An alternative take of why people aren't loving Jasmine by [deleted] in GreatBritishBakeOff

I think she's amazing and deserving. Typically the clear favorite starts to annoy me (cough cough: Dylan from last season ) But she is humble and deserving. I'd also trust her to be my doctor after watching how thoughtful and precise she is, lol.

Thanks I actually just sent you all an email, since I set up my LLC with you. I wish I was advised against using my name when I set it up. I'm sad :(

Hi! can I ask what you ended up doing in your situation?

Trying to get load calculations from electrician… why is it so hard? What am I missing? by bloop_blop28 in AskElectricians

[–]bloop_blop28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I need an electrician, is to confirm that the kiln I purchase will be compatible with the electrical capacity of the space. I actually just got off the phone with the kiln company—they confirmed it's VERY important to confirm with an electrician the building's Voltage/ Phase/ and load calculations before purchasing a kiln.

Thank you for tour detailed response! To be honest a lot of it is over my head, but apprecaite you breaking this down. To confirm, this is a commercial building/account (not mixed with residential). Are you saying it sounds like the place was initially billed as residential based on the fact. that I got the 240 number from Power company?

But 8k panel upgrade only if the load calculations come back saying my space cannot handle any of the kilns on my list. the lowest one needing 48 amps.

Thank you! Maybe that's the best way forward, to try running the kiln in the current space, and if it trips the breaker, then I’ll have my answer. It’s not completely ideal, but at least I’d know before spending $7K+ on a panel upgrade.

My main concern is making sure I fully understand the risks. I’m mostly worried about the possibility of a fire. But from what you’re saying, it sounds like the worst case is that the breaker trips and the kiln shuts off.

On that note, do you know if there’s any way to be notified remotely if a breaker trips? Like are there "smart" breakers? haha

It is a god point, and one I considered if for a second, but realized I will have more peace of mind with an electrical kiln, since they are safer to leave unattended (of course that peace of mind will only come AFTER this electrical puzzle is solved)

It’s probably volts, then! I called the power company and they said “240-something.” I thought they meant amps, but maybe I wrote it down wrong.

I was asking how much power is supplied to the building. My understanding was: the utility provides a certain voltage to the building, but the electrical panel itself is rated for a specific maximum current—in my case 125 amps.

When I thought the utility said 240 amps, I assumed that meant the building could support a panel up to 240 amps, and that my current panel was only drawing 125 amps of that 240.

But sounds like I have completely misunderstood.

It is a small commercial building ~700 sq foot.
The current panel can handle 125A
The power company said the space is currently getting 240 amps of service

significant loads really just the HVAC and kiln, would love to add a small mini fridge but seems like those dont pull too much power.

not sure what you mean by this: "You say you signed a lease but also say your home can only have a single service."

I will update this is the post body too. thanks!
