This is what was forwarded to me by a guy that does alot of trade show electrical work: Does this plan make any sense to you?
/brian chee <start forward> An L21-20 has three "hot" legs on different phases, a neutral, and a ground. The best way is to get a few of the "doghouses" that the electricans at the LVCC use... For cables, get some 12-5 type SO cable and a plug. Wire the green to the middle terminal, white to the silver one, and the others to the brass terminals. For the box, get a 3 space electrical box, install 3 duplex receptacles (don't use the 49 cent ones, use the $5 ones ("spec grade" or better), connect green to the box and all three green(ground) terminals, the white to the silver-colored screws on the recep's and the black, red, whatever the other color is (usually red or orange), to the brass screws on the recep's. <end forward> University of Hawaii ICS Dept Advanced Network Computing Lab 1680 East West Road, POST rm 311 Honolulu, HI 96822 808-956-5797 voice, 808-956-5175 fax ----- Original Message ----- From: "LinuxDan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 1:57 PM Subject: RE: [luau] any electricians out there? > Brian > I messed with plenty electrical and was an electrician > for a while in the Midwest.
