[RE-wrenches] roof sheathing attachment

2013-11-19 Thread Mac Lewis
Hello wrenches, I have an application that I am considering finding a mounting system that attaches to the roof deck only. Does anyone have experience with this type of mounting solution? Does anyone have a favorite product for roof sheathing attachment to a metal roof? Thanks -- Mac

Hi All – On a related note, I’ve become good friends with some of the inspectors in San Francisco and they called me yesterday with a question. Is it okay to run *individual* DC conductors through EMT for wire management purposes? We have always run paired positive and negative conductors in

August, Timely question. I am working with a TenK solar array right now and the wire management from TenK is poor. From the combiner to the inverter they have #2 CU in free air. It looks ugly. The inverter won't allow for one raceway with both conductors plus ground. If each could be installed

Hi August, The handbook has a note regarding this under 690.31(B): . Long runs of separated conductors (with loop inductance and distributed capacitance) and the resulting long-time constants in dc circuits may result in improper operation of overcurrent devices. It is suggested that,

I'm not clear on the specific situation the inspector was speaking about - it could have been inter-module conductors under the array or it could have been between an array and remote junction box. It sounds like generally speaking they should be run together. -August *From:*
