Nenonen posted:Do you have to spend it on equipment? Training might be more fruitful depending on how many workers have first aid training. Elimination of hazards would be even more fruitful. Really this is probably the answer as long as your first aid cabinet is decently stocked and everyone has accesses to safety shoes, safety glasses, and gloves at a minimum for general work. Where else it could be best spent is very situationally dependent.

No matter how many you have stocked in your first aid kits, you will be out in less than 30 days. Also, buy a case of duct tape. You will wind up using all of it eventually. You can get a case of hazard yellow/red/orange if you want is specifically for safety related duct tapings.

Looks like you can sell a retroactive abortion device on amazon and get away with it. Props to the wiring thread guys/gals/preferred pronoun here for finding this thing. I found one of these in a highschool theater running 240v moving light and I carefully powered it down and removed it. The guy that made the high school version even labeled it like this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ND6CTGK

I found one of these in a highschool theater running 240v moving light and I carefully powered it down and removed it. The guy that made the high school version even labeled it like this. This isn't actually that bad--it's about as dangerous as doing any simple electrical work at home (such as replacing an outlet), and if you follow the instructions and use the outlet tester it will either work fine or not work at all (depending on your car). It could potentially be dangerous if they bonded the two (unused) neutrals together within the device, but (a) i don't know why they'd do that and (b) it would only cause a problem if an outlet was reverse wired, which you are checking for at the very beginning. I wouldn't sell it in home depot, but I would 100% use it myself if I needed something in a pinch and couldnt get a proper 240V outlet installed (such as if i were in a rental)

It's dodgy because the circuits you're connecting to are probably still on individual breakers instead of being ganged together, so if one trips and the other is still live then your equipment is live at 120V even though it appears to be getting no power. Using a 120V outlet for your 240V supply is a bad plan too. Also the advice to use an extension cord for this purpose, without any other qualifications, is terribly dangerous given the state of extension cords in the US.

That's an almost reasonable way to get 240v out of the standard 3 phase power. Instead of combining two phases in the electric panel, you're doing it with that cable. The thing that bothers me is that the intended use is for charging a car. I wouldn't want to keep that as part of a permanent install in what is surely a place that is not climate controlled and sealed to the elements. I could maybe see it if you're travelling and want to lug your level 2 charger to the most remote AirBnB/cabin in the woods, but even that is a stretch.

It's possible to use this sort of thing and not hurt yourself. That's not the issue. Codes, like rules in general, are intended to keep the outliers from hurting themselves. The guy that does not know what this is or does, but plugs his toaster into it and burns down the house. Selling $15 worth of crap from home depot and $75 worth of dubious warning labels is exactly what people are talking about when they say Amazon has dangerous products. I would love to meet the guy that sold EV Doctor his liability insurance. I'm betting it's the "Action Park" guy.

It's also worth noting: That won't work nearly anywhere. The two outlets have to be on separate circuits, you can't just double up on a single circuit. The other problem is if the breakers need to trip, you want them both to trip at the same time or you can cause problems in your wiring/breaker panel. Bonus is you unplug one of them and now have live, pointy ends. Which is bad. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Jul 23, 2021 |

I understand wanting to get 240v. I don't understand wanting to feed that into a 120v socket.CommieGIR posted:Bonus is you unplug one of them and now have live, pointy ends. Which is bad. I'd hope the car charger wouldn't keep the pins connected when one of them is floating, but I don't know what would happen in practice.

Platystemon posted:It’s a false sense of security. Saniderm is actually loving dope at being a band-aid and protected a 3/4” cut around the side of my thumb without issues, including getting it wet. I did not use a gauze layer, I just flushed with saline spray, wrapped in saniderm and changed it when it the edges got too curled -- every couple of days or so. I went to a quick care out of an abundance of caution the next day, but the DO just smashed it with surgical soap dressed it with gauze and Curlex, which ended up hurting MORE that evening. The throbbing got so distracting I replaced the dressing with saniderm in desperation, after which the pain subsided mostly. IDK if it was better in any medicinal way, but anecdotally, it was a deeper than usual cut and not worrying about it falling off every few hours was great, and it held in a finger bleed quite easily.

Because the car already comes with a NEMA 5-15 cord  I'd guess that the charging system in the car works like modern laptop chargers, where they'll work with either 120V or 240V, it just depends on the cord.

CommieGIR posted:It's also worth noting: That won't work nearly anywhere. The two outlets have to be on separate circuits, you can't just double up on a single circuit. You shouldn't get live pointy ends (assuming you're powering an inverter circuit like you'd expect for an EV charger, if you're plugging in a regular resistive and/or inductive load. Yeah watch out for zappy zappy if you unplug in the wrong order), and seperate circuits isn't enough to guarantee you get 240 or 208. Your standard NEMA 5-15 plug has Line Voltage on one prong, neutral on the other prong, and a ground. Your typical 120V panels in Canada and US are going to be 120/240V split phase (typical residential or light commercial) or 120/208V three phase (typical medium to large commercial and industrial) In either case you need to plug in this device into receptacles fed from two different phases. In a panel the bus still be setup so that the phases alternate as you go down the panel, i.e. A/B/A/B/A/B/etc or A/B/C/A/B/C/etc for circuits 1/2/3/4/5/6/etc. So you have to make sure one end is plugged into the A phase, and the other end is plugged into B (or C if it's available), if you get unlucky and plug both into the same phase even on different circuits you get zero volts at the joined outlet between the L1 and L2 prongs but you'd see 120V from either prong to ground. If the adapter is made with any sensibility (yeah I know  ) you only need one wire from one of the receptacles (just the Line Voltage prong) and you'd need two from the other (Line Voltage and the Ground prong) E: Also as pointed out this ends with a Nema 5-15 receptacle, not a Nema 6-15, so you can easily use it to fry all your 120V equipment and you can't plug in any 240V equipment that came with a cord. tldr: Not an immediate hazard if you're sensible, but definitely not a product I would trust in the general consumers hands. E2: looking through the actual listing, at least they don't seem to claim UL / ETL / CE or any other certification body. Hopefully that's why it's unavailable now, because they got found out and shut down. Bajaha fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Jul 23, 2021 |

Well, I bought this spool of cable for only $500 and stripped off all of the sheathing for some reason and wired it up myself. As long as you don’t touch the wires or this part of the drywall or any faucets in the house, it’s fine. Coulda saved yourself $40.”

Harbor Freight sells a flux core welder that uses 110v and requires 20 amps to work but comes equipped with a NEMA 5-15 cord. The cord probably won't overheat since the duty cycle of the welder out of the box is pretty short, but it makes me laugh because you know 75% of the stuff HF sells is manufactured from random "excess" components Chinese factory owners are selling out the back door. They're not going to go through the trouble to source NEMA 5-20 plugs
