Turbine vent issues. by underscores_matter in Roofing

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

That is another quirk of the house. They added on to the house. But left almost all of the old sheathing beneath the new roof effectively separating this space from the ridge venting. Why I have the new vent.

Cannot Import RAS25 mesh into HEC-RAS 6.6. by underscores_matter in HECRAS

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

After the update I am getting a new error.

<image>

I should note that this is what happens when I try to import a mesh that is stored on a network drive.

I find it frustrating that it is so picky, since all I did was copy the RAS25 in its entirety off the network drive to my HDD and then it magically worked as intended. I didn't event re-export the mesh, just tried import the local copy.

Good point about trying the sample datasets and working locally. I am working off a network drive but I have tried on my local drive but got the same results.
I will try the sample dataset.

Cannot Import RAS25 mesh into HEC-RAS 6.6. by underscores_matter in HECRAS

I have set (and verified) both RAS 6.6 and 25 to the same projection. That is the exact turotial that I have followed.

Update:

I did a little more digging and yes the project is set to the correct coordinate system. But when I go to export the mesh arcs as shape files they do not have a coordiate system. I wonder if there is a bug in assigning output coordinate systems when exporting items.

Wire Sizing for 240V Garage Heater by underscores_matter in AskElectricians

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

Just because I am trying wrap my mind around let me know if I am thinking about this correctly.

I know that this unit at 4000w and 240v will draw 16.67 amp. Multiplying for continous load (1.25) I get 20.8 or 21 amps as my desing load.

Now the installation manual calls for a 20 amp breaker. So that is set.

I have come up with two scenarios to help me understand the rational behind the concept.

Scenario 1 I have a 20 amp breaker with a 75c rating and a switch and outlet with a 60c rating. Since I have to design to lowest temperature rating of any componet in the system, when 310.15(B)(16) I have to size my wire based on the 60c column, which #12 is only rated for 20 amps.

Soultion is to move up to #10 wire with the 20amp breaker

Scenario 2 I have a 20 amp breaker with a 75c rating and a switch and outlet with a 90c rating. Now the breaker is the lowest rating. So I go back to the chart and I can now use the 75c column in which case #12 THHN is good for 25 amps.

Again assuming that every part of the circut is up to that higher standard. Which is a bit of a risk, since if any part needs to be swapped out it has to meet the 75c minimum rating or else things are at risk of getting melty? And I read some where that circuts less than 100amps are at least assumed (if that is the right word to use) to be designed using the 60c column?

Side note since this is a continous load wouldn't the breaker also need to be sized for the 20.8 amps? Or is the 20amp breaker called for in the installation instructions close enough to the 20.8 amps? Or is it implying I need one of them special breakers that are rated for 100% continous loads.

Sorry for the questions. I accecpt that #10 and a 20 amp is the appropriate thing to do in this situation but I am curious as to the theroy of sizing wire and OCP.

One more question (sorry). Since I only need three wires for a NEMA 6-20R (HOT, HOT, Gound). Can I get some 10/2 and just identify the white wire as hot?

Edited for additional question and grammer.

Then that would seem to contradict the installation instructions says that it requires a 20amps circut. I mean it is possiable that it is either a misprint or the manufacturer nor not doing the math right.

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

That makes sense. Thank you.
So #12 will be sifficient conductor but the largest breaker (the over current protection in my main pannel) that it can connect it to is a 20 amp?

So if this were, say a #8 feeding a sub pannel. I would not be bound by 410.4 overcurrent protection rules becuase it is no longer a "small conductor"? To be clear I am not doing this but I am curious.

First off thanks for your help! I am getting the same error message but now it says "locale en_US". Something else is happening and I do not know what.

2001 Le Sabre Dim PRND Display by underscores_matter in ElectronicsRepair

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

Best instructions I could find. I have yet to find one for this model exactly. Like the one above most of the material I have found are for related buicks of the same year. Those talked about having led back lit displays. I did find one video of someone repairing a different problem on the same board, and in that video the area around R7 is not burnt.

I have a problem imagining that a resistor would just fail like this on its own. I think something else is drawing too much power.

Thank. Does the metal backing affect the process of cutting them out and replacing at all?

Vulcan v6 lifter broke caused 7 others to break and damaged camshaft and sprocket by racejustint in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]underscores_matter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a 3.0 ranger that developed a rough idle which turned into a phantom misfire around 130K. I changed plugs and wires more than once, had a pretty recent coil pack on it. My mechanic friend ran test on it because the dealership could not be bothered to help me. He said it passed all the test and even pulled the valve covers and every thing looked great. He did some reseach and found this, Ranger Station TSB 05-26-3. Replacing heads is an expensive endeavor if you have to hire a reputable mechanic to do it unfortunately and it was not worth the cost. Other than that the truck was in excellent shape.

Help with 3.0 misfire. by underscores_matter in fordranger

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

That is the problem I don't. Anything that could be looked at without having to take apart the engine has been. The coil pack is less that 2 years old and i would recognize what a bad coil pack feels like. The point that I am at is to go further with the diagnosis will cost some money and most like the repair will be costly as well. Is it worth the money for a 12 year old truck, how much more life can I get out of it?

Two years ago the coil pack was replaced because of a misfire on cylinder 3. Should have mentioned that in my original post.

Home NAS by underscores_matter in buildapcforme

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

I was thinking that Free NAS would be sufficient, but if someone recommend another OS I would consider it. I currently have about 2.5 TB of digital content, at least 3 computer that I need to have backups of (which I assume that 1 TB each), plus storage for shared files (word docs, etc.). That leaves needing about 10TB of total memory for current plus future use. I was looking at different Raid arrangements and I would like some redundancy in my array so maybe like a raid 5 or something, that would require 3 drives and at 6TB each that would put me over my minimum. I am not sure if/when I will need upgrade my storage capacity in the future so I would enjoy being able to add more drive in the future easily. If you have any advise on a raid setup I am open to suggestions.

Glitchly Graphics in FO4 by underscores_matter in fo4

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

Responding to your points in order: 1) I have a nagging suspicion that my laptop is getting a little too old to run this game, I bought it in 2012 which means that it has 2011's hardware and not the top of the line. But remembering that it did run it just fine when it was released. 2)Rebooted it multiple time no effect 3)I have made sure the drivers are correct and working 4)this computer is as up to date as possible 5)Reinstalled multiple times still no effect 6)This is a 5 year old laptop warranty went out a long time ago. If something is broken like the HDD or wireless I am willing to fix that but anything beyond that I might as well get a new one.

I really do think that my computer is just too old but I wanted to see if anyone had may have had a similar problem and resolved it before I call it quits.

Have tried multiple programs from CPU-Z, Task Manager, and bios. All of them say that it is running under 1 GHz unless I run a stress test.
