Wow! So when you start a restoration like this, do you kinda assume you’re going to find some ugliness at the weld-points until you get things cleaned off or is it just a wildcard per aircraft job?
Today, just in time for Mrs. Bugs birthday, got the hot tub online. Of course, after having to rework all of the wiring that I had done starting at the GFI spa breaker………
I will be the first to admit that there are a couple things I defer to the experts. Transmissions(I’m learning), carburetors (pixi dust and magic), and home electrical(because it could burn your house down). In the case of the hot tub, wanting to convert from 110V to 229V and after having the electrical done(not me), I throw the breaker expecting sunshine, butterflies and puppies, only to be disappointed by the GFI breaker immediately tripping………… BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
So last night, I spent several hours trying to un-phuc what was done before me. I am happy to say, I figured it out and did was done incorrectly.
I discovered that the neutral line from the load was not connected to the breaker itself but rather the neutral bus not to mention the crappy connection. Needless to say, all wiring was gutted, cleaned up and securely fitted.
WTH?!?!?
This is where the neutral was suppose to go….
I will admit, due to the connection angle of the neutral the breaker has to be pulled from the box.
Bottom line, everything was done correctly and I even ran a 110v line for a future outlet in the future and the tub fired up as designed. Learned something new so it was a win win and also the reason I attempt to do as much as I can myself.
Cheers
