Phanatic posted:You need fuses in the plugs when you do insane stupid poo poo like ring mains because you can't afford copper and then even when you can afford copper you just keep on living with that in your house. In comparison house wiring in the US is a marvel of design. That's only in UK. I don't think that's done anywhere else in Europe.

mostlygray posted:US runs on 110/120 so the plugs don't have to be rock solid. That's why we don't use electric kettles; they're a waste of time on 110. The stove top is faster. If you're running 240 it's a whole different deal. Those have to be solid. It's just how we roll. I dunno, it only takes my kettle a few minutes to heat up a liter of water

Plus my entire apartment isn't heated by an electric kettle versus the stupid electric stovetop that wastes heat and is a radiant warmer for 30 minutes after use.

Screw that, I used to use electric kettles but finally got a Zojirushi boiler, keeps 4L of water boiling water on tap at all times, never has to spool up.

I mean, for a given power (like saying a kettle is 1000w) upping the voltage would just decrease the current. Power is power is energy over time. Unless I'm completely fuckling my EE education which is a good possibility

Guyver posted:That seems handy but the kettle has to pull double duty between coffee and tea. And I don't have enough counter top for both. Unless the boiler can be adjusted down for the mornings. yeah it has 4 temp settings. I keep mine at 190F and it works for tea and coffee fine. It's just always on and doesn't let the water evaporate out so you just never have to think about the water part of a drink. e, content:

Unless I'm completely fuckling my EE education which is a good possibility Waiting for ovens to get a 240V pass through to hook up a kettle but that's probably also a bitch to get underwritten. Oh well, have gas now anyway (that takes longer than my old apartments electric top.)

Unless I'm completely fuckling my EE education which is a good possibility P=IV so a 10A circuit at 110V gets you 1100W. In Europe, 10A at 220V gets you 2200W. The water will boil faster in Europe.

Unless I'm completely fuckling my EE education which is a good possibility Real power is E/t. But power is also V*I, and it is also I^2*R. For a given power, it's more efficient to deliver it at a higher voltage and a lower current, because your resistive losses are lower. Granted, for a purely resistive device like a water heater, it's all going to turn to heat anyway. But then it's just a matter that if you have a 15-amp rated circuit you can deliver a lot more power at 230VAC than at 115VAC.

My favorite (M)SDS I have ever seen to describe a chemical: "Slightly reddish liquid with a refreshing odor." It's a kind of penetrating lubricant.

My makerspace had a fire because people in the wood shop were doing a ton of staining and poo poo with linseed oil and decided the big plastic general use garbage was the best place to hoard all their used oily rags. If only there was a very well known rule of thumb about the disposal of oily rags in woodshops...

Probably whoever built the bridge. I would assume that clearances for rail lines don't change all that often, so the train company will know if they will clear everything along the line. Probably built the bridge a little bit too low.

They still manage to gently caress up with bridges that have been there for a while. This happened outside my office a couple years ago:  They ran trains every day on that line.

What the hell, train heights and bridge clearances are extremely well known that should never happen. Like I'd get it if it was a train car filled with some special over-height cargo they forgot to check with, but containers??

Only thing I can think of is somebody loaded one of those containers that is a foot higher than normal without checking the clearances.
