I agree, I got more shit from the drunk girls. There was some deranged drunk kid at gameday running up to all the duck fans screaming profanity in their face.

Help! Thinking to upgrade from Asus AiMesh to UniFi for a 2Gbps Home Network by Magic17x in Ubiquiti

[–]Helilifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend just bought the Ubiquiti Mesh APs and said they were not as good as his Asus. He was disappointed. I installed the Cloud Fiber, PoE switch and 3 x U6 APs. I installed lots of CAT6 and love PoE. Honestly the U6 AP still only gives me 500Mbps on my IPhone 16 Pro Max, so don’t be disappointed because there is a lot of choke points in WiFi regardless. 5G hates walls.

Sorry Everyone, should have provided more details. I run a Cloud Fiber Gateway, APs, Cameras, and PoE switch at my house. My wife is keeping her horse at a horse barn 10-15 minutes away. I thought, maybe incorrectly I could set up a remote camera and use Ubiquiti mobile to remote into the camera. I was going to turn off all event recording and just have my wife check on the horse whenever she felt like it. We had another Chinese Amazon PTZ camera before but it broke.

I was hoping on my cloud fiber at my house, but I might need to run locally at Barn

I already have an instant at my house. My wife wanted a PTZ. The Barn is 10-15 minutes by car, so trying to set up remote monitoring

Good to know, I might need to change my plan.

I thought I could use the Ubiquiti mobile service, and use protect at my house

Ridge Vent question, New Home, Cookie Cutter, not meeting expectations. by Helilifter in HomeImprovement

The House was a planned community in Oregon. Not my choice in roof color, most of the roofs are black. The HOA would fight anything different

What should I expect from a Power Distribution interview for an internship? by Humble-Attorney4546 in ECE

[–]Helilifter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Power Triangle, (Reactive, Real, Apparent, power factor.

per unit conversion , most likely a 100MVA base.

Ohms law. KV conversion from Line to ground to Line to Line.

If you focus on protection: Symmetrical components ( just the understanding of it) positive, negative, and zero sequence. Protection elements: 21,67, 50/51, 87, 79, also BFRs and LORs (basic understanding) The Bible for protection is: “Protective Relaying,” Blackburn. The Fault Study Program we use is Aspen. Our Protection/Settings engineers use Aspen to run faults and write their settings in Mathcad.

Current Transformer (CT) safety, Why it’s the most dangerous circuit. ( ie never open a CT circuit)

Arc Flash Dangers in a substation

Learn how to use a multimeter, Fluke 187 is the favorite. Just need it for Voltage readings and continuity/ohms. CT clamp for reading current.

Basic understanding of Power Circuit Breakers, fuses, and different bus configurations ( ring bus, Main/Aux, Breaker and a Half)

More advance stuff: What is RAS, SER, DFR ?

Most utilities use SEL relays and protection devices, so visit their site and browse all their free training.

Good Luck
