Electricians

greetings,

firstly, i hope this is the right place to be posting questions. if not, i'll delete it

Upon replacing a ceiling fan with this one (20 lbs), I learned that the box isn't rated for a fan: images

1. would you go forward with the installation anyway?
2. Can i make this apparatus fan rated by attaching a different box to the mount?
3. If not, how would you go about removing the old mount?

many thanks in advance

He looks just like my apprentice. I sent this to him and he said red going to buy that jacket and fuck shit up. I’m like you got 50% of that correct

This is a folding cart branded Olympia. Folds up pretty flat and fits in the van nice.

Rated for 300lbs total, 100lbs/shelf.

Still going strong for over a year with some minor reinforcement.

I asked him what he was doing and he said fishing. And then sent me this

I find electricity intriguing, but can’t wrap my head around it. I have this vague idea that electrons move along a wire. I get stuck think that it has to be a complete circuit.

What does it really mean when I open an outlet and there are 3 wires?

I think you need hot for the incoming and negative for the outgoing to complete the circuit.

So what does the neutral do?

And then adding ground into the mix and daisy chain addition outlets. Throw in a switch and not you have a single wire? Doesn’t electrons have to flow in the signal wire? Why is that not a complete circuit?

Just got signed up and hopped over from reddit. Hopefully, this community will grow.

The teacher just gave us the equipment and told us to try building it the way it was described in the worksheet. It was my very first build so its not the nicest, cleanest but it worked and we could do measurements at the end. It's a standard single flat three phase panel, each phase 230V and 400V between phases.

I'm a first year industrial electrician apprentice working at our 16 Waterworks for my city.

here's a picture with all the covers mounted.

Our morning safety meeting definitely didn't involve us watching the apprentice look for the wire stretcher.

I came across this in a factory reno and quite frankly, I'm impressed and appalled.

I love to lurk and get lots of good ideas and bad ones from you guys

Electronic racking system; story goes that the previous guys didn't seem to like how it seated, so this was their 'solution.' Yes, those are 4x4s and a bottle jack.

Not my absolute best but this was back when I was a 3rd block, I was quite proud of it and it was my biggest panel to date.
