Take a look at these: http://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/Wiring_Solutions/Multi-Wire_Connectors,_Heavy-Duty_(ZP-MC_Series)/Size_3A_(3,_4,_5,_7_and_12_Terminals) I've worked with some motors that use these for control.

Any server can be public. I'm going to assume the computer running murmur (the murmur host) doesn't have a public IP address, so you have to forward a port on your router.

Would an electric pallet jack work?

Increased resistance in the 10/3 cable, probably caused by broken strands. You said the cable got excessively hot, not the connector so it's not likely to be loose screws or contacts in the connector.Under what circumstances will a 2.5kw fixture draw 30A at 240V? The NEC permits a 12AWG...

Sounds like they'd be rated for 60°C operation.

What does the 5/8"-27 bolt do for you that the the 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 adapter and a 3/8" bolt don't?You could buy a 5/8"-27 die from mcmaster-carr if you really must have the bolt.

So buying Chinese fixtures works for you. Fine. It doesn't work for others, for whatever reason. Also fine.This thread doesn't seem to be productive anymore. Can we end the flamewar? Buy the hardware that's suitable for your application, and on with your life.

Water-cooled extension cables?

The broken edge does look like OSB.If I load a 4x8 sheet (of anything) 7/16" thick to 50 psf, and simply support it by the long edges, without any intermediate support, I calculate the maximum stress to be 3128 PSI which is unacceptably high for wood. At 125 psf, the stress is 7819 PSI.If...

Why did this even come up? Dimmers that appear in residential construction seem to only be listed to feed permanently installed fixtures, not outlets, so this should be a question of enforcing an existing product's listing.

Point 16: I'd use these instead of trailer lights. LED | AutomationDirect.com They are available in incandescent (if you want that for some reason) and LED, in both 24V and 120V. The 24V indicators also work quite well at 12V. They can mount in a standard 1/2" KO. They look like this (the...

This sounds like a solution that is 99% AI and 1% mixing.

I've used the XLS DriveCore series in a few systems with no trouble. They weigh next to nothing (compared to the older amps with linear power supplies) and seem to put out very little heat.I think the XLS 1500 is excessive for your application: it's rated 300W/8ohms in dual mode. The EV7100 is...

Voltage drop could be an issue. Your AHJ also might take issue with components that aren't UL listed.

Your $38 gets you one extension: It gets me over 50 feet of 1/2" threaded rod (Not from home depot).PowerStrut's 1/2" threaded rod has a root area of 0.126in^2, and a yield stress of 32 000PSI. A 10:1 safety factor thus allows a working load of 403lbs. At that load, a cast c-clamp or the...
