My generator has 2 110 volt windings. The 220 volt plug has 4 wires, 2 for
each of the two 110 volt windings. All of my 220 volt devices use just 3
wires.
Can I tie the 2 neutrals on the 4 wire plug together for my 3 wire devices?

Does anyone have experience with Dialysis machines?  Since Mrs. Woodrough
passed on we've an expensive unit standing idle in a corner.
A perfect solution would be to use it to filter a large aquarium - does

I hope I'm posting in the right place.
Here's the problem I'm having.  When our electric furnance (its really
an oil/electric hybrid) kicks in, our lights dim and the UPS devices
that are connected to my computers all jump into battery mode and

I have a novice question. I am wiring my basement with 12 Gauge wire
so I can make 20 amp circuits. I have a spot where 4 No. 12 gauge
wires come together. What is the best way to bind together 4 No. 12
wires? Is there a wire nut big enough so I can twist them together?

Is there anyone that have some experience on charging 2 lead batteries (12V)
in series ?
I do not mean the circuit, but if the batteries will be correctly charged or
will they have some long time problem ?

Folks,
Frost Free upright is running too warm (ca -10 to -15C), otherwise it seems
to be running okay.

Hello all,
I hooked up an o-scope to my Honda EU2000 generator and discovered
something interesting about the waveform. Initially the waveform
looked like a regular 60 HZ sine wave.  When I changed the range to

I just got done rewinding the secondary on a simple battery charger. Now it
puts out more amps than the full wave bridge will handle. I am using a radio
shack 25 amp 36 volt full wave bridge and the transformer will put out about
30 or 35 amps. This is the biggest full wave bridge ...

I was thinking of buying some wireless stuff for my laptop, mainly a router
and LAN card. What are your opinions on the three standards (802.11a/b/g)?
I originally planned for "g", but now looking towards "a", any thoughts,
comments, opinions?

Another question for the group;what will happen if I put my power chisel
down my arse and then pull the trigger?

I am trying to find a voice chip that can record a song (not just melody).
Anyone knows where can I find it?
May be there is a company that will record songs on tiny chips, the kind that
can go on greeting cards?

Could somebody please explain the difference between pressure testing and
insulation resistance testing of HV cables.
And how is the pressure testing actually done and what do the results
actually mean ?
