Re: Power distribution, was: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Is it "220" or "240"?

Donald"Now gone?" that's really funny!? Even professional electricians still call it the "Edison three wire system."? See:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl35KT64g2g Might as well to try to

Good luck with the S-20R, they are actually good receivers. I bought one, supposedly restored, several years ago and found that while it worked the restorer had done a pretty crude job, so it did

A fascinating list, I didn't realize there were so many. Many years ago I went on a tour given of the Sylmar station of the Pacific Intertie. It was fascinating. It looked like the set for a very

Let¡¯s try to make peace with AC and DC power this way -- Low voltage DC transmission is impractical. High voltage DC transmission works great since there is no ¡°Crest Factor¡± to deal with. In

Re: Power distribution, was: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Long range DC distribution is not practical as we have proven many times over Under the Edison system EVERY block in New York had to have its own generator as running the DC more than a block was to

Just pointing out that is it no longer called the Edison system Any relation to Edison is now gone so stop calling it that The only Edison we have kept is his light bulb screw and it

Re: Power distribution, was: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
No, I read it correctly.? You are proposing a distinction without a difference.? The Edison system was developed to reduce the number of conductors and the cost in a power distribution system, a

Hi Jim, I would copy what I see on Wiki-p , but I will just mention that I see some critical punctuation in there. Others should look for themselves. Sent: Friday, January 10, 2025 10:25 AM To:

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
You did not read that right It is similar but not the Edison system - the one we use is SIMILAR to the Edison split DC system! A *split-phase* or *single-phase three-wire* system is a type of

Yes, it is known as the Edison split phase system, see:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power#:~:text=A%20split-phase%20or%20single,-wire%20direct-current%20system.JimLogic: Method

"Edison" split phase system? Edison fought the AC system - he was the DC guy Grounding and where neutral and ground interconnect depends on where the main (i.e. first) panel is located. After that

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Leon, RE you should CHECK AND INSPECT it from time to time Check IT the neutral only ? or IT the local grounding only ? ¡­ as far the neutral is concerned, how do you go about testing it
