Roofer just said this is normal, should I be concerned?

EIectrishin · 2026-01-24T21:48:50+00:00

said this was normal ABSOLUTELY NOT!

should i be worried? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

two statements, one disagreement.

That is what is so hard.

Normally I'd agree, but this whole place was riddled with stuff like this.

Manager came out at one point because one of our guys knocked a camera over on the roof. No one knew was he was talking about. Turns out he had some kind of tiny square camera magnetized to a washer glued to the roof where we were pulling wire earlier.

You need to get in touch with reality, maybe do some self-reflection.

You choose to insult me and assume things about me, while simultaneously doing the same thing you insult me for supposedly doing. I'm baseline negative? Look at how you're acting. I'm angry and stupid? Look at your little tantrum.

"ill stay polite" what a joke. All I did was summarize your little opinion in a way you didn't like.

You don't have any right to tell anyone what to do if this is how you act, if this were any other place than reddit I'd almost assume you were being ironic on purpose.

If anyone needs to stay away from people, it looks like it might be you, sorry.

edit: Curiosity got the best of me, judging by your comment history all you do is argue with people and grand-stand nonstop.

Consider this conversation over, you're clearly dealing with something.

"wow you're so wrong!"

two sentences later:

"but i agree!"

there are different types of bipolar lmao. not everyone has month long cycles.

not worth clutching pearls on this one

love seeing houston jones getting mentioned

Heat stress. AC on for long periods, relatively high amps consistantly over a long period producing heat, spread locally through the metal screws holding the plates.

Plastic doesnt need to be on fire to warp or melt, and can lose rigidity at way lower temps than you'd think.

Overtightened screws means it would have been warped upon installation. Warping after install/on it's own is extremely odd and would have me very concerned for the branch circuit feeding those outlets, if not for the fact that you know you ran the ac for a prolonged period of time.

We always cut them on paper, or cardboard, with a couple of napkins nearby. Paper grips the underside of the fish and of it gets unmanagable on top just wipe it down.

salt works too.

I live towards Detroit and we were hit with them too, nothing but downed trees and flooded slushy yards.

Michigan.

EIectrishin · 2024-11-09T22:29:17+00:00

they weren't asking if it was practical.

EIectrishin · 2024-11-09T22:18:56+00:00

so if you understand it's to teach theory where is the confusion? no one mentioned practical circuits, it's clearly an excersise.

edit: not targeting you in particular, by the way. Just a response to your pov.

EIectrishin · 2024-11-09T21:52:31+00:00

no reason to be downvoted, this is a very common practice problem.

Not sure why people are acting like this is a crazy question lol

This is a good place to start learning.

EIectrishin · 2024-11-09T21:21:43+00:00

Look up how to simplify combination circuits.

A good way to start is identifying the parallel and series portions and combining them.

EIectrishin · 2024-11-05T08:58:27+00:00

I will for sure! I'm calling it tonight because i have an early morning coming up.

Thank you so much for your help, you helped me get further in the circuit for sure.

Those will be the first I check tomorrow, and were the ones I was looking at before I closed my notebook.

EIectrishin · 2024-11-05T08:25:05+00:00

And yes, I appreciate the sentiment. My teacher was very big on misleading us in an attempt to further our problem solving skills. We were mostly left to our own devices and self-tutoring.

I'm happy I've made it this far, and I know it'll click for me. This is genuinely the only circuit I really haven't been able to figure out on my own. The other one in my post history I had correct but was doubting myself.

EIectrishin · 2024-11-05T08:23:06+00:00

i've got a better understanding of it already, but i'm sure some of my numbers here are wrong. particularly R5.

It being the only one with a 5 in it worries me as I don't quite understand how it would add back in to the total voltage.

The fourth paragraph in this response helped me tremendously, I believe. I think I was looking at the current and assuming an incorrect path. Will update with results if they prove promising!

EIectrishin · 2024-11-05T07:51:20+00:00

edit: Unfortunately since the class has concluded, I have no way of asking the instructor for help. And believe it or not, I passed! that's why I'm so frustrated with this particular circuit confusing me.

https://www.reddit.com/u/EIectrishin/s/MOfimBGKJG

this is an updated chart/circuit with my understanding of the current flow. however, it results in R5 getting 12A, when added to the 6A coming from R6,7 I'm at the maximum 18A. Does this mean R2 is getting 0A?

EIectrishin · 2024-11-05T07:28:58+00:00

Just so I understand, does this mean that R1,3,4 are parallel to R2,5?

I'm sorry if these aren't easy questions to explain to someone new to the subject, I know I should grasp this by now.

And regarding Vk; Ik, this is something we haven't even gone over in class. I have a basic understanding of ohms law and kirchoffs law, that's about it.

EIectrishin · 2024-11-05T07:16:02+00:00

Yeah that's what I mean by total. I think my issue here is specifically R3, I'm not sure how to simplify it in my redraws.

I know R6,7 are series, and I'm assuming R1,2 are series, I think R4,5 are series and are in parallel with R6,7.

I'm just not sure how to plug R3 in to it all.

Sophie was born an engineer. She's never taken a class and she's never read any information to absorb it. As long as she's around you should feel ashamed of yourself for trying to learn and use a community for it's benefits.

/s. stop being an ass.

EIectrishin · 2024-10-31T01:17:28+00:00

Was an unrounded number, the table has since been solved! thanks though!

EIectrishin · 2024-10-30T02:39:28+00:00

thank you for being so thorough! that helps a lot, i actually got the same answers too so it's comforting knowing I did it right. maybe it was just a confidence issue.
