    UL listing for mep 803a or 831a?

The inspector wanted a fuse between gfci and generator for current protection and because the old version of the gfci...

    UL listing for mep 803a or 831a?

    I like the cement idea Where is the in line fuse that protects the gfci box ? It is not on the wiring diagram and I cannot locate it physically. That would solve adding a fuse ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    It seems like a sealed water bottle with big thermal mass would be much harder to cool than a larger open mouthed container i.e. mixing bowl full of water. I'm hoping to use mine to make ice in trays and I expect these would freeze very quickly compared to a sealed item with a certain depth to it.
