[@MikeEarned]

I'm from Tracy and when I seen the school I was wondering if that was TCE. Then I heard you say you're from Monteagle. Thanks for sharing, I'm fixin to install one in Altamont this week. God Bless!

Yes, that’s TCE and yes I’m currently in Monteagle, but I’m getting ready for the minimalist lifestyle in Tracy.

Thanks gives me an idea of what im in for only difference on mine is a 50 amp 125/250 so im wondering if I hook up the same way or not 😮

[@goldentimez7397]

Because 110 and 110 is a 220 plug i need a 250 plug but im not to sure if that matters or not

[@binaryview6115]

Yes it would, but you don’t have to order yours with the 30 amp. In my opinion it wouldn’t hurt to have both, because cost wise it’s going to be about the same price. Call your local power company and ask what are their requirements for a temporary power pole. My company gave me a diagram in pdf form. Thanks for your comment and good luck.

I know it’s confusing but it’s supposed to be 120 from one leg to the center tap on your transformer. The transformer has two legs(hot) and a tap in the center(neutral) . From any of those legs to the center tap will be or supposed to be 120. From leg to leg you’re going to measure ruffly 240 volts. I’m guessing you haven’t studied electricity and I’m worried that my advice isn’t going help you do your own power pole safely. So, my advice is to either study electricity and get certified or get a certified electrician to guide you through the process or install it for you. Safety first! Thanks for your comment.

Use a 125 panel with a 50 amp breaker to plug.

What about neutral ground bond? Is it needed ?

[@binaryview6115]

Yes, it will be bonded in this panel.

What size wire did you use?

4 awg

[@729Farms]

Is the power coming in from power company or from another panel?

[@binaryview6115]

Power company.

[@729Farms]

What about ground rod?

[@binaryview6115]

I’m only required to have a ground rod 8 feet deep because, I’m in a moist climate. In most cases I think you’ll be required to have two grounding rods at a minimum of 6 feet apart and 8 feet deep.
