And let's be honest, its not the heat that makes you a good man here. Its the lack of fire watch! I mean, maybe the heat a little bit... ;)

That he did, gave me the inspiration for mine.

If I didnt already have the log cradle, 10" fan, and some other things... thats what I would have done. Lord knows my garage sucks in New England winters trying to wrench on these things. Considering changing up the input wiring or maybe terminating to a locking wall plug, so I can use the load...

I used the kind Farmitall talks about... $20 something each on ebay (I feel like they were less than that, but I dont recall at the moment) is what I see for them now. They have the nice durable shell around them, which allowed in my case to mount them all together. Someday soon I might actually...

Yes three circuits via double pole breakers in the grey load center bolted to the front of the rolling rig. 1 Element EA on the first two 25A circuits, and 2 elements in series on the third 15A circuit. All wired up with 10 gauge. Input cable is 6/3, and the separate grounding cable is 6AWG.

Well I drove the ground rod yesterday and proceeded to give my 803 a nice workout.... performed like a charm. No sheet metal on the load bank yet (in case something wasn't right... I didn't want to be undoing all those self tapping sheet metal screws. I only ran it for an hour or so, but the fan...

I do know I have to stop at Lowes tonight and find a good wire crimper. In working a bit on the internal wiring over the weekend, my basic tool was making real crappy crimps on the .312 connectors. Not a good spot for a poor crimp!

Thanks for confirming. Yeah I intend on bonding N to G with the included screw, and I have a separate 6AWG ground that will be hooked to a rod installed locally to where I test. I am going to be installing a ground from my cluster of elements, to the frame, and from the frame back into the...

Are the prongs on these elements both accepting hot lines, with no neutral being used (for the single element circuits)?

So how are you wiring the other two elements then? I do understand the jumper on the dual element scenario.

Its going to have galvanized panels on all 4 sides of the 'tube'. They go on last after all wiring is done and tested. And yes, two elements on two separate circuits, then 2 wired in series on a third circuit.

I wanted something easily portable... and I had a firewood rack that was doing nothing but growing vines on it. On your setup csheath... did you simply use wire nuts to jump the (2) 120v lines into a single conductor for each element?

Nowhere near done of course, but its starting to take shape. Shots taken before I started the wiring over the weekend.
