Black White Pumps

On a pump should the neutral (white) be shorted to the power wires (black and red).?

I kept blowing a 20A fuse and when i disconnect the pump from the circuit board of my jacuzzi it doesnt blow. So, i got out my trusty multi-meter and found that white was shorted to the black and red (when disconnected from the circuit board). I dont work with neutral just normal groun so im kinda scratching my head. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The only colors of insulation allowed by the NEC for the grounded conductor (“neutral”) of an electrical system are white or gray.

The grounded conductor shall never be switched, or be installed so that it is protected by the Overcurrent Protection Device (Circuit Breaker or Fuse).

The only color allowed for an equipment grounding conductor is green, or in some cases, bare copper. If your house is wired with Type NM cable, the grounding conductor will be bare copper. In some cases, the conductors of a cable system (Types NM, AC, and MC, for example) are allowed to be reidentified.

NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES just randomly decide to increase the ampacity of a circuit breaker or fuse. This is almost always illegal, and almost always results in the overcurrent device not opening when it is supposed to. This allows the conductors to overheat, which leads to making the local firefighters leave the table in the middle of a meal in order to save the life and property of someone who listened to bad advice.

If you live in the USA, the pump motor shall be listed [NEC 110.3(B)] to US Standards, and should have a label from a Nationally Recognized Testing Lab (NRTL) placed on it somewhere where it is clearly visible. (This does NOT include a listing mark from CSA, or TUV, unless it is followed by the letters “US”.) If you live in Canada, the same applies; you should see a CSA Mark, or the Mark “UL-Canada”, or “UL-C”.

Most GFCI protective devices do not function when two circuits “share” a “neutral” (really, it is the GROUNDED conductor). When a three wire “network” is used, the grounded conductor must be installed in such a manner that removal of a device from the circuit will not disconnect the “neutral” conductor. This will cause the rest of the devices on both circuits to suddenly be supplied with 240 Volts; not a good or safe situation. All hydromassage tubs require GFCI protection, if the motor is labeled “Double Insulated”, it may not require bonding to the (metallic) water lines; but, if there is a bonding lug on the pump, use it (with a copper conductor not smaller than #8 AWG) anytime you have the tub installed with metallic water lines. Use a listed clamp to bond the conductor to the water line, and install it correctly.

The grounded conductor is always carrying some amount of current, whenever the circuit is being used. It is the “path” that the current uses to return to its source (the panel or load center). I don’t know of an electrician who has never been shocked from a grounded conductor. The Equipment Grounding Conductor should only carry current in a fault situation. This can be a conductor in the cable assembly, or the metal raceway the conductors are installed in.

Get out the Manufacturer’s Installation Instructions and see if the motor is 120 or 240 Volts (240 does not require GFCI protection). Chances are, it is 120 Volts, with another 20 Amp circuit required for a heater or other accessory. Whoever wired the thing was: A) a little short on knowledge, B) trying to save a few bucks on materials, C) a victim of the public school system who never learned how to read, or D) all of the above.
Have the tub checked over by a qualified, licensed electrical contractor. If he can’t fix it, have the manufacturer send out a factory tech; hopefully having had the unit miswired won’t have done any damage that will cause the warranty to be voided.

You didn’t say if this was a new house. I assumed it was. If the house is old enough to have an ungrounded electrical system, a separate Equipment Grounding Conductor must be run back to the panel, and be grounded in accordance with all of the provisions of NEC Article 250. Without that grounding path, the GFCI will not provide an “equipment ground”.

Of course you can, and no, it will not look gross. In fact you can wear pantyhose with just about anything. Don't listen to the so called fashion experts, they have got it all wrong in the first place. Apart from that, pantyhose always looks better than bare legs or feet, so go ahead and don't be deterred by the current trend of pantyhose bashing.

How to measure high heel pumps?

I ordered for myself high heel pumps. It supposed to be size 9, but runs much lower. How do I measure it right, so I can resell it? I would return it, but I hate loosing money on shipping.

Your shoe size in a high heeled pump should be the same shoe size you wear in any other shoe--the manufacturer should be the one compensating for the foot shifting forward because the heel is raised, narrow or pointy toes, etc.

If the pair you want to order is known to "run small" (I think that's what you mean by "runs much lower"?) so your regular size will be too tight, order up a half size. If they do not fit, you have the option of returning the shoes or selling them to someone else for whatever price you can get.

I Order Shoes Online only at sites that offer free shipping and free returns, like shoes.com and zappos.com.

Butterfly tattoos are so cute and very popular among females of all ages. There's no one to say that a man can't wear one, but if or when they do, the butterflies are often apart of another piece. Female tattoo wearers can get away with wearing a single butterfly tattoo design unlike men. Butterfly tattoo designs are versatile enough to integrate with other pieces and design elements so both men and women can wear them.

There are several very sexy spots that angel tattoos can be placed on a female's body. Here are some ideas for you to consider:

The Ankle

This is a sexy spot if you wear flat sandals or strappy high-heeled sandals; even a low-cut bootie or sneaker would show off a butterfly tattoo in a very sexy way. You can have group of butterflies floating up and around your ankle bone or a single butterfly with its wings spread. For a different look, you can have a butterfly drawn from the side perched on a flower or blade of grass. The tattoo can be a detailed line drawings or solid and simple. This area obviously isn't that big so the tattoo will be fitted accordingly.

The Top of the Foot

Similar to the ankle, you can have a butterfly tattoo design that curves around your instep. These types of designs look cute with flip flops, t-strap sandals both high and low, and low-cut pumps or ballet flats. Mary Jane styles would cut across the design so you wouldn't want to wear them. You have to be careful with t-straps because you don't want them to interfere with the art. Every girl loves shoe shopping so you'll have fun finding the right style for our foot tattoo.

I hope you consider these fashion tips when getting a butterfly tattoo on or around our foot. Nothing would suck worse than having a beautiful tattoo and no shoes to showcase it.
