Subject - Wiring a drip proof box by gardern.
Billybob	Hello, My first time here. I am putting in an electical box on a pole by my garden. I need a light and radio to keep deer away. I am running 2 wire 12 ga with ground about 40 ft underground in conduit. I see in the drip proof box mounted on the pole there is a place for the LOAD and a place for the LINE wire. I know the black is the hot and the white is not and the bare wire is ground. Does the black go to the LOAD or to the LINE ? That is all I need to know. Thanks.
Scott Vickrey	BB, We enjoy helping people with their electrical questions, but we discourage helping people with a DIY electrical installation. Surely you can see the hazards of us thinking your doing one thing and your talking about or doing something else. I will tell you what line and load means. The line is the incoming power or supply side of a switch or a device and the load is the outgoing or power consuming side of a switch or device. We can't advise you on what wire to hook up where, this would be irresponsible of us. What if you misunderstood me or worse I misunderstood you? We just can't see what's going on and cannot contribute to an accident because of miscommunication. I would recommend you call an electrician over at least he could see what's going on. I'm also concerned because I don't know what kind of box your hooking up and other than disconnects boxes themselves don't have line and load connections.
David Hyatt	I agree with Scott, but if the deer are that much of a problem I will shoot them for you. LOL
cs409	more important than the deer,,,,how the heck did you retire at age 50?
