Wiring amperage question

[RBM]

clarification : 120 volt bedroom outlet wiring is to be AFCI protected

[Steve Barker LT]

And where does THAT rule come from? and where is "around here"

LOL! Ain't that the truth!

[David Nebenzahl]

RBM spake thus:

You do mean *bathroom*, not bedroom, right?

[Steve Barker LT]

He was correct in what he said. (on new construction only) Although it had nothing to do with the thread.

[Doug Miller]

No, he means bedroom. Perhaps you're reading AFCI and thinking GFCI.

[RBM]

heater + ceiling light + perimeter outlets.<

I&#39;m assuming he&#39;s talking about new construction here

[Chris Friesen]

Rule 30-104(a) in the CEC. Lighting circuits in a dwelling unit must be protected by 15A fuses or breakers.

I&#39;m in Canada.

Around 1953 my parents decided I needed more outlets in my bedroom (I was 6), and my father was not cheap. And after being a bachelor until he was 53, and living in his parents&#39; house, he had plenty of money.

So I presume he hired an electrician and not a handyman. I know the guy did a very neat job.

And what he did is plug a cord into the receptacle in my parents&#39; big closet, drill a hole through the wall into my room, and run the lamp cord from the plug along the baseboard, where he mounted two surface-mount outlets.

We moved when I was 10. I was last inside the house when I was about

1. Next time I&#39;m near there, I&#39;m going to ask if I can come in and look again, and check if the outlets are still working.

I know we never had any problems, but that was when a bedroom was well equipped if it had a lamp and a clock-radio (or a clock and a radio, although wind-up clocks were not uncommon). Of course the radio used more current than now, because it had tubes, but those were the only two things in any of our bedrooms. (Well, my mother had 4 lamps in hers, but that was the only diff.)

Not if it is Al or Al Cu-clad?

What if it is Al Gore?

[Steve Barker LT]

AAAHhhhhhhhhh..

[David Nebenzahl]

Doug Miller spake thus:

Ah, yes: I didn&#39;t even know of the existence of arc-fault circuit interruptors (and I ought to). Thanks for pointing that out to me.

[RayV]

He&#39;s reinventing the Internet.

[mm]

He never said he invented the Internet. It was probably one of Rush Limbaugh&#39;s lies.

[Doug Miller]

True. What he actually said was, "I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Which, of course, was a lie.

No, Gore was the liar there -- and in many other cases, too. Example: he claimed that his mother sang him to sleep as a child using the song "Look for the Union Label" as a lullaby -- but he was already a grown man when the song was written. Another example: he claimed to have spent his youth working on the family farm; truth is he spent a few weekends there.

Try pointing to just *one* lie told by Limbaugh.

[Kram]

I can point to lies told by Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Gandhi, King, the list goes on and on ;)

Wow, this Limbaugh person must be like Jesus, Mohammed, Budda and God all wrapped into one.

You and this Limbaugh person hang around in a rarefied atmosphere with darn special people!

Not like the people I hang around with.

[RBM]

They don&#39;t call him Maha Rushie for nothing

[Kram]

I&#39;ll bet the faithful don&#39;t;)

[RBM]

The faithful call him the "truth detector"

[Doug Miller]

I notice: (a) you snipped everything I wrote about Gore&#39;s lies, and (b) you weren&#39;t able to provide any evidence of Limbaugh&#39;s alleged lies. Odd.
