Have a friend who needs one wired and I don't want to put it of ground fault
unless it's required.
Thanks!

Probably not, but where is being installed?

What are the power requirements?


I noticed you list your occupation as 'electrical quality control'.

Does this job involve working with premise wiring systems?

It's being installed in a finished basement.
Power requirements by the namelpate is 16.2 amps @ 120 volts.
It has 2 cords for hook-up so I was planning on 2- 20 amp circuits
one circuit for each cord using a 20 amp duplex receptacle breaking off the tab between the plugs and feeding each with it's own circuit. Also was gonna use a 2 pole 20 amp breaker to feed it so I would be in compliance
with the N.E.C. on multiwire circuits. I just don't want to buy GFI receptacles
or breakers if I don't have to.
As for my name. I work for a company that provides shelters to the cellular
phone industry as well as a lot of electrical utilities. We have shelters in every state in the union as well as 86 countries. I have had hands on experience with generators,UPS systems,fire suppression systems D.C. power
and HVAC systems.


So Larry, To answer your post. If I had TFM I'd have RTFM.

That's correct. I usually say that RTFM means Read The Manual, which usually leads to "what does the F mean?"

My better third usually says that RTFM means Read The Field Manual. It actually may have at some point in time.

TFM - The "Furnished" Manual/Materials
RTFM - Read The "Furnished" Manual/Materials
(You can substitute any word beginning with "F" there)
LMAO - Laughing My Arse Off ~ ROFL - Rolling On Floor Laughing
IMO - In My Opinion ~ or IMHO - In My Humble Opinion
YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary
FWIW - For What It's Worth

I'm sure someone has a link for this type of "shorthand".
