Considering you legally fit 10 - #10THHN conductors in 3/4" Liquidtite, your seven is fine. The rest of your plan seems fine as well. 6/3NM has a #10 ground. Remember, you can ONLY use the NM cable for the inside wiring portion of this circuit.

Well,I really did not want to get involved in this thread seeing as it had been covered nicely. I just really felt the need to address some of the erroneous and dangerous advice give recently. Service grounding (a word I hate by the way) using grounding electrodes DOES NOT "ground" anything...

OK. You are likely looking at the water bond. NOT a service ground.

THIS IS INCORRECT AND UNSAFE ADVICE! Please DO NOT follow it. You are NOT permitted to simply ground a circuit to a near by water pipe. You can use a water pipe in VERY limited circumstances. And "anywhere" does NOT fit this description. Also, an ad on ground bar should NOT be used for...

I'm not sure where you are getting this information Andy. Who says 15 amps? What if he runs 12/2UF? Where did 14" come from? I don't see that anywhere. Buried UF must be 18". Same for PVC conduit. DO NOT run the UF in a conduit system. You can run it through a sleeve for protection...

That is absolutely the wrong attitude to have when it comes to electrical work. What makes "sense" and what may seem over cautious sometimes can be counterproductive. Square is correct. GET A CODE BOOK. Know it. Then come back and give advice. It is not a wise man who gives advice on such...

DEFINITELY asnwer B. As to the ground size. The cable is a factory made assembly. They would not use a ground smaller than would be code required. A #10 ground is adequate for anything you would use #6 circuit conductors for. If you want to look it up see NEC Table 250.122

Once again, an MR-16 IS a normal halogen. Halogen lamps are about 3000-3200K color temperature. MR-16: A miniature reflector lamp that is 16 eighths of an inch wide. The number in the name of a lamp (light bulb) is the physical diameter in eighths of an inch. As for the power...

Put a switch for the disposal in the back splash. I see no reason for a switch for the DW. I would then run a 3-wire down to and install a split wired receptacle under the sink. The switched side for the disp and always on for the DW. Then install a cord and plug for the DW and plug it in...

1) No. Only normal clearances. 30"wX36"deepX78"h 2) No rule with regard to the wood. Either use wood pr spacers to give an air gap. Obviously wood is the better choice. I would mount another piece of wood the same thickness as the main is on right next to the existing.

Define "best light". :confused: MR-16's ARE "normal" halogens.

Good explanation!

The POCO charges you "rent" to use, and for them to maintain, the meter. Also the time it takes to read an extra meter. Since a home theoretically only needs one meter to function of course you will be charged to have a second one in use.

I hate to tell you that what you have done with respect to wiring has NO benefit in wiring a house. That is like saying you pay your bills at home so you can do your own taxes. Related in theory, but not nearly the same thing. It can be done but you need a LOT of help and need to SERIOUSLY...

The label on the door will tell you.

If you use the "3-wire" then yes, this is correct. If you use "2-wire" you use the black and white as your hots connected to the breaker. In this case you must permanently color the white as a hot with a marker, paint, etc, on both ends.

No reason to use a 15 amp breaker. Use a 20 so later if you need to add more heaters you do not have to change the breaker. As I said, you can have up to 3840 watts of electric heat on a 240v-20a circuit.

For your welder #6 is fine. In a residence 6/2NM is what I would use. You do NOT need 6/3 for this. A two-pole 50 amp breaker is correct. Is 30 amps the exact spec (running amps) for the compressor? If so then yes, #8 is good. Again, 8/2NM is what I would use on a 40 amp breaker. At...

First off, you do NOT need 10/3. If you want, or need, a 30 amp circuit then 10/2 is typical for this type of circuit. If all you are feeding is this heater, and even another (up to 3840 watts) then 12/2 is perfectly fine. The #12 will be MUCH easier to work with, believe me. Do you have...

As long as the oven is rated at 12Kw or less you are fine.
