Garage heat

I'm so damned old by the time "they find out" they'll have to dig me up along with the electrical / plumbing LOL

On a side note, I spent about a dozen years in HVAC/R. I've seen numerous electrical mistakes BY SUPPOSED LICENSED ELECTRICIANS which would make your hair fall out

"Only one" such story was in the (at the time) of the small shop Lennox dealer I worked. Boss asked if I could run a dedicated outlet for a 120V small Miller MIG to be used under an exhaust hood in the far corner. The panel was overcrowded, I told him "you better hire an electrician."

So I get back to the shop one afternoon, and the sheet metal guys goes, "MAN!!" Del, that little Miller REALLY WELDS now they got the new outlet in!!!

I added 3 +3 and got a negative number and said to myself BULLCRAP and went over and measured the voltage at the new outlet

Are you guys aware of "Delta" 3 phase which has a "wild leg?" This service has 3 hot legs, any 2 of which are 240 between legs, and a neutral which is 120V to TWO legs but "wild" to the third leg. This leg MUST be tagged in the box and not used for 120V loads

YUP!!! The "electrician" had wired the new outlet to the wild leg!!! 178V !!!!!

I called up their boss and read him the riot act. I told him "if that Miller dies for any reason in about the next year YOU are paying for it."

Says something about Miller welders, I guess!!
