Looking at getting an oxy/acetylene setup (well, I am getting my dads, for free, sans hoses, regulators and tanks, so basically a torch kit) and it's a whole bag of OSHA if done wrong. I was looking for videos of what happens when you get a flashback and the flame goes back into the hose but I didn't find anything, this was the closest thing but nobody seems sure what the heck is happening in the video, if the torch exploded or if it was something else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjKRbgGDhHs My dads torch is an AGA X-11 torch, can use propane or acetylene with different tips, I took it apart, glass bead blasted and cleaned all the parts, it looks to be in excellent shape, only it is so old it has no check valves or flame arrestors on the torch. But those are modular pieces that can be added on. However in researching this I've come across different ways of doing this, in europe we put flashback arrestors at the regulator end and only check valves at the torch. In the US you put both things at the torch. Which method is safer? Seems that if you get a flashback in a US configured torch it stops right there, on a euro torch it goes back to the regulator and stops there, but won't the hose explode? Perhaps very violently? One pro of the euro system I hear is that if the hose ruptures or melts, the acetylene and oxygen might catch fire and travel back the hose to the tank and welp if you're using the US setup, you've go the stops at the torch and you just bypassed this, with the euro system you stop the danger at the regulator, but you loose the hose? Not sure what happens if the flame goes that far back down the hose. Perhaps the reasoning for the euro system is a ruined hose and perhaps torch is worth protecting the tanks better? The US system seems better in those situations where the hose isn't damaged directly, but leaves a big gap in those events.

Having your lights on whenever you drive is the norm here and it makes a car 1000x easier to spot, sometimes I've almost been surprised by a car because it's lights were off and it blended in so well with the road and surroundings. But if the car has the lights on, you'll spot it hundreds of meters away even if it's not in your direct field of vision thanks to the lamps. It's just such a loving useful thing I don't understand countries where they drive with the lamps off. I think the cops would stop you here if you forgot it, and cars will blink at you to say "hey dude you forgot the lights".

I live in a newly developed area (maybe like an exurb?) in the finnish countryside and I noticed all the power here is underground, as is the fiberoptic and telecoms stuff. I got a few km to another area that's from the 70/80s and it's poles.

There aren't many poles of the ambulatory meat-version 'round these here parts. Lots of vietnamese though, and other south east asians, and various balkan people. Last time I met a pole was a week ago, he was a truck driver coming to collect something and spoke only russian and, I guess, polish. Fortunately a coworker (from belarus) came back from lunch and could sort it out.

I realize I lived pretty dangerously as a kid, grew up very rural location, only a dozen or so houses made up my village, me and the other kids my age would spend so much time in summer at the nearby lake without any supervision, I basically learned to swim on my own by trial and error.

Three-Phase posted:My theory is it's a delta-wye motor starter (starts the motor in this case with 347V across the windings, then switches once it's started to the full 600V) but if the different contact sets are operated at the wrong time you can cause a dead-short. Interesting, most delta-wye starters I've seen here go in the opposite direction. Say you have a 7.5kw 3ph motor which is usually the biggest size you can run on a consumer hookup and what might come with an electric log splitter. Such a motor is rated for 400-690V and it starts off in the 690V mode (Delta), being fed 400V, then switched to 400V mode (Wye) as the motor speeds up. Such motors are also used in industry but there I understand they just direct start them at 690V. Papa Emeritus III posted:Wait. That can actually happen? I thought it was a joke. When I added more outlets in my garage the electrican had me start up the table saw to see everything was wired in the "right" direction. Though there is no right or wrong phase arrangement, more that it's in line with what my machines were already hooked up for.

Three-Phase posted:HDS - that’s interesting! I had never heard of that but I did some searching and did see special motors that were configured for “low voltage start/high voltage run” or “high voltage start/low voltage run”. As I understand it these are normal 3ph motors that can be run normally in either configuration. As it was explained to me, when you put regular domestic 400V 3ph over the windings in 690V mode, the motor runs slower and uses less amps, so it's easier on the fuses during startup phase when it would otherwise draw most, then it switches to 400V mode and it runs normally. The control logic is all in a separate Y-D unit and can be fitted to any 400/690V 3ph motor. Most motors here tend to be 230/400V and are rated 5kw and less, those are run in 400V and direct started, like on my table saw and band saw (2.2 and 2.5kw motors). They can be reconfigured for 230V (Delta) if you are in Norway, or North America. And as I understand it 400/690 motors are the same, just a step bigger. Also I mixed up Delta and Wye in my first example, in a 400/690 motor 400V is Delta. I am so used to thinking of 400V as Wye.

PopeCrunch posted:Sure, but the vast majority of circuits you'll encounter on a 110v line are 10 amp - still enough to kill you fifty times over in ideal circumstances, sure, but there's a few moments where rescue is possible. If you're dealing with 3ø circuits, the available amperage - and amps are what kills you - range from what, 20? to well into "well, at least nobody had to splash out for cremation" territory. Most 3-phase outlets in europe are usually 16A, as with 400V you get by on a lower amperage, lower volts require higher amperage for the same amount of work, or something like that. The fuses for this 4kw 3phase motor I got are set to 9 amps or so, meanwhile I think a smaller (<1kw) single phase motor draws like 10 amps or more from a 120V outlet based on videos I've seen from north america involving motor current draw.

Memento posted:A friend of mine is a property manager. He has a block of 8 apartments in a nice neighbourhood where the roof partially lifted off in the big storms we had here in late 2016. It lifted up in a big gust of wind, then slammed back down, causing structural damage to the building as well as messing up a lot of the plaster and paint inside. They got an engineer to get into the roof from the inside and check out the roof ties, which were obviously hosed in one way or another. For a so called nice neighborhood those pictures remind me more of a shantytown than anything else. All that rusty sheet metal I guess.
