[AT] OT electrical question

[Cecil Bearden]

Ken:

Very Interesting!  I had not seen that one.  I have 3 phase power here, 
but nearly everything is run in 2in plastic or 1in EMT since I had it.  
And since I cornered a buy on some 10 ga THHN many years ago, all my 
120V plugs are wired with 10ga wire.   If I could just ge the lights 
wired I would have a decent shop.
