The 1996 Code revision required that the neutral (white wire) be carried as well and installed on an appropriate three-wire-plus-ground receptacle on new installations and any substantial rework. The reason for this was that many 240V appliances (dryers, ovens, etc) used 120V for some purpose (lights, fan, controllers, etc) and formerly this was accomplished by using one "hot" side and ground. No longer acceptable. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
