EV's now more expensive in time and money to refuel than ICE vehicles

[Into the Night]

Toss in depending on the jurisdiction, you may have to get a permit and have it inspected...

Oh...he's not planning on doing any of that!

 

[Into the Night]

It answered type of wire.
It answered size of wire for 40 amp and 50 amp circuits.
It answered color of wires.
It answered which color goes where when attaching to the outlet.

Could someone that has no experience with a screwdriver go from there? Probably not but the answers are easy to find online about how to turn off breakers and install new breakers. It all comes down to how comfortable one is with doing the install.

As to getting a permit, the city engineer will often give resources to find the needed information since the city has a vested interest in the work being done properly.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
How naive!

If you're wiring a gas hot water heater, you already have a problem

Nice demonstration of his cluelessness.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

I've had to do just that for some computers, right along with their associated wiring. It's more of a problem with EVs.

LOL.. You had to redo 120v circuits simply because of your new computer that pulls less than 3 amps?
I don't think the problem was because you got a new computer.

I would love to see pictures of that. You do love to prove you are an idiot over and over and over.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Google isn't the electrical code!

I never said it was. How many electricians do you know that keep a copy of the electrical code with them? No one looks at the NEC code book on a regular basis. The tables and code requirements found in the code book are found all over the internet.

I bought my first copy of the NEC code book in 1985. When did you buy yours?

 

[Into the Night]

LOL. You seem to want to run off in every direction with your head cut off.
I never said a city engineer would give you advice on how to make the connections. Read my statement again and see if you can understand simple English.

Yes you did. Don't deny your own posts. ANYONE can go back and look at them!

(Telling you to talk to an electrician would be considered giving you a resource.)

Nope. Not a resource. You clearly stated the city engineer would help you wire up your own circuit. Don't try to dodge or evade. Don't try to deny your own posts!

I clearly stated my link didn't answer every question. I merely pointed out that I found the answer to most of your questions in 30 seconds and just about any other answers could be found within 10 minutes.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You blew it! Google is NOT the electrical code!

As to whether I need a 3 wire or a 4 wire circuit, I would be able to tell that from the NEMA plug on the device I am wiring for. The NEMA plug would inform me as to what NEMA receptacle was needed. Are you incapable of counting the prongs on a plug? Most 6 year olds in my part of the world can do that.

...and now you are ignoring his point again.

The picture that shows wiring diagrams for multiple NEMA receptacles does not state you can install multiple ones on a single circuit. It seems English is hard for you since it clearly states, Illustration only shows how to connect wires to XYWG terminals.

There's a hell of a lot more than that to wiring any electrical circuit!

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
How naive!

Since you are so smart, point to one thing on that page that violates the NEC when it comes to wire type, size, and color. Let's see how stupid you really are Into the Night.

 

[Into the Night]

LOL.. You had to redo 120v circuits simply because of your new computer that pulls less than 3 amps?

The computer pulled a lot more then 3 amps!

I don't think the problem was because you got a new computer.

It was BECAUSE a new computer was installed I had to rewire it's supply, dumbass! The new computer required a 240v supply.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Yes you did. Don't deny your own posts. ANYONE can go back and look at them!

Nope. Not a resource. You clearly stated the city engineer would help you wire up your own circuit. Don't try to dodge or evade. Don't try to deny your own posts!

Provide the quote where I said the city engineer would help you wire a circuit. You are a complete moron. You will not be able to provide any such quote.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You blew it! Google is NOT the electrical code!

Nice straw man. I never said google was the electrical code. I said one could use google to find almost all the answers to the questions that were raised. The answers I linked to are within the NEC. You can not point to one thing that is in violation of the NEC.

I do love your claim that an electrician is not a resource. Did you think of that all by yourself when you were hitting your head with a hammer? Next you will be telling us that plumbers aren't resources and that psychiatric care isn't a resource.

...and now you are ignoring his point again.

There's a hell of a lot more than that to wiring any electrical circuit!

Then tell us about your experiences. Did you accidentally stab yourself multiple times with the screwdriver? Did you wrap the wire around your neck cutting off oxygen to your brain for more than 10 minutes? That would explain your current stupidity.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How much did you pay for it??? $7??

This is 2023, dumbass!

 

[Into the Night]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So you REALLY going to try to deny your own post! I don't need to quote you. ANYONE can go look for themselves!

Nice straw man. I never said google was the electrical code. I said one could use google to find almost all the answers to the questions that were raised.

You treated it like the code, moron. BTW, Google is a proper noun. It is capitalized. You also never answered all the questions that were raised. Indeed, your own myopia and illiteracy led you astray for all to see.

The answers I linked to are within the NEC. You can not point to one thing that is in violation of the NEC.

You don't have a copy of the NEC.

I do love your claim that an electrician is not a resource.

Word stuffing. YOU claimed that a permit engineer telling to hire an electrician is a resource. It isn't.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

The computer pulled a lot more then 3 amps!

It was BECAUSE a new computer was installed I had to rewire it's supply, dumbass! The new computer required a 240v supply.

Now I am curious as to the specs of this alleged computer. Care to provide any evidence that you needed 240v for a simple computer?

 

[Into the Night]

Since you are so smart, point to one thing on that page that violates the NEC when it comes to wire type, size, and color. Let's see how stupid you really are Into the Night.

You never answered any of those questions. You just said you looked them up on Google. How naive!

 

[Into the Night]

Now I am curious as to the specs of this alleged computer. Care to provide any evidence that you needed 240v for a simple computer?

Hardly a simple computer! An older one, certainly. Obviously, your idea of a computer is extremely limited.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So you REALLY going to try to deny your own post! I don't need to quote you. ANYONE can go look for themselves!

Yes. Anyone can go look and see that you are the lying piece of shit you act like.
This is what I said
As to getting a permit, the city engineer will often give resources to find the needed information since the city has a vested interest in the work being done properly.
How you thought that meant the city engineer would wire the device is beyond me.

You treated it like the code, moron. BTW, Google is a proper noun. It is capitalized. You also never answered all the questions that were raised. Indeed, your own myopia and illiteracy led you astray for all to see.

ROFLMAO... So if the internet says you need to use 6g wire for a 50amp circuit and the NEC says you need to use 6g wire for a 50amp circuit, then is someone not following code if they use 6g wire for a 50amp circuit? Your argument is so full of shit, you must love the smell.

You don't have a copy of the NEC.

ROFLMAO.. and you don't have a brain. I guess that makes us equal.
I have had several copies over the years since they get updated every few years.

Word stuffing. YOU claimed that a permit engineer telling to hire an electrician is a resource. It isn't.

Head up your ass! It seems to be your normal position.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Hardly a simple computer! An older one, certainly. Obviously, your idea of a computer is extremely limited.

So you can't provide specs for this computer? You can't even tell us what the power requirements are? So you just wired it without any of that information?

 

[Saint Guinefort]

You are describing yourself, Dutch Perry.

LOL. YOU referred to yourself as "he". That's a huge red flag. EVERYONE can see it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Still trying to deny your own post, eh? You even QUOTED it to deny it! No, a 6g wire may not be sufficient for a 50A circuit. They might not be following code. It's also more than just the wire, dumbass. It is obvious you never read the code.
