I presume you're asking about a receptacle that can be used for servicing the equipment.

NEC 210.63 requires that at least one 120 volt 15 amp or 20 amp receptacle be within 25' of an HVAC unit that is located outside.

Thanks for the reply, I thought it as 25’ but wanted to be sure.

Hi, I am looking for a 3/8 inch diameter SPST screw terminal toggle switch or push button switch to mount on my oven's range hood, to replace a similar switch, which is broken. Only finding half inch diameter (standard) switches in hardware stores and online. Where can I find such a switch ? Thanks, Vacman Read More

Is it normal for lights to get brighter when a heavy load turns off?

I'm currently in a rehab facility (Don't worry it is not for substance abuse) and their main AC broke so they installed crappy single hose [url=https://www.homedepot.com/p/AIREMAX-115V-14-000-BTU-ASHRAE-8-000-BTU-DOE-Portable-Air-Conditioner-with-Remote-24H-Timer-Dehumidifier-Wheels-LED-APE508CH/322011303]portable[/url] units (better than nothing I suppose) in the patient rooms. They are doing OK however I have been noticing the lights getting brighter for a second or so after the compressor shuts off either by the thermostat or the main power button being pressed is this normal or to be expected when a heavy load shuts off? I believe they have three phase service with most convenience receptacles being NEMA 5-20R's and a few 6-20R's in the hallway for the old floor machines (No longer used as they have battery machines now) They also have some red generator backup receptacles scattered across the facility as well as in the patient rooms. This is just an I'm curious question as even if it is a problem I can't do anything about it as I'm not an electrician or a worker here just a patient Anyway Thank You in advance for any insight [img]https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.doityourselft.com-vbulletin/1280x1981/ac_c1c279bead24b9ceee53fae414c8735678460237.jpg[/img] [i]AC Data label[/i] Read More
