Really funny when one person goes by two different names on here. Makes them just as phoney as what they write. Lol enjoy you dollar forty nine system.
Electrical Power Outlet advice
I moved my system to the basement. It's listed under the systems as "mewsickbuff's unfinished basement system." There’s only one electrical outlet presently. I’ve made an appointment with an electrician to have 2 more outlets installed. I’ve requested each outlet be wired separately and not piggy backed. Since it’s in the basement the outlets will need to be GFCI. I’ve read a little about Furutech and Hubbell outlets. Are there others? I’d like to know what I need to ask and expect out of the electrician. Thanks.

Breakers run for several of seconds at several multiples of the rated value. Trip at rated current is likely a defective breaker. How long depends on the Trip Curve. See Understanding Trip Curves - c3controls |
+1 @bikeboy52 GFCI outlets are designed to be daisy chained to non-GFCI outlets. The biggest issue is really cost and convenience. When your GFCI trips, where is the most conenient location to reset it? Your panel or the outlet? Now your breakers shoudl be CAFCI, so if you are required to use GFCI, this should be combined CAFCI + GFCI breaker. :) I don’t think you are forced to use CAFCI breakers with new circuits, but they are safer. Also, if you are going to do that then for the love of the Goddess of Aesthetics, match the outlet shape! Get decorator square outlets too. :) |
