Three-Phase posted:I didn't realize for the smaller arcs there was more energy in the resulting clothing fire than the arc itself, but that makes a lot of sense. I'll need to send this to the guys at work. Just curious, what kind of work/voltages do you use for that level of ppe? I work in substations (rail) and I work from 120v DC to 66000v AC. Yet my PPE is 185gsm cotton drill. We however focus on engineering controls/isolations. Never work live (except maybe to 120v dc for testing purposes).

Ursine Asylum posted:I think the weirdest part of this image is looking at the underride guard behind the apparently-untouched back wheel. Either there's some damage there I'm not seeing, the underride guard doesn't go all the way across the back of the truck, or the physics of crashes are I'm reading it as the bar that was parallel to the back of the truck got sheared, but the more reinforced supports stuck around and cut through fiberglass like butter.

I thought an inverted plug meant the plus was controlled by a switch on the wall. That way you could always tell which plug you were supposed to plug lamps into. That's consistently been the case in every house I've ever lived in.

Applewhite posted:I thought an inverted plug meant the plus was controlled by a switch on the wall. That way you could always tell which plug you were supposed to plug lamps into. You've consistently lived in houses that were built or owned by someone who actually gave a poo poo. With the exception of my parents' house, every house I've ever lived in has had all the outlets installed ground-on-bottom, with the lamp switch outlets scattered totally at random, and also with the circuits laid out in totally random fashion. The townhouse I live in now has the master and downstairs half bath on one circuit, with a GFCI in the half bath downstairs. Plug something in that trips it? You get to walk down the stairs to reset it! (I understand that a single GFCI is fine, and meets code, but it really should have been installed in the master bathroom, where people actually plug things in, and not the loving half-bath.) Plug too much in? You not only trip the breaker for those two bathrooms, as it should be, but it kills two outlets, on two different outlet plates in the living room, as well.  They also installed an interior GFCI outlet on my outdoor outlet box, which is daisy chained to the garage. They didn't properly ground And this place has a BETTER electrical system than some I've seen.

Is this the point where I bring up the IT system typically used in Norway? The last mile of power is three-phase at 230V between the phases, ~130V to ground. There's no Neutral and no central Ground, so a typical house has a local ground and gets three live phases at the intake. A socket has two live phases (so 230V) and hopefully ground, in a non-oriented Schuko socket. As connectors go, it's not quite so battleship-solid as the UK one, but much chunkier than the US ones. A proper schuko socket is also recessed enough that the pins don't make contact until they're no longer accidentally reachable. We're apparently slowly moving to a TN net more like the rest of Europe, where the last mile is 400V between the phases, 230V to a combined ground+neutral, and you get four wires to the house; splitting the ground/neutral out at the intake box. More wires, but less risk of dodgy local grounds, and the higher voltage lets you use cheaper cable.

Isn't that weird-rear end system in use because of the tolerance to trees falling on the power lines? The backwoods of Norway being even less accessible than those of Sweden and Finland, with this setup there's no need to worry about ground faults caused by trees hanging off the lines since they are floating relative to the ground.

Highest I've troubleshot live was around 800Vac, highest I've worked around (not touching) was 4160V. 125V DC is nasty because people will use a non-contact tester, and it won't show dangerous DC voltages, only AC.

bitcoin bastard posted:There was a pretty hosed up picture I saw once where some dude in a Corvette rear ended a tractor trailer. All the pic showed was his new convertible and a red splotch about head height on the back of the trailer. Something similar happened to one of my mother's friends from back in Detroit. As she was driving down one of the X Mile Roads, a low convertible went under a tractor trailer. The driver's head found itself lodged in her windshield wipers, staring at her. She already had a rather fragile mental state when that occurred.

simplefish posted:Think I was linked from this thread or the old version of it: Setting up, running those crashes, and then picking apart the car and the high-speed to look at and evaluate the design looks like an extremely awesome job. Still, some of those impacts are BRUTAL.  Do they use supercomputers nowadays more to do crash testing (finite element analysis or whatever) in a computer instead of using actual vehicles? (I think that might be used more in the design phase, and then the crashing verifies that the simulation is acceptably accurate.) At least they were wrecking Malibus instead of destroying good cars.

Still, some of those impacts are BRUTAL. I think real cars are pretty much necessary for reliable testing. Even a supercomputer can't account for every single variable in a real crash. Exactly how are cars sourced for crash tests? Do car makers send a certain percentage of models for sacrifice or are old and junky cars donated?

I know the reason the Porsche 959 never made it (officially) to the US is that Porsche didn't want to give 2-3 cars for the crash test rating. Hence the car was never approved to be sold on US soil. It seems makers do have to pony up some cars for the test ratings, but I'm sure for all older comparisons and other tests they source their cars from other means such as a junkers and other private sales.

A wooden broom handle or a 4by4 can help if you can't dropkick. Oh, and DC is also very, very nasty because electrolysis will happen in your body and you can die way after getting shocked because it hosed up your blood. See a doctor.
