At night I lie awake and think of all the creative ways that 3/4" still can be enough lol.175' of buried conduit that I should have gone a size up on.
Thinking large culvert style big enough to crawl through yourself. Just in case.... Also good bugout escape tunnel dual use.At night I lie awake and think of all the creative ways that 3/4" still can be enough lol.
Held on by the cable?Forgot the last two tie downs on my sinclair rack, don't remember how/why (other than being in a rush), more than a few wind storms everything was fine, finally after one winter time high wind storm (tho no snow...), noticed the following after seeing reduced power on one string
In seriousness though if one was to build a power house in the backyard to avoid risk of catastrophic fire, I'm thinking connect to the house via a 240/50A inlet and transfer switch by the grid meter, like if I was hooking up a portable generator. Then the only potential UL code requirement in the house would be the transfer switch/method. Could even do an interlock on the main panel. My big loads are all propane except central AC and that's only 2 tons. But then for the grid input to the inverters...another 240/50A in the other direction, from house to powerhouse.
If the powerhouse was in a trailer....nothing for code enforcement to get their panties in a twist about

That’s what I did except a little bigger. 240vac 100 amp.e, I'm thinking connect to the house via a 240/50A inlet and transfer switch by the grid meter, like if I was hooking up a portable generator. Then the only potential UL code requirement in the house would be the transfer switch/method.
I always wondered what this would look like. That sure is unfortunate.I was rushing tightening busbars with an un insulated ratchet and I created a major short.
Dang it. That's it. Class Ts as bus bars.I was rushing tightening busbars with an un insulated ratchet and I created a major short.
It scared the crap out of me and I dropped the wrench. The short didn't stop. Sparks were flying like someone was welding the top of my battery.
I reached in a grabbed the wrench and it stopped. The wrench and one cell were destroyed.
The fuse didn't blow. You can still have one hell of a fire creating short even if you have a class T fuse.
