  • Mr. Worm Doodle's Bonding vs. grounding question?

    The only time this issue will come into play is on a polarity sensitive piece of equipment like a newer furnace. If you have concerns then an electrical inspection needs to be preformed. They make a tester that plugs into an outlet that test for proper grounding but is really a useless test because it can be tricked easily by tying a wire from the common side to the ground screw. I have seen people in the past that would bond to the duct work and then when I get there it shocks the pee out of me. The National Electric Code requires neutrals to be bonded to the electrical panel and then the grounds to the ground. A ground is a ground but they do have different roles so we keep them separate so we know what is what. Your outlets are grounded because they are working the only difference is code. You can help protect yourself by making sure a ground is grounded that way if something does go wrong it's going to take the shortest path to ground so grounding to a piece of duct work is metal but if it's not to the earth ground then all you have done is create another hazard. I know it happens more often than you think.

    And I hope the community will overlook this form of answering just not sure how to try and better inform someone over an electrical question. Hope this helps Mr Doodle.

  • Looking for help with making fudge?

    I enjoy making fudge but no two are the same. I get a batch and is grainy and the next batch will be semi smooth. I have tried cooking without stirring and with stirring. Waiting until the batch cools down before adding other ingredients or adding as soon as it comes off the fire but I cannot get any two batches to come out the same. Can someone help me figure out what I might be doing wrong. I know it is all about crystallization of the sugar and if any starts it can effect the whole batch so that's why I don't stir and I wash the sides down but the bottom will scorch. I really would like to make a smooooooth fudge more than once.

  • How many electricians know the answer to this question?

    A answer was given to a heating question earlier that said if you change your filters more often you keep the fan motor from dragging and in return cheaper utilities. So my question is this If you block the air off from the indoor fan motor will it increase the amp draw causing more power to be consumed or will it drop the amp draw giving you cheaper utilities? Again if you let the filter get stopped up will it increase the load or decrease the load on the fan motor?

  • So what would be the outcome of this nation going bankrupt?

    We keep writing checks we cannot back up, we print more and more money and soon will be broke as a nation. Can WE pull out of it by ourselves or will we go running to the united nations? And if so should I become used to a new currancy.
