Washing machines etc. have their own 10-16A fuses. 3 phase 16A power is used for larger equipment, most commonly for semi-permanent installation like oven&stove combo and electric sauna stove. Those are usually connected to star, so single element in equipment will still see 230V.

Actually, some places (notably Australia and the UK) go to 240V, and this is +/- 10%, so theoretically you could be seeing anything up to 264V supplied. However, the supply companies seem to have a “better high than low” philosophy, and my UPS tells me I am currently receiving 257V on a 240V line. I actually believe the UPS, as I’ve regularly seen this happen with test equipment on the line.

My friend died of electrocution while on the job. Our mains voltage here is 240V (single phase) or 415V (three phase) and not very forgiving.

I’ve paid 18’000.- CHF in Switzerland back in 2017 for a 9.3kW roof top installation and I’ve gotten 5’580.- CHF back from the Swiss government in cash. That’s like 13 cents per watt installed

I can only think of a single instance in the last six months where the HPWC higher charge rate would have made a difference for us, and even then it would have simply made leaving for a long trip slightly more comfortable.

idk, anytime I’ve been shocked on the job I tend to immediately pull back – usually any screwdriver I have in my hands goes flying, and hopefully its not towards me or anyone else’s face. Which is why I use all 1000v insulated screwdrivers now. Better sorry than safe, kill two stones with one bird. You can definitely “feel” the alternating current.

​So if I am looking to make the magnet more powerful, other than supplying more current, could I wire the primary and secondary coils of the microwave transformer together in series to get more turns (being mindful to keep the direction the current flows the same in both coils)? My thoughts are that it would increase the resistance a bit from the added wire but that the magnet would have a lot more turns. Am I missing something or am I onto something? Thanks in advance!

Need the gas for the generator, or the ELR during emergencies. Usually just use the bolt and elr for home juice during power failures. I answer the lawnmower comment after they approve the moderation.

Some heaters are a coil of Alloy wire cast in ceramic and then enclosed in a stainless steel tube. Basically a bad inductor, but still having the surge properties of one. Same with big boy halogen bulbs.

But 110/120v A/C? that stuff is baby-play, as long as you realize that you shouldn’t use both hands, or use grounding straps, it just kinda buzzes, I’ve played around with TENS devices that had more (felt) kick than it…

The new CMOS image sensor in the Sony A33 features on-chip column A/D conversion, which helps increase readout speed. It also includes the same on-chip analog and digital noise reduction that featured previously in the Sony A900. The Sony A33 also sports an updated BIONZ image processor, with reworked algorithms to allow its signature high-speed burst shooting, plus digital compositing and Full HD movie recording. The Sony Alpha A33 offers sensitivities ranging from ISO 100 to 12,800 equivalents, and can automatically select an ISO sensitivity between ISO 100 and 1,600 equivalents.

My 2 stage 23 x 24″ CASE snowblower I home-made converted to a 3 hp extension cord electric (240 on the Tesla outlet – peaks at 35 amperes and 7 1/2 hp). I was worried that I had underpowered it but last March when all the gas blowers on the street were stalling on heavy water laden snow, mine just kept barreling down the sidewalk.
