The Lighthouse (Part 4) High Voltage
"Hi there. Glad you stopped by again."
While going over the plans for the Lighthouse, I discovered that the light beacon, requires some pretty high voltage. This requires a trip to the Electric Supply House.
"The supply house had every thing we needed. A switch box and heavy duty conduit. Due to the high voltages involved, the equipment must be painted red."
"I'm as far as we can go, until we are actually ready to fire up the beacon. The conduit is in place and the switch box is wired Once the beacon is installed, we'll have the Power Company supply us with power and we'll test the operation.
One last thing for today. The High Voltage Sign that is required by building code.
