    24VDC Control level wire colors.... whatever I want?

    Central USA... 4-circuit control panel for in-house testing, to run timered tests of 240V single phase items up to 2HP... It's OK to use red for (+) and green for (-) on the 24VDC which runs the timer, current sensors, etc., right? As it is in-house and not for others, I can use any color...

    Vibrating reed frequency meter- or alternative?

    I have a fan of diameter 4 ft or so, the outer panel of which is vigorously vibrating, but only in some few installation configurations. I would like to know the frequency of the vibrations that are being observed in order to help devise a solution. I recall seeing little boxes years ago at...

    Is it OK to use a 240V connector body on a 480V line?

    I had the occasion recently to work with a 480V circuit. For a temporary hookup in a University environment, a prior visitor had installed a 240V 20A 3ph +ground female connector body [L15-20] on the 480V cord, which is switched at a fuse/ switch box nearby- perhaps 20 ft of cable. The unit...
