tec to teck

| Aug 29, 2022 at 3:47 | comment | added | Fresh Codemonger | That's what I thought, I was pretty sure my service cable was a 250 MCM teck cable. | |

| Aug 28, 2022 at 4:09 | comment | added | Armand | Tec cable seems to be way too small for the amps you are talking about. Since you are dealing with underground, outdoor, public accessways, etc, you should have an electrician specify the setup in detail even if you do the work. For example, is the 4" abs you are talking about schedule 80 electrical conduit, or some other abs pipe? Perhaps something like liquidtite would be the way to go, just run through your existing pipe sections. The folks here with serious knowledge will likely weigh in soon. | |

| Aug 27, 2022 at 23:16 | comment | added | Fresh Codemonger | @SolarMike yes they allow you to place things on the city property, the city can just rip them out without asking you. I already re-did the side walk and have 2x4" abs pieces at 22" below grade ready to use. I'll put an irrigation box to coil up the car charging cable when not in use. | |
| Aug 27, 2022 at 22:09 | comment | added | crip659 | With just a 200 amp service, one 90 amp might be a lot, two is probably pushing it. Will depend on how/what you use electricity for. Would be better if you had an all gas heating/cooking setup. | |
| Aug 27, 2022 at 21:06 | comment | added | crip659 | First thing is to see what the city says, and get it in writing. A guy in Ontario wanted to open a pet skunk farm. Talk to province for three years about his plans. Day after he open, province shut down all skunk farms. He sued, he won. | |
