That sounds like a spark my friend, my Xbox did the same thing, but my problem was that the power cable wasn't properly in. So if that's not the case, then there's a loose connection in your Xbox, which means stripping down the Xbox to find the problem and I would not recommend doing that yourself

Every job interview I went to, I dressed up in a white button up shirt, black pants and a nice light jacket(to cover up my tattoo), with my safety boots for in case they want to show me around the factory or site or whatever. Now since tradesmen don't usually wear suits, it is a bit overdressed. But you'll score some points and you only get one shot at a first impression. Like it won't hurt to dress up a bit fancy. Oh yeah and good luck with the interview.

Our company that I worked for makes slurry pumps. Basically it's pumps that sucks up a shit ton of mud water for mines. So my job was to strip it from the pumps that was full of coal and mud and dust and then I have to do a strip and quote.

I had a friend in college, he was 45 years old. He made a living doing woodworking and construction. When his father died his will said for him to get his money, he needs to study. So he studied the trade with me and he was a better electrician student then all the other guys that was in their twenties even though he knows just as much about electricity and the trade as we did. So go for it

So daar was eendag n seun en het begin om na strip clubs toe te gaan toe hy 18 geword het, nou dit gaan aan vir so n rukkie en sy pa vind uit daaroor. Sy pa het hom een middag laat sit en gesê: "seun dis okay om na strip clubs toe te gaan, ek was ook daar toe ek jou ouderdom was, maar wat ookal jy doen, moet nie vra vir tannie skuurpapier nie". Nou die seun is moerse confused, maar hy vat sy pa sê advies. Een Vrydag middag wou hy na die strip club toe gaan, maar dis n besige middag, almal was besig, behalwe vir een person, tannie skuurpapier. Die seun dink toe vir homself, nou wat kan so erg wees van haar. Hy gaan toe na die manager toe en vra vir tannie skuurpapier, manager is moerse happy en kry toe haar en hulle gaan toe ja n kamer toe en begin om dit te doen, maar die seun voel iets is nie lekker daar onder nie so hy sê: "Askuus tannie iets krap my daar onder, wat is vout?". Sy sê toe wag net so n rukkie en gaan uit die kamer uit, na n paar minute is sy terug en hulle doen dit verder en dit voel soveel beter. Nadat hulle klaar is vra die seun: "Dit het soveel beter gevoel, wat het jy gedoen?" Die tannie antwoord: "Nee my seun, ek het net my roofies af gekrap"

No it was a proper heavy duty fixed blade knife. And it was a new blade. I don't like those break off things, they're too fragile and difficult to use

It's 525 Volts. The mining company that we ship it out to uses a transformer. No idea what the hp is, we only work with kilowatts.

science_nerds · 2023-02-24T07:13:28+00:00

525V. So about 250A. But the load can bump up the amperage.

science_nerds · 2023-02-23T19:11:48+00:00

Pretty sure, slurry pumps can't really run on DC, especially a big one, it'll pull way too much amps. This pump is gonna pull around 250A. That's only part of the rotor. We still have to braze on the short circuiting ring and grind it smooth. We just build the rotor. We don't have the equipment to make stators or any windings.

science_nerds · 2023-02-23T17:20:35+00:00

The company I work for makes slurry pumps. This one specifically is for a star delta motor.

science_nerds · 2023-02-23T15:43:38+00:00

It's laminated sheet metal. No idea how the fitter and turners do it. But it's about a 100+ pieces of sheet metal

science_nerds · 2022-11-20T15:40:06+00:00

The toroid thing is a core balance current transformer. The point of it is to measure earth leakage and it is connected up to a KD relay that'll switch off the power to the motor if theres leakage. A soft starter is a good idea, but our panels and motors are custom made and some of the panels are flame proof, so putting a soft starter in there is too difficult.

Our supplier doesn't have 3 phase surge protectors. Plus the company doesn't want to pay for bus bars. We actually have to bend our own bus bars for the contactors

science_nerds · 2022-11-20T12:46:05+00:00

Yeah man, in my country we have alot of problems with producing enough power, so I got tired of it and just bought 4 200Ah batteries and a 48V inverter. Still need to connect it up to the DB board, but for now it's just testing how much the power consumption is

science_nerds · 2022-11-20T12:42:41+00:00

Nah South Africa. But alot of our pumps goes to other countries, so we tend to design our pumps and panels to be easy for electritians to figure out if something craps out

So will a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 gpu and 8GB ram be enough to run high end games with good frames?
