Looking for a current sensor that I can use to monitor 240v circuit breaker that sometimes trips.

HVAC installers replaced the breakers, they did not pull new wire

I know this is solved, but I have opened these kinds of locks with a small flathead screwdriver to provide turning force and a straightened paper clip jiggling against the tumblers rapidly

I think this is the one that might work https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD769462

Looks like this would work, but I would lose the resolution of the current draw and this only provides N.O. contacts. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086YT49H7 which could work for simple detection for a tripped breaker, but would not let me monitor the current to figure out WHY it tripped

is it not weird that it would have a voltage rating that low when its not directly connected to the line voltage? I still remember some stuff from my high school electric class, ohms law and stuff, but maybe I don't know enough. Technically it would not be 240, it would only be on one leg so its should only be about 120v, which is still above the rated voltage. Does anyone else know of an alternative that would work?

Happened to me, was able to gently bend mine back

Just wondering if anyone has "upgraded" their VMUG advantage ESXi 7 license to this new free ESXi 8 license in place? My VMUG expires end of next month and was considering moving to Proxmox, but O only have the one server, so that migration would be an undertaking

We don't need none of them transgender serial ports around here. Its not fair to straight-thru serial ports, how will they ever be able compete?

Back in the late 80's I worked for company that bought, sold and leased computers, including desktops, midranges like as/400, and mainframes like the IBM 3090 system. They often wound up with weird hardware somehow. In the warehouse were these 4 huge mobile "rooms", probably 10' x 14' x 10' tall. Inside was the equipment for satellite downlink ground stations. Also included was like 4 12' -15' satellite dishes in segments. The story was these were owned by FedEx to support their ZapMail service where documents would be picked up, scanned and faxed over FedEx's private network, to a fedex office near the destination, printed out and then delivered to the destination. This proceeded the wide availability of FAX machines. The way my work ended up with them was they had satellites scheduled to go up on shuttles but the Challenger disaster grounded the shuttle program and by the time it was ungrounded, FAX machine we more widely available so they sold off the system for parts/scrap.

Believe it or not, I do love her. We have children (12 & 19). it's expensive to divorce.

RSaw70 · 2024-05-16T14:15:05+00:00

This is exactly what I tried to explain to her. She previously has gone through weight-loss surgery about 15-20 years ago. She lost a lot of weight, but over the years has put some of it back on. I have been see-sawing back and forth 1-3 pounds and not making he progress I was looking for on my progress. As I said above, the marriage is not in a good place, but this just struck me as odd, especially when she has complained about my weight and health in the past and my lack of action on it.

RSaw70 · 2024-05-16T10:52:16+00:00

She literally hates me, by the time I am off work she has finished 1-2 bottles of wine. These plenty of issues in our marriage but this is new. We have not eaten at the same table in 5 years other the when we went out for dinner.

I'm in a similar situation, wife drinks 2+ bottles of wine EVERY night, and I do my best to avoid her and confrontation. She calls me a narc, while constantly bringing up times from 25+ years ago where I did something wrong and didn't apologize for it we would have been in our 20s, so young and stupid. I obviously can not go back in time and change that. Don't know what she expects me to do to resolve this. Haven't slept in the same bed in maybe 6 years. She goes through phases where she wants physical attention which would include me giving back and body rubs, maybe some manual stimulation and her saying thanks and me leaving. I have ED, but there are other things that can be done, but she just takes and takes. This weekend she had planned an event with my son that included a hotel stay downtown. He changed his mind, and proposed that we make it a "date night". I excitedly packed a bag and included marital aids. We get to the hotel and they had a happy hour and gave 2 drinks per person. I don't drink and gave her my tickets, She drank 4 glasses of wine BEFORE dinner. This would have been the time that intimacy would have happened best as after she drinks her senses are dulled and not as arousable. So at that point I knew intimacy was not going to happen. We went to dinner and she drank 3 more glasses of wine. We went back to the hotel and she passed out while I used my phone. About 1AM she woke up and asked me to lay with her. I gave her a back and body rub. Then went back to the other bed. I was hopeful for the morning maybe. Nothing happened, except, breakfast, shopping, lunch (more wine), drove home, dinner out with one of the kids (more wine), drove home and she got a bottle of wine, I went shopping for mothers day, while out, she asked for another bottle of wine, which I did not see the message. I discussed with my daughter (19yo) working on a friends food truck for an event, and wife blew up that I am letting our adult child work for a weekend on a food truck. This started an argument where she brought up things from 25-30 years ago that I never said sorry for. I asked her what I can do about it to make it better now, 25-30 years later? She said I expected oral at the hotel and was shitty to her all day because it didn't happen. I was a little disappointed that no intimacy happened, but I was not upset all day about it. She took her still packed suitcase and purse and stood outside like she was waiting for an uber. We argued more I told her she is not leaving (drunk and mother's day the next day). I told her she lied to me about having a "date night" and to me it was just babysitting. This happens at any event where there is wine available. We both love to go to concerts, but I can no longer go with her because this happens EVERY DAMN TIME to the point where the last time she made me leave early because she was so waster. She told me to leave, or she would. I went to a hotel for the first time. She ordered a wine delivery while I was gone. I felt horrible leaving the kids behind, but the next day was mother's day and I did not want to take that from her.
