If the lugs are not torqued down to specs (very tight) on the line and load wires within the disconnect, arching and heat will occur and melt wires. You would also want to check the wire connections at the AC unit contactor for proper tightness. It's best to replace the disconnect box and wire whip going to the AC unit. Total cost would be under $100.... well worth the price and peace of mind.
Wow, you seem so knowledgeable - please can you advise with my related issue - to secure my old wobbly shower pipe (thus loose shower-arm) of my 1950s bathtub? It's freaky, because the internal wood-beam that's behind the wall, is to the left of the raw sheetrock-shower-hole where the ascending vertical pipe is. Thus I cannot screw in a Danco shower-arm-stabilizer, as the Danco instructs you to screw in straight-ahead, but the beam is to the left of where the Danco screws would enter. I cannot even unscrew the old shower-arm! Its as if its welded to the pipe! What if i wish to replace it with a new one? I'm aware there's expanding foam, but i'm nervous that foam won't be stable enough to support an 11" arm-extender to which i'd attach a long handheld shower.
Hi minni..... If you were to remove the old shower head, it could be done using a large pipe wrench. However, there is a risk associated with that. You may have a weak thred or pipe which would break. It is not welded, it may be just rust if the pipe is iron, if copper, maybe too much sealant. I am confused, what do you really want to do? secure the shower head?
Unfortunately, a more expensive wood putty is needed. Search for one with the right color match. It can be done, but it may take more time to get it right. Depending on the damage, it may be more cost effective to get a new door, since matching would be challenging.
I don't know. With the service disconnect blakened, we can assume that there was an energy surge. The true cause of this energy surge is not known. Was it due to a loose connection? improper sizing of components, other phenomena?
Animation is very very good - unfortunately - most of the free electrons(negative) /hydrogen atoms (positive) that the sun produces? get scattered by the van Allen belts (and the earths magnetic field). Also? not enough positive charged atoms nor free electrons that exist in the earth (without local depletion fairly quickly) to provide useful electromagnetic 'work' - this experiment was tried - and is still tried to this very day. constantly? USELESS (i'm not saying this is not possible - but we have yet to figure this out, as well as transmitting USEFUL power via wireless - unless you are talking microwaves/optical lasers - but that far more expensive than simple polyphase transmission which is the core of our existence now). When Tesla went down this road? That's when J.P. Morgan was made 'convinced' that Tesla, Like Edison with his Coal 'liquid' refineries were absolute lunatics. I'm not saying either were and i have the most respect for both, as i witness using my computer to write this! It would not have been possible without either of them, or Marconi. The shear genius of Tesla? Marconi - and Edison are the reason we are here today, discussing this!
@@myeasyfixx1205 now that is something i completely agree with! I'm a graduate level EE that thought he knew everything about the universe lol - but then found i knew really nothing about it. We stupidly teach our youth that what we know is a FACT and set in stone. For it surely IS NOT! God Bless!
I want to ask only one question: higher metal plate in picture is copper, but does it must be? Metal roofs are steel, so would that work in regular house?
Any metal will work, but copper is a better conductor. According to Nicola Tesla, the metal must be insulated. That means thwe metal roof must be coated with an insulating material to get the best performance.
Potholer54 just posted an interesting recording of interview of one of the surviving Japanese nuclear scientists that worked there during WW2 on youtube. If you search for potholer54 you can find the video. I'd post the link but have had comments deleted for containing a link before.
Pipe extractor. Exact scenario happened to me yesterday. Went and bought a pipe extractor set from Home Depot for $13. Came out with ease. I was literally thinking worse case scenario, rip down my tiled shower... this was simple. Anyone can do it. Thank you for the guidance.
Not attacking you I'm shielding the poor souls who would come here and believe you blindly without material evidence. By leaving my experimentally tested opinions.
