the job was $300 in parts and $500 in labor. Those locking plugs and receptacles are not cheap, plus I needed an extension cord, so I can run the brewer outside. That service operating cable (really nice and flexible, not like romex) was $50 alone. I also had a couple new 120v circuits ran in...

was originally trying to save a couple bucks with a multi-use outlet, but electrician stated that motors will often do not play nice with GFCI. I had the electrical work done last week. Electrician did the 240v 30amp GFCI outlet for the brewer with the GFCI breaker that was pointed out from...

FWIW, this is what Anvil is sending out to support inquiries. I obviously don't know how to read this, as I asked if you still use the pigtail from the GFCI breaker and the answer was no (but it sure looks like in the diagram the neutral is hooked up). So I'm just going to pass this along to...

Was just reading a post on the Anvil FB group and it was mentioned (I thunk if I understood it correctly) that without a neutral in the receptacle, there would be no gfci protection. Is that correct? The only 4 wire 240v receptacle seem to be the bigger dryer/appliance type. The smaller l6-30...

Receptacle is going right next to breaker (same as my EV circuit) so only need a foot or two of wire, thankfully.

yeah, I can imagine that would be frustrating if you were trying to use a tool and it kept tripping.

thanks! I have been googling high and low for that part number, I'm not sure why ebay doesn't come up. I know I've seen a lot of refurbished units so I've been a bit weary of some of the smaller, less known sellers. But that ebay seller seems to have a good rating.

Table saw and bandsaw are both definitely 240v 3hp motors. I havent used them in years but would like to start again so i wanted to size the circuit to make sure i could use them here in our new house No need for a welder for what i do. Nobody has really mentioned the inline gfci (why i...

Good Q, I was trying to be flexible for the future. I also have a 10" cabinet table saw, specs say 13amp at full draw but then lists 15amp as the min circuit size. ALso a 16" bandsaw which might even be more but I need to verify. I did start looking at 20amp breakers and those seemed just as...

I do wish! From my research, Eaton has BR and CH type panels. Mine is CH type that takes 3/4" wide breakers. The cheaper one you linked (and believe me, I saw it earlier and was excited) is the 1" wide BR series from everything I can see on that page. thank you though!

Need to get my new Foundry wired up. I have been looking at GFCI breakers for my panel and apparently the GFCI breaker is about $140. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ECKLKBM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1QRT0RAXAWMKI&psc=1 Panel is Eaton CH type. I see there are also inline GFCI's which...

I just picked up a new Anvil Foundry 10.5 with a 6-15p 240v plug. I was planning to use my existing 14-50 outlet (that my PHEV charger is plugged into) with one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HX9JCC4/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=A1UO2GJ291VXKR&psc=1 however, I'm getting...

I picked up the fridge this weekend and the InkBird 308 wireless arrived this am. I just got back from Ace Hardware to get some additional things and just wanted to check before I started wiring up. 1. I pulled lightly on the black and white connections on the board. These should come off...

The one I was looking at lists a range of 32-60. So if I was ok fermenting at a max of 60, the fridge thermostat would be ok, but anything higher and I'd need the Ink Bird. Makes sense - thanks.

Hi all, I am considering picking up a beverage center to help control fermentation temps for my SS Brewbucket. I'm sure there are advantages to using an Ink Bird but I was curious exactly what they were. What do you gain by using a temp controller versus the one in the fridge?
