ISB Sola Basic Corrector de Voltaje

Great post and right on the point. How many people can I find on Craigslist who say they are licensed and for a few bucks will do anything I ask and that's in the U.S.

Here in Mexico we've done just about everything that it says you're not supposed to. I use an extension cord with out a male end, two open wires and hang them on the fuses in the box for the well in the front yard. Works great.

When we built our house in Monterrey we had to wait (way back then) for the electric to be connected. We made an extension cord with two male ends and sent power from my neighbor's house to ours. It got us through our first week. Granted, we used it for minor draws.

People get to worked up over the rules. The best rule is common sense.

Sorry Chris but COMMON SENSE sure flew out the window on this post. Sure hope no one pays any attention to stuff like this - very bad advice.

Here's a quote from Chris a few weeks ago with some better COMMON SENSE advice......

I guess I'm not sure why so many are so eager to avoid the rules. If you're not sure what the rule is, go by what the book says, you can never go wrong. Someone may have had a different experience, but as time has shown us here on the forum, it will someday bite someone in the behind.
