Yeah, if you're going to off-grid with solar, build a separate shed to put all that poo poo in. Also let your insurance provider know what you have, so when it does catch fire, it's covered. I'm trying to convince my friend to just put his inverter/controller in his shed, but it gets cold here at 7500ft up and it will kick off below freezing. Also his Growatt is apparently only rated for <2000m elevation, we're at 2300m. He wants to run thick battery cables some 30 odd feet, which probably wouldn't be great for his wallet or voltage drop. He could easily just put heating mats under everything, like you'd find with terrariums, that would draw less than 1kw overnight. Nope, he's convinced he needs to put that thing indoors, right next to his panel.

Sagebrush posted:To me it looks like they tried to solder it (already the wrong decision), but the iron they had was way underpowered for cables that thick, so all they could do was tin the outside of the conductors and barely stick them together. Then since that didn't work they wrapped the wires with a bunch of extra solder and called it a day. No need for soldering, when the connections heat up it will melt the solder and connect perfectly.

I mean, that's what we did with ours here in Denmark, been operating fine for like... ten years now? Nothing's caught fire.  Also posting an exciting scaffold that a friend took a picture of.  Yes that's a ladder balanced across two large sawhorses, extended by a plank supported by a single vertical piece of wood midway across.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:If you're tied to a grid, yeah, you'll get a higher voltage system. Off-grid though, 48v is pretty standard now. 6v-24v are more likely to be found on RVs, but there's plenty of people running on 12v systems with banks of car batteries. That poo poo sucks. no, I dont think it has anything to do with connection to the grid, I think it has all to do with the power converters you chose to run. And the voltage you run your battery pack at

A walk board would be better but it's not the most OSHA thing I've seen. The guys at my job who do screening on cage roofs don't use real walk boards. They built their own out of patio extrusion and 24-gauge aluminum coil

Mynameismud posted:no, I dont think it has anything to do with connection to the grid, That's a good point. The bulk of solar stuff I've seen lately has been largely towards 48v though. That's mostly small home stuff, 10-30kw battery capacity, 120v output inverters, etc.

Well they hired the diver to go down there and cut off the rope tangled around it (an extremely OSHA job in its own right) so presumably they know he's there and aren't going to start moving (since they stopped due to the rope tangled in the propeller)

Editor's note: The original story stated the driver crashed into 14 cars, police have since updated that number to 12. He must have been hammered if that cell phone guy knew to start filming, and then kept quietly filming while half the parking lot was getting wrecked. mom and dad fight a lot fucked around with this message at 23:27 on May 9, 2022 |

FuturePastNow posted:Well they hired the diver to go down there and cut off the rope tangled around it (an extremely OSHA job in its own right) so presumably they know he's there and aren't going to start moving (since they stopped due to the rope tangled in the propeller) Ships may be reluctant to shut down their main engine for a number of reasons. A couple of problems if the engine is left on: 1) Controls can be bumped accidentally. I've seen that happen and tangle net in the propeller more than once. 2) Marine gears (="transmission") even when in neutral can creep causing the propeller to slowly rotate. Slow, but heavy enough to cause a lot of damage to small squishy things. Ideally the shaft is locked somehow but often the only option is the engineer down in the shaft tunnel sitting on a pipe wrench attached to the shaft until the dive ends. This suggestion is often met with a shrug. A friend of mine was doing a similar job under a large trawler using SCUBA gear. (I know, not surface supplied = more esoteric OSHA.) He was clipped off to a small buoy to mark his position. He felt a tug, looked up and realized the ship's propeller was creeping, had grabbed the buoy line, and was winding him up into the propeller. One of those moments where you get to review your knife-carrying habits - is it sharp, is it accessible without contorting your body, and if you drop it when you try to use it (highly likely) do you have a backup?
