I can wait. Ask him also if the cable is leaking to ground, shouldn't we be able to find out its leaking with a clamp on amp meter? I must of run a lot of electricity to ground over time. Seems to me I should of picked up this leak on my electric bill. I temporally but the wires together yesterday just to see if what was left under ground would pull enough amps to run a motor. Both legs pulled the same 8.7amps and ran the motor, so I guess that at least it tells me it will work for a while. I asked someone that should know and they said I should be fine but he wasn't sure with the alum wire either. He knew about the white dust but didn't know about the granular sugar stuff I was trying to explain. I cut another foot out and it looks cleaner now. When the rain stops I figure I will just but it together and not cover it for a few days so I can feel the cable for heat after running 24 hours. Let me know what you find out and thanks. Then we will know for future problems.
