryer/water heater yet, but electrician pre-wired 50A/30A/30A circuits for these.
Looking at the dryer receptacle (looks a lot like the ones that get crispy when used for EV charging) is what brought up the question.
Thank you!
