Whats on your turntable tonight?

Brian,

I was hoping you’d say that!

Im sure you are correct about the ‘further afield’ part. There are numerous houses off the transformer behind me. I know, as when it trips, the whole side of the street, and street behind me, goes dark. Lakewood is a very dense urban community.

Now, my electrician was doing work on my box when running underground to my detached garage about a year and a half ago and shook his head. ‘This ain’t right’. Of course, it’s a 100 year old house with a breaker box, an old fuse box, and an AC unit not hooked-into the panel correctly. One of these days I’ll have the whole box reworked, and think about dedicated lines to the rigs. Some day.

@bkeske I’ve received more varying opinions and seemingly subjective advice and direction from electricians in a field that seems like it should follow harder rules and objective principles.  However, I’m told by folks, who are certainly more knowledgeable than I am, that a dedicated line for your rig should stay separated from everything else and that it’s ground should extend separately all the way to its own ground rod.  

Interesting Brian...

Upon looking at your systems page, seems to be a fairly new housing development.?
