How do you get electricity from the house to the garage?
If the garage is detached, have a subpanel installed. I would recommend having a professional electrician do this. : IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB : SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY : REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. : If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes (not a simple proximity voltage indicator) to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
Why do you have 53 volts on a 120 volt panel?
You have to backtrack and see where you have 120 volts. You likely have a loose or corroded wire connection. It is very dangerous working inside a panel so you should not do this if you are at all in doubt as to what you are doing.Many houses use aluminum service entrance cable and the aluminum creeps in the connector over time. There is an Allen headed screw that tightens this connection, but it is obviously hot and you could get killed touching this with a metal Allen wrench. An electrician would either remove the meter which disconnects the panel or use a special insulated tool and gloves to tighten the connection.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What is the largest wire size I can use to fit a 1 14 conduit?
This depends on how many wires you need to put through the conduit. Typically you would figure out what size wire you need to handle a given load, and then find the smallest conduit you could possibly put those wires in. I'd actually need to know what type of conduit, also. Size your wire first, then your conduit. If you don't know how to size your wire, call an electrician. If you do it wrong you will start a fire. Once you've got your wire size, NEC Table C1 for EMT or C2 for PVC should head you in the right direction. ----If you do not understand the work well enough to accomplish it yourself properly and safely, don't try it. Consult a professional electrician, as they are proficient enough to do it properly and safely. When working on electrical circuits and equipment, make sure to de-energize the circuit you will be working on. Then test the circuit with a definitive means to make sure it is off (multimeter with metal tipped leads, voltage tester with metal tipped leads, etc., not a non-contact tester, which is non-definitive.)
Any advantages in wiring a single speed pool pump 230V vs 115V electrician says cheaper to wire 115V?
Your electrician is correct on this. However, the pump is designed for 230V and will use less electricity, thus saving money if wired for 230V. Yeah, if you have to rewire for 230 V then it would be more expensive until your savings had consumed or offset the expense.
