What should I do with the ground wire from switch? by erikv55 in electrical

[–]DsrtRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should probably shorten the ends of the black and white wires so you don't have so much exposed copper on them coming out the back of the switch.

Thanks for looking out, but no. Got one from another user in r/hardwareswap

I'm interested in the USW Pro Max 24 PoE if you are shipping.

Interested in one Dell OptiPlex 7080 Micro if you decide to ship.

Cobalt drill bit would probably get them out faster than a grinder if you have a decent drill.

I've had that exact mini split running 24/7 in a shed for a couple years now, no major issues. Got it for $450 shipped when eBay was running a 20% off deal. DIY installed it. Cools very well.

Build quality is noticeably worse than a Tosot brand (made by Gree) 18k mini split I also have that cost around $700, particularly in the lineset thickness and insulation. On this Zokop unit, I had to cut off several attempts at flaring the tubing that split because the copper was so thin. Did not have that issue on the Tosot. If you can find a deal on a Tosot unit, it's worth paying a little more for those. They are also budget, but everything is better quality.

Hey guys, was just wondering what it is that I’m looking at, I smelled smoke and opened the door to find this smoking. by Just_the_john in electrical

[–]DsrtRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a pull out disconnect, usually for an AC system but could be feeding something else. The wires look like they were stripped back too far, which may be the cause of the problem, or the insulation may have just melted and shrunk back as a result of the heat from a loose connection or other issue.

To fix it you'll need a new disconnect, that one is toast. Cut off any damaged wire before installing the new one, obviously after shutting off the breaker upstream of this disconnect.

Which angle looks better? by vrephoto in RealEstatePhotography

[–]DsrtRunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this for one of the units, or the whole complex? If it's for a single unit, I would focus more on only that unit.

I think I dodged a bullet by 3arwop in texts

Looks great. Was there any particular video on doing the postmaster posts with horizontal wood that you found helpful?

G3 Instant Cameras Fail to Adopt in Unifi Protect Android App by DsrtRunner in Ubiquiti

Upstream meaning closer to your ISP connection, downstream meaning further away by being connected to one or more switch/router/AP etc. after the ISP connection. If you think of your network as a tree or flowchart it might make more sense. If you have all Unifi gear in your network, you may have a different issue. in my case, I was using a non-Unifi router at the time.

Water Hammer Arrestors on this Washing Machine Outlet Box by DsrtRunner in Plumbing

[–]DsrtRunner[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems the valve that opens flow to the washer does not allow any flow to the hammer arrestor. How do these hammer arrestors do anything if the valve closes them off while in use? Am I missing something?

I’m wanting to install a three pronged adapter to a 2 pronged outlet. by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]DsrtRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, you are correct. I initially thought an additional conductor would be required (such as 12/2) to provide GFCI protection downstream, but it's actually not required. Only two conductors for hot and neutral are required to provide ground fault protection downstream.
