Linesman's Pliers, or "nine's" as a Lineman would call them, have a square nose and a side cutter. Fence pliers have a short tapered nose and bypass...

The pliers at the bottom center are for "cyclone " or chain link fence (twisting the tie wire).

John, That's very interesting. Any idea on the age?

Roger, You are absolutely correct. The point I was trying to make is that "efficiency" and energy usage are independent of each other. A 80% gas...

"My average cost even with that extra cost was $23.75 per month for the past 12 months and for the actual 9 months where any gas was used my average...

How many belts? Are they step pulleys? Shaft sizes? Key sizes? As you found out 7M is a bastard. Did you try OWWM.ORG?

I believe in New Jersey, at least at one time, residential services were limited to 400 amp single phase by code. I'm not sure if that is still true....

The pump spy looks neat. I would set up an indicator on a current sensing relay or a contactor with a float switch. I understand you are looking...

I bet that makes a wicked mess when it flashes over!

Dave, On low voltage your motor is delta wound. It's on the name plate. I don't see why it would matter unless it's programming in your VFD. ...

Well, I deleted my post trying to edit it. Here goes. I assumed the OP's picture was of the motor. At second look it's not. What are the...

Good advice on here so far. Would I pay $700? Maybe. I'd bet it probably only has light use. If you can get the base with it it's a better deal. I...

In the second picture, the wire that looks like it burned the pole is a ground. It goes to the Lighting Arrestor, H1 is tied to the LA's primary. If...

It's used here as well. 120/208 Y. 120 volt phase to ground and 208 volt phase to phase. The utility company only needs two transformers to produce...

The utility added a circuit or a phase. It's also likely the added circuit is a higher voltage. They may plan on replacing the distribution...

I've never run across 200 vac. Plenty of 208 vac 3 phase. 2 phase was common in Philadelphia, Camden, and Niagara Falls (so I've heard). I can...

If you stick with 80% gas equipment, you only need one liner. 100k furnace and 40 gallon water heater would be 5" aluminum flexible chimney liner.
