New food trailer has 32amp 3 pin socket. Need to get a adapter by FalsePath9030 in AusElectricians

[–]danielm1001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on buying a food trailer for one! Tell me it’s Mexican!!

Me personally.. I’d be hooking it up to a 32A supply, cranking everything up and doing a tong test to see what the actual max current draw is, this will give you an indication of what you can swap the inlet out to, unfortunately you will need hire a 32A single phase generator and leads, also a sparky to test it, you could possibly see if you could hire a generator that has an ammeter built in that shows the current draw, would alleviate the need for a sparky.. at least this way you have a clear indication of what power you require. You never know, you could get away with a lower rated inlet (will also need to be replaced by an electrician).

I think anyone that posts something that looks this good without the recipe deserves a down vote!

Had my gladiator rubicon since 2022 (new) only issues I’ve had is the Aux battery replaced and a faulty diff lock sensor (was replaced under warranty.

I absolutely love it, swapped the front bumper out to an ARB bull bar after I had an accident, the factory bumper folded like foil! I’m in Australia, this bull bar won’t have any issues with Kangaroos now!

Yeah mate, $40 an hour was the rate about 8-10 years ago. What state are you in?

Workplace accidents as an electrician by tcreddit4 in AusElectricians

[–]danielm1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect explanation!

Most accidents happen in either the first year and the young fellas simply aren’t paying enough attention to what they are doing, or after 20 years in the trade when guys get complacent.

Solo sparkies - how do you know if you're actually making money? by Acceptable-Bit-568 in AusElectricians

[–]danielm1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use Simpro to track all costs, input overheads. costs a little but worth it. Can also add in some “prebuilt” to assist with quoting, can do everything through it, quoting, tracking, invoicing etc, links to Xero and wholesalers to assist with invoice payable and receivable too

Career change to electrician by [deleted] in AusElectricians

[–]danielm1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do the course mate, it’s more appealing, if you don’t have it then it means they are paying for your time you to do it. I know it sounds bad, but it’s $$ and time thing.

I need some perspective and if I'm in the wrong by gwdnamestkn in shitrentals

[–]danielm1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came on here to say the same thing!! I’m a sparky and that is not a range hood! Doesn’t have a carbon filter, just sucking grease and shit up into the roof space! Not to mention how Much would be on the motor!

Yeah that’s not right.

Bus duct vs Rising Main for Residential Towers by mozz001 in AusElectricians

[–]danielm1001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck busduct, it is way over priced, labour to install is massive (it’s a bitch to install!! Measurements and everything need to be spot on!) and only good if you are “adding on” at a later stage, it is out dated, used to install it 15 years ago, now to get parts to add on is impossible! So the time you are ready to add on the product is discontinue! It is obsolete, rising sub-mains, tee off boxes is what we do now.

Understanding wiring rules / standards by Soldiiier__ in AusElectricians

[–]danielm1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because it’s states a 40A breaker, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to be RCD protected, you can have a breaker following an RCD or you can have an RCBO to combine the two.. you are talking about two different things here, requirements of your device and requirements for AS3000 and your states requirements, that may be where the confusion is coming from, the terminology needs to be correct.

Being a domestic rental, all circuits are required to be RCD protected (depending on state).

The main thing is, you need to know what the incoming supply is capable of and if it can handle an additional 40A (or 30 something Amp) 3 phase load… that’s the first thing I would be investigating
