Not much lightening here. LOTS of leftover & ignorant goo in these specs. Like
20 to 30 kW of VAWT's with specs just like the subject of a recent thread on
this list entitled "Wind Scam"
Only the best for the US military!

Not sure about the conduit, but I can chime in about the location. NEC
Article 100 defines damp as those locations protected from weather, and give
as examples under a porch or canopy, or some basements. Wet locations are
those "in unprotected locations exposed to weather." Those conduit runs ar

We got a recent quote of $0.269/ft for black and $0.329/ft for black w/white
stripe #10 in order quantities of 1,000 ft.
It is CPE/XLP rated USE-2 and RHW-2. What do people think of these prices?

We get ours in 10AWG from Allied Wire & Cable in Collegville, PA. It is not
white, but they stripe it white with no trouble - about 3 stripes if I
recall. I can't see why they wouldn't have larger gauges & it is pretty
close to VT.

If it is metal clad cable, then it isn't rated for outdoor applications, but it

My application for #8 and #6 is in conduit from the PV array combiner to the

I think we should be careful in two respects:
(1) We have found black with white stripe for #10 USE-2. Since we have not
had a use for anything larger than #10, I dont know if black with a white
stripe is available for larger gauges. It seems intuitive that black with a
white stripe should ha

I used to have a customer who direct buried his own AL wire with a trencher,

Lessons learned, avoid aluminum, use conduit and don't let the customer

If you do decide to transport them in the aircraft cabin, make sure the

how they are secured and what kind of spill containment is in place. It's

Dump a goodly amount of baking soda on top of, and around the

of pressure change from altitude makes the sealed cap idea not a good one.
