    It has been brought to my attention that my original calculation as provided in the video was incorrect. The correct calculation to find resistance of this circuit is R = E squared/ power (57,600/ 1000). The correct amount of resistance in this circuit is 57.6 ohms, not 120 ohms. I’m not always right and sometimes mistakes are made.

    That's why I use only raintight emt connectors for my own house instead of set screws. I believe it gives a more solid contact and you never have to worry about it coming lose from vibration. I am confident to use the emt as egc and not have to use up my green thhn.

    Looks great! I think I'd have just run my conduit straight into the heater itself and skipped the receptacle/cord/plug. Also that tragic accident just before Thanksgiving of the speeding Bently going airborne into the border crossing in Niagara Falls and exploding when it hit the ground: the driver and his wife were on supposedly on their way to somewhere in Ontario to see the KISS concert there.

    Saw kiss at the Dow Event Center, Saginaw Michigan in August 2016 Freedom to Rock Tour. Been a fan since the early 2000s when I was a teen.
    Never personally installed a baseboard heater, never had the need. Even though 120 volt heaters are available up to 1500 watts, I'd personally frown upon them unless that was my only option, such as a 120 volt subpanel being the most practical to run from since they pull twice the amps for a given wattage making it impossible to add another heater or install a larger unit on the circuit down the road should the need arise.

      Lightly sand like you said then degrease/clean with acetone and a rag, coat with etching primer and wait to dry. Then Zinsser 1-2-3 primer over that, and then your acrylic top coats over that. Rock solid coating.

    Saw them in ‘74 for the first time at The Tower Theater in Upper Darby Pa…probably 300-400 in the audience. They were playing small clubs and colleges, no real airplay yet. Front row seats. We made our own shirts and Gene was fascinated by them. He sat on the stage and talked to the future wife and me for a while after the show, asking all about the shirts. We probably got him going on merch! 😂😂😂
    Just came across the ticket stubs with his fake blood splattered on them along with the original program and I tossed them…my nephew is furious 🤦🏻‍♂️
    Fast forward a year (‘75?) and we were almost crushed to death at the entry doors to the Civic Center in Philly…amazing what a year can do…the band was skyrocketing by then…good times 👍👍

    Minor correction, the ohm value is closer to 58 ohms rather than 120.

    I installed a 12K mini-split unit with pre charged line set which heats and cools and it’s a DIY kit. Works excellent. Not sure if you thought about that.

    Hey Ron great video but I need to find out something, the box where you put in the two wires that is attached to the female twist lock, did you attached the female receptacle to ground screw. I could not see if you did that bonding. Can i assume since you used EMT that's why you didnt run another wire in the EMT? You just used the EMT as the grounding electrode. Let me know your thoughts.

    • @electricalron
      @electricalron  7 місяців тому +1

      It’s not an electrode. It’s an equipment grounding conductor.

    You said you added extra conductors to the heater case? Was the thermostat double pole? I've never had to do that, and have installed thermostats on either side many times. Must be the Stelpro's and Dimplex's cheap-ass single pole thermostats I'm used to!
