Article Illustration 3/5/07
Dear Bob,
I have a quick question. I was reading your article on GFCIs, electricity, and
the Aquarium Garden
(http://www.wetwebmedia.com/PlantedTksSubWebIndex/gfiuseag.htm). In
the article, you mention two illustrations: one for the duplex outlets and one
for an idea to conform with the National Electric Code.
<Yes... and I see the graphics are AWOL>
However, neither illustration is present in the article. They're not in the
source page, either. Are they perhaps present in a different place on your
website?
<Mmm, one is here:
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/gfcimarines.htm>
I understand that there is a LOT with this website, but I would be very
interested in the illustration of conforming.
Thank you for your time and what you do for this hobby,
Celeste
<Thank you for this... will look for t'other. BobF>
<Found a copy (analog) of the other graphic... but no ding dang flat-bed
scanner... maybe I can fax it to my desktop... B... Maybe send the fax to
someone on the Crew... and they can open e'... cropped and send back graphic?>
Plug-in GFCI
Hi Bob,
Just read about plug-in GFCI's on http://www.wetwebmedia.com/PlantedTksSubWebIndex/gfiuseag.htm
I've called every electrical supplier in San Jose, and none have even heard of
plug-in GFCI's. Do you have the name of a manufacturer of same?
Thanks, Frank Kirby
<Woods makes one as well as several other manufacturers. Try Home Depot,
Loews, etc. Craig>
GFI
Read your article about GFI, or GFCI as Leviton calls the unit I just
purchased, on Wet Web Media but on my computer the illustration of the
arrangement of a service switch, GFI duplex outlet & time clock did not
appear.
<Have fixed, placed the graphic on WWM, and attached here.>
Would you send it to me via email with the hopes that will duplicate here or can
you tell me where to get a like illustration.
I have read elsewhere of installing a titanium wire from the tank water to a
ground such as a water pipe as additional protection to a GFI. To your knowledge
is this true or is it overkill due to a thought surge?
<Such grounds are a good idea if/when working with much amperage... The GFI/GFCI
should provide sufficient protection in your case. Bob Fenner>
