Installing 3 Split Receptacles

I have a single receptacle with 12/2 on a GFI (20 amp). I ran a 3 wire (14 gauge) to my other two receptacles and put a tandem breaker in the panel. Should I wire the receptacles as single receptacles on individual GFI's or split receptacles? They are more than a meter away from the sink. Also I have read the two 15 amp circuits should be on separate phases? How do I insure this?  Thanks gentlemen!
      

Hi all! 



I'm trying to install an outdoor box for my low voltage lighting controller unit.  I have an electrical junction box that's split from indoors and leads to a post lamp.  I'm wondering how I split this junction box off to a simple 110 receptical for my outdoor lighting controller.  I've attached a picture just in case I didn't explain well.  Thank everyone for the help!!!




      

Need a little advice... Here's the scenario:



-200 amp meter/main.

-2 small side by side residences with 80 amp load each.

-Each residence has a 200 amp panel with main disconnect.

-1 3" conduit from meter to underground pull box between both buildings

-A 2" conduit from the pull box to each building.

-All conductors to be 3/0



Is there any reason why a 3/0 feeder with ground could not be pulled to the

pull box and then split to run to each building instead of running 2 separate 100 amp feeders? Any other things to consider?
      

i have just installed 4 cans controlled by a dimmer switch using 14/2 wire and plan to hook into a 15A circuit. The easiest wire for me to hook into this circuit is on the load side of a receptacle that goes to another receptacle. can I cut the wire that goes between receptacles and split the hot wire so it goes to the new recessed cans ( same for the white wire) and then on to the receptacle as previous?

Thanks

I am selling my house and the Home Inspector said that the basement surfaced mounted receptacles needed to be in conduit because the wires were exposed.  He didnt say anything about the exposed wiring that was stapled to the bottom of the joists had to be in conduit.  Can I just leave the exposed wires on the joist exposed or do I have to but them in conduit too?  Could I also just drill the joists out and run the wire inside them?  Is there a code about this?  Did the Home Inspector forget this?   What would happen if I only fixed the receptacles with conduit and nothing else?  Thanks In Advance!
      

Hi, I have a 6" craftsmans metal cutting lathe and trying to wire a drum switch to it. The motor is a 1/3 hp westinghouse split phase motor 6.3 amp 1725 rpm. The switch is forward-off-reverse. There are two posts and two wires on the motor I'm not sure witch ones are start or run and how to go about wiring it there are 6 screws on the switch.I could probly post pics to someone  Thanks
      

Hello everybody! First things first..I don't know much about wiring besides there being a positive, negative and a ground.



I am in the process of gathering information about installing two lights on the soffit of the corners of my house. There is an outside light by the sliding glass door that I was going to tap into for power, since the switch for it is in the kitchen.



My question is will this be possible if I was to run two twin head flood lights off of the same switch.   (  http://www.lampsplus.com/products/br...ht__h9572.html   )





What would be the easiest way to run the wiring for this? Through the soffit or just through the attic? The problem with the attic is there is vaulted ceilings in a few rooms of my house so it is pretty much impossible to walk in the attic to the far side of my house...actually I don't even think it is possible with the amount of insulation and how the ceilings are.



How would I go about mounting the light to the soffit? A junction box? Will I have to run conduit?



Here is a picture of what I am trying to do. Excuse my art skills in paint.





Thank you!
      

I know this is beating a dead horse but I feel like I need some clarification. I will be installing a NEMA 6-50R Receptacle for a welder in my garage and I have figured out that I will not need the neutral from reading other posts here.  But do I need to ground the receptacle box?  I am using a metal Raco box.
      

If I'm reading my instruction sheet correctly my QO 15A CAIF it will trip instantly for a shared neutral. Does that mean that I am not allowed to use it to feed 1/2 of a MWBC?
      

I want to put switch in house to control lights in garage.  How do i run romex from garage through drywall into house?  Do i need to use conduit to secure wire.  Thanks
