Monday Overnight Open Thread (12/19/16)
On this day in 1998, President William Clinton is impeached.
After nearly 14 hours of debate, the House of Representatives approves two articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, charging him with lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice. Clinton, the second president in American history to be impeached, vowed to finish his term.He did finish his second term. But, his wife will never be POTUS. And that's alright with The ONT.
Quotes Of The Day Quote I
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George SantayanaQuote II
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston ChurchilQuote III
Under socialism all will govern in turn and will soon become accustomed to no one governing. Vladimir LeninWhat a crock of shit, Vlad. Quote IV
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money. Margaret Thostaer
Venezuela is going to hell in a hand-basket. Thank you Socialists. Lessons to be learned from Venezuela's collapse.
First, Socialism never works. From Korea, Russia, Africa, to Latin America, it has never worked. But people keep wanting it. Venezuela has had a bad decade with their socialist experiment and within the last year the final domino has fallen. Their economy is in meltdown. When the price of oil plummeted, Venezuela could no longer afford their socialist programs and the state-controlled industries failed. The second bad idea is an economic “solution” that has always failed: Venezuela kept printing money so they could pay for everything their socialist experiment demanded. Of course, Venezuela went the way of every other country that has tried devaluing their currency—hyperinflation has completely wrecked the economy. Venezuela’s currency inflated so fast that they couldn’t afford to buy more paper and ink to print more.
Hey look, mister, we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast and we don’t need any characters around to give the joint atmosphere. Is that clear or do I have to slip you my left for a convincer?My how times have changed. Look young man, we serve pansy ass drinks in here for men and transmen who want to sip their drinks. Buttery Nipple my ass.
Clarence, George names of the past. Popular baby names over the past 100+ years. Funny, Misanthropic was never a contender.
Don't care to cater a gay wedding? Why that's homophobic. Refusing to photograph a gay wedding? Why that's illegal! Religious beliefs be damned.
But, refusing service based upon political beliefs? That appears to be just fine and dandy. And it's just not the swanky upper class punishing people because of their political beliefs. It's also occurring in every day necessities of life.
Marc Jacobs, who has also dressed — you guessed it — Michelle Obama, wants nothing to do with Melania: I have no interest whatsoever in dressing Melania Trump. I didn’t see [Sophie Theallet’s] letter. Personally, I’d rather put my energy into helping out those who will be hurt by [Donald] Trump and his supporters.”Tonight's Musical Interlude
“Federal safety guidelines for playgrounds, which were created in 1981, began to limit their use. The older seesaws were wooden planks that often hit asphalt directly, leading to occasional tailbone and spinal injuries, falls and pinched fingers, not to mention splinters. Children could slam each other by dismounting suddenly. Playgrounds that retained old seesaws were exposed to lawsuits.”
And yet, there is real value to children who play on a seesaw. “Seesaws are excellent at encouraging collaborative play and patience, as they require coordination and balance between two different children to work. Core upper body strength and lower body strength are developed as a child moves the seesaw up and down,” the folks at School Outfitters explain. Kids can gain essential understanding of the mechanics of fulcrums by playing on a seesaw, as How Things Work author David Macaulay has noted. And Stephen Wills, the author of Power through Collaboration loves what a seesaw can teach.

I am not into the fashion, but I have seen women knock me dead by wearing this or that dress. Even with the... difficulties inherent in Michelle's... physique, you'd think they could find a way to dress her to make her look at least pretty. She comes across like a linebacker in a dress made of couch material.

Seems the young video crew couldn't be bothered to listen to Jerry (who was already cranky) when they were setting up the shoot in his home in Las Vegas, and Jerry decided to reciprocate when the cameras were rolling.
On top of that, the interviewer (a) asks a ton of *dumb* questions he would have already known the answers to, and how to follow up on, if he had just read Lewis' Wiki page and had a bit of respect for him; and when Jerry gets nervous, the interviewer nervously resorts to asking a ton of simple "yes or no" questions, which Jerry never fails to answer with just "yes" or "no." LOL.
Alls I knows is, I love it. Hey genius? When a legend asks you to do something to *make his interview more comfortable,* LISTEN and DO IT. Geezaloo.

There was a young lady named Bright,
Whose speed was far faster than light,
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned the previous night.

It's a really good drink, especially if you stick to Rye. But it is a maddening drink, because it gives the feeling that it could be perfect, if only you got everything just right, and I never have.

no ice, and no bubbles. just sip it. the water drops the proof a bit, so the alcohol doesn't lock up your taste buds. ice deadens them as well, hence no ice.
same for rum, etc.
vodka? who cares? straight shots from the freezer or mixed.

As I recall, legend was that the Soviets had constant problems with their tank crewmen drinking brake and hydraulic fluid used in their armored vehicles because they were alcohol-based fluids.

When I first saw that, I saw "Whu...Bill's an elector?" but then I remembered I knew that and had read something about Bill being appointed to the NY Dem slate of electors.
He was hoping to make some big production of it when Hillary won. They may have even been hoping to rig something where Bill's vote would put her over the top. Don't know if they could have done that exactly. They could have probably rigged it, by coordinating with the other states (if enough state officials would've gone along with it) to allow NY to put her over the top to 270. And then Bubba could made some deal to be the 270th vote.
But it was all Trumped to the dust bin of history.

Colloidal silver impregnated cloth is used for dressing large open wounds and is quite effective. It's also fairly easy to make it yourself as long as you have a spare Ron Paul silver dime, there's plenty of how-to youtube videos on it. Also also, some people take it internally for reasons I don't understand, but it is a thing.

no ice, and no bubbles. just sip it. the water drops the proof a bit, so the alcohol doesn't lock up your taste buds. ice deadens them as well, hence no ice.
same for rum, etc.
vodka? who cares? straight shots from the freezer or mixed.
========
I learned my whiskey drinking when I was in a pipe band.
Single malt, room temp, alternate with small sips of room temp water, that way the alcohol won't numb the taste buds and the whiskey stretchs longer. Which is a good thing at these prices.

And yet we're okay, because I've had a shit-ton of overtime pretty much all year.
But election night lifted a weight off my chest I barely knew was there. I'd been losing sleep, my BP spiked a lot, my appetite waned. I did not fully realize just how much the thought of the Beast being elected was gnawing at me.
But. All is well. I sleep better, and my desire to vaporize shitty drivers has slacked somewhat.
Plus I managed to shovel my driveway last weekend without dying. It's the little things.

I looked it up. It wasn't Putin himself who claimed it was the West behind the assassination of the ambassador, but a Russian senator who was the deputy chairman of the "defense and security" committee of the Russian senate, a Putin lackey.
He said it could be ISIS, or the Kurds, but it is most likely a "representative of the foreign NATO secret services" behind it. He vowed that this will make Russia determined to annihilate the terrorists in Syria opposing Russian forces.

To which I thought "who would I like to fall in love with me?"
And... I had no answer. Nothing. Completely blank.
Then, because I obviously need frequent psychotherapy, I thought, "yeah, maybe the ex-boss who is a chronic liar. I'd wouldn't mind him falling in love with me just so I could reject him and consequently destroy him emotionally."
Question for the horde: if you were single, who would you want to fall in love with you and why?

Russian news is reporting that the US has offered to help Turkey and Russia with the investigation of the assassination this morning.
And one funny thing I hadn't noticed before. The Russian transliteration of Trump, for some reason, would be pronounced "tramp" in English. Not sure why they don't use a "u" (they have one, though it's always a long one, as in "chute"). So, it's soon to be President Tramp for Russian news consumers.

I hope Ivanka designs Melania's inaugural gown. It would be great if it was modestly priced and something ordinary women could buy themselves. The pink dress Ivanka wore at the Convention (which cost something like $150.) was lovely and sold like hotcakes afterward.
It would serve these designers right if they realized that they were missing a huge opportunity by refusing to dress a supermodel First Lady.
I'm sure none of them had any problems accepting orders from Melania before Trump ran for President.

Ladies have a tendency to make lists of qualities. I don't think guys do that.
Anyway, I've made lists in the past, and none of them worked. Two of the most important things that Mr. Deplorable did for me never appeared on any list - he brought me closer to God and closer to my family. So I don't even try to do the list thing.
I do recall wishing that I could meet a man who would teach me about wine. Mr. D did that.
I suppose if I had to make a wish about the next one (whenever I may be ready to kill off another husband), I would hope he could teach me how to shoot.

Fashionista said they weren't going to cover Melania at all. Fascist, racist, homo/transphobic, genocide and all that. They said Melania had some big fashion shoes to fill following Mooch. They said that.
Anyway, they got some snooty digs at Melania, calling her a low-end model, and that she wore "off the rack" clothes. It was hilarious.
To compare her and Mooch, well there's no comparison. Yet they all pretended Mooch was some sort of super model fashion plate.

Anyway, I've made lists in the past, and none of them worked. Two of the most important things that Mr. Deplorable did for me never appeared on any list - he brought me closer to God and closer to my family. So I don't even try to do the list thing.
I do recall wishing that I could meet a man who would teach me about wine. Mr. D did that.
I suppose if I had to make a wish about the next one (whenever I may be ready to kill off another husband), I would hope he could teach me how to shoot.

I suppose it is a matter of pride to create a 15 grand designer dress, but how many can you sell? 12 in a lifetime if you are lucky, and probably not that many since I would guess a lot of the ladies that can dump that sort of money on a dress all know each other
But a dress the first lady wore that is $200? You could get rich that way, and have fun doing it too. Every hausfrau would want one, and would be happy for the cut and want a flattering color too.

Better idea? Mulled ale.
My Wassail recipe:
In a crock pot add 5 bottles of brown ale, half a bottle of Madeira, a sliced blood orange and a bitters soaked spice bag of whole cloves, whole allspice, crystallized ginger, and cinnamon.
Separately core four apples/pears and fill them with brown sugar and honey and a sixth bottle of brown ale and bake them in the oven. When done, combine in the crock pot.

Ni's Cure temp is fairly low, 671F.
Well, I see that pure Gd is "believed to be" ferromagnetic, with a Curie temperature of just 68F. So "room temperature" is sort of iffy, there.
Metallurgy, and the crystals structure thereof are quite complex. For example, adding nickel to stainless steel, the typical "18-8" class of stainlesses, meaning roughly 18% chromium and 8% nickel, are non-ferromagnetic. Adding that 8% Ni changes the room temp matrix to "austenite", which is the non-magnetic solid phase of iron.
You want to see something complicated, look at the Fe-C phase diagram, Fe-C being known as "steel" in some percentages. It is crazy complex. Now, add other elements, and you've got a complex system indeed.

Rather than one solid phase, they all have mixtures of various solid phases in them generally.
IIRC, a mixture of pure iron to a "steel" with a very tiny carbon percentage will undergo 3 solid phase changes before melting to a liquid as you heat it. The first will be ferrite to austenite, alpha to gamma. Then there will be another phase change, gamma to delta, and delta is again ferromagnetic, I believe. Then it melts.
Liguid iron is only paramagnetic. But "in practice", they'll usually be some ferrite in there, sort of solids floating around, usually on the surface and you'll get some ferromagnetic behavior from that.

It'll be a little lonely, but I know I'll get through it and probably still have some fun.

Ni's Cure temp is fairly low, 671F.
Well, I see that pure Gd is "believed to be" ferromagnetic, with a Curie temperature of just 68F. So "room temperature" is sort of iffy, there.
Metallurgy, and the crystals structure thereof are quite complex. For example, adding nickel to stainless steel, the typical "18-8" class of stainlesses, meaning roughly 18% chromium and 8% nickel, are non-ferromagnetic. Adding that 8% Ni changes the room temp matrix to "austenite", which is the non-magnetic solid phase of iron.
You want to see something complicated, look at the Fe-C phase diagram, Fe-C being known as "steel" in some percentages. It is crazy complex. Now, add other elements, and you've got a complex system indeed.

I thought it was marvelous when I found an old-time recipe for hardening steel: heat it until it glows and magnets no longer stick to it, then drop into a metal bucket of motor oil. The fact that magnets won't stick to sufficiently heated steel is intriguing.

Just go survey all of the Postal Match entries for their status and age, and you're off to the races!
In my life, the problem hasn't been finding a "good woman", I've done okay there.
It's my lack or failure in finding one who is not just giving me the ol' "go along to get along", when I describe my life of motorcycling the USA, living on a sailboat, hunting and outdoorsmanship, and a bit of minimalism, in that I find the slavery of a mortgage to be an abhorrence. I'd much rather save up to buy land, and build with my own hands, than to give most of my life's earnings to a frikkin' lender.
But, I'm batting 0.00%, they've all ended up wanting the wee cottage, white picket fence, etc. And they want some tame "retiree" guy, clipping roses in his cardigan sweater, just like on the retirement village brochures.
Just shoot me, bleh!
Much as I've enjoyed working and rebuilding the house here after Hurricane Ike, I also know that I'll not want to be doing this again, moving from here to a new house, wherever.
Next house for me, will be a seaworthy one, again. Should I be so blessed as to find a 1st mate for that endeavor, it'd be a blessing.

No, Miley. My oven died Thanksgiving morning. Bought a new stove/oven. Was delivered on Saturday. Delivery guys get here, and after they get the old stove out ask if I have a cord to plug it in. Whaaa! I guess these days there are 2 types of 220 outlets. A 3 prong and 4 prong. Sales person never mentioned it. Anyway, got that straightened out. The guys took some sort of blue strapping tape off the top of the oven door and it didn't come off all the way. It was only 25 outside. So had to do some scrubbing before I turned on the oven for the first time. Not my best experience buying a new appliance.

For it to work, you've got have enough carbon in there. Low carbon steel will not work. When you heat steel above that magnetic temp, it phase changes to austenite, with carbon in solid solution. I think. Look at the Fe-C phase diagram.
Now, when you quench, you cool it so fast that the normal phase change back to ferrite can't happen. "Annealing" is cooling slow enough to allow the minimum energy state, the natural state it "wants" to be in, to form. How fast, or slow this take depends on the material. Copper can be annealed by heating it cherry red, then quenching with water. It only "work hardens".
When you quench steel, you form "martensite", which is the high-energy crystal formed when it doesn't have time to settle in to the normal state it wants to.
Tempering is re-heating to allow some phase change to take place and relieve stress. Depending on things, the just-quenched structure is very brittle and under enormous internal stress.
Note that austenite and martensite are named after famous metallurgists would figured all this shit out.

I followed on that path for a time, but settled with Boilermakers. No cheap beer and a good bourbon.
I was at a bar/restaurant in Hamilton, Bermuda once. I was in Bermuda doing some work for the Navy. 1979. I ordered a Jim Beam and the owner said he found a case of pre-prohibition Beam in the cellar. It was delicious, but he wouldn't sell me a bottle or two.

There used to be an exception to the NEC, specifically put in for residential ranges and dryers that allowed "grounding to a neutral".
Grounding to a current neutral defeats the whole purpose of a seperate safety ground. But it was allowed, because it was lobbied for, and thought not to be as much of a hazard as grounding to the neutral of a 120V plug-in device like hand tools.
You'll note that a standard NEMA 5-15R receptable and plug has "two grounds". One is a current carrying neutral, and the other is safety ground.
A 240V only device has two current carrying wires, which happen to be hot most of the time, and one safety ground. A 120/240V device has two hot wires, a neutral, and a safety ground.

got that straightened out. The guys took some sort of blue strapping
tape off the top of the oven door and it didn't come off all the way. It
was only 25 outside. So had to do some scrubbing before I turned on the
oven for the first time. Not my best experience buying a new appliance.

I normally salvage it off the old one -- it's usually not the part that wears out.
Posted by: cthulhu at December 20, 2016 01:03 AM (EzgxV)
Thought about that. But the old one has electrical problems and I didn't want to chance it for $23 bucks. It was an old stove.
Posted by: Infidel at December 20, 2016 01:06 AM (a62hT)
There used to be an exception to the NEC, specifically put in for residential ranges and dryers that allowed "grounding to a neutral".
Grounding to a current neutral defeats the whole purpose of a seperate safety ground. But it was allowed, because it was lobbied for, and thought not to be as much of a hazard as grounding to the neutral of a 120V plug-in device like hand tools.
You'll note that a standard NEMA 5-15R receptable and plug has "two grounds". One is a current carrying neutral, and the other is safety ground.
A 240V only device has two current carrying wires, which happen to be hot most of the time, and one safety ground. A 120/240V device has two hot wires, a neutral, and a safety ground.

So, you have to convert the new appliance to 3-wire, which you do by changing a bonding strap (or wire)to ground the frame to the neutral pole on the terminal block inside.
Old installations used to use SE cable for the range, and 10/3 without ground for dryers. Which is likely what you have if your house was built before the 90s, whenever they took out the exception.

Here's a simple DC way to see it. Take two 12V batteries. Put them in series. In the middle, the + to - junction connecting the two batteries, bring that terminal out for a third wire. You now have a 12/24VDC three wire system. The middle wire is electrically "neutral" because the voltage from all points sums to zero away from it. In field theory terms, it is "uncharged" because of this. It's like the middle plane of a dipole field.
Note that is positive to one side and negative to the other side. You have 24V between the ends, and 12V between either end and the middle.
It's that simple. Now, this neutral point is "grounded". Which means it is literally connected to the dirt, the earth. This connection is known as "system grounding" in the parlance. Ground is also a safety thing, and safety grounding is the connecting of all exposed metallic conducting parts to a common system to prevent any voltage from accidentally developing between those parts. Now, we connect this safety grid to the dirt, "earth" as well as our "system ground", the one side, or pole of an electrical system we create.
This matrix is "ground".

Neutral and ground are together until the Service entrance point, per NEC rules, with some complications and exceptions.
The neutral and ground buss are "bonded" at the main panel, the thing with the first main breaker or fuses in them. Thereafter, they must be separate.
If you pull a subpanel off that main panel, you go "4-wire", with a separate neutral and ground. And you do not bond the ground bus, if provided, to the neutral.

There was a time, when homes didn't have a stove outlet. There was just a hunk of armored cable coming up out of the floor, with red, white, and black wires in it. And you connected those wires to the corresponding screw terminals on the rear of the stove.
Then came three-prong range plugs, followed by 4-prong range plugs.
Appliance manufacturer doesn't know if your home was built in the '40's, '80's, or oughties. So easier to have the customer buy the required cord (if needed), separately.

Pearlite is the eutectoid mixture of iron and carbon, I think, as it itself a mixture of ferrite and cementite, Fe3C. That's an iron-carbon compound, a "carbide", which is really a ceramic. Pearlite is those two things making a structure that resembles "pearl" in some way, hence pearlite.
Now, when you have less carbon total than that ratio, you get "free ferrite" in the structure. When you have more carbon, you get something else. :-)
Anyway, mild steel is that hypoeutectoid mixture of carbon and iron, which has pearlite and free ferrite.
Oh, and eutectoid is not to be confused with eutectic, which has to do with mixtures in the liquid phase and is important too.
At some point a little above 2% C, steel becomes "cast iron".

subpanel, where, IIRC, the double oven (Thermador CM302) took 50 amps

-------------------
Would you believe 200A service is getting a bit on the small side, now. Some of the Mcmansions they were building when I got out of it were coming it at 400A (note if 225A is not big enough and the load calc comes to say 270A, the next size up is 400A).
The trouble is the NEC load calculation is very liberal, erring on the side of caution. You'll see the power companies use a much more conservative and realistic estimate when the size the transformer.
And in high density subdivisions, they like to use a honking huge 100KVA or so transformer and pull a shit ton of services off it. The problem with that is the fault current can be so large, especially on a short service drop, that it exceeds the 10kA rating of the residential service equipment.
A short range run of #6, coming off a main panel fed by one of these monsters can produce more than 10kA fault current at the range. And that shit has happened. Service equipment, rated 10kA, blew on a hard range fault.
I remember reading some caution they sent out about that.

I've been out of the game too long to have kept up. Arc-fault was just becoming a thing when I got out of it.
Basically, in just about every way, I'm stuck in the '90s. If I was going to wire a new house now, I'd have to do a bunch of reading of the latest shit. Well, the last thing I did was rig a new little service for a buddy, and it passed inspection no problem, but that wasn't residential.
There's nothing I love more than wiring, but this damned arthritis has ended that for real work. I do what's fun when I feel like it.

Arc faults are supposed to be the next thing, last I heard. Instead of $3 per breaker, you will be required to use $30 breakers.
And don't change a light bulb with the switch in the on position, or you'll have to reset the breaker...

I have a mess of wiring to do here. Some will be "new work", and some will be repairing damaged/stolen wiring in the existing structure.
Can room lighting and convenience outlets be on the same breaker, provided the total load doesn't exceed the breaker rating? Can an outside light be on the same breaker as interior convenience outlets? I know outside outlets, and there will be some, should be on GFCI's. I will probably want to have those outlets switched from inside the house, so roaches cannot steal power when I am away.

An oven (double or not) would be a 40 or 50 amp circuit. Any respectable guy runs 6 and puts it on a 50 amp breaker.
Publius, any truth to the rumor that ALL home breakers will be required to be arc fault next year?
Bedrooms require it here, last time I dealt with the code nazis.

I'm of two minds about code nazis. Title 24, the bullshit "non-incandescent on first switch" thing, is psychedelic screaming crap.
On the other hand, I experienced the 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, which caused 63 [42 of which on the "Cypress Structure" of I-880, where I'd cringed while driving earlier] deaths and 3,757 injuries. In 2003, a 6.6 earthquake hit the city of Bam, Iran, causing >26271 deaths and >30000 injuries.
I would attribute the three orders of magnitude difference in death rate from a lesser earthquake largely to building codes.

Sure, lights & receptacles can be on the same circuit. And sure, indoor/outdoor doesn't matter one bit.
A good rule of thumb is 10 devices per circuit (that's on the way safe side).
Recetacles, switches, lights, fans, etc count as a device. It's your house - one room per circuit, even if it's only 5 receptacles, one switch & 1 ceiling light - will be overkill that'll make you happy. Easy to isolate a room, too.
Wire everything with 12ga & 20 amp breakers just to go overboard.

So, when the state/local adopts the 2014 NEC, that will be required.
I'm also not too up on the latest technology, and I'm looking. The earliest ones couldn't detect a series arc -- well, it was all involved, but the newer technology does attempt to detect an arc's "signature" (an arc does have a reliable signature in the current waveform.
A brief arc, such as plugging or unpluggin something under load is not supposed to trip them, per the standards. So briefly screwing a light bulb in shouldn't do it, unless you take your time doing it.

Copper is cheap, and labor is expensive.....but there are exceptions.
I'm going to switch trades because it's easier to illustrate....the hot water supply line to the laundry room should be tiny.....because that will have it get hot faster. If it's a 1" line, it could take 3 gallons before you're drawing from hot water, and the clothes washer will already be almost full.

However, and this was something my boss at the time like to do, and I got to liking it, was to keep lights and recepts on different circuits. THe reason was to make lighting circuits 15A, with #14 wire. You don't really notice voltage drop on lights if it's not too bad, and doing wads of multi-gang switch setups with 3- and 4-way is much easier with #14 wire than #12.
Now loading. Figure about "180VA" per "outlet". Now, continuous load can be only 80% of the branch circuit rating (with some additional complexity and all that, but you'd have to go on for pages). Note, that 80% of 20A is 16A and 80% of 15A is 12A.
So max continuous load is 12A on a 15A circuit, and 16A on a 20A circuit. 12*120/180 = 8 and 16*120/180 = 10.67
So that's a max of 8 "outlets" on a 15A circuit and 10 on a 20A circuit.
That's how I did it. I put 8 lights per 15 "lighting circuit" and 10 receptacle per 20A "receptacle" circuit. On the plans, I'd divide them up, them walk through and see if there was anything in the way of that by way how we'd have to bore holes and pull wire. That would sometimes change things.
Now, the exception was flood light circuits, which were long, usually, and people would generally put a shit ton of wattage on those things. That was #12 and it's own circuit, and maybe two if there were a shit ton of them specified.

Thanks. That helps. I will also be using 240 volt electric baseboard heaters. One each for the two bedrooms, likely three in the trailer, circa 600 square feet, and maybe two in the front room that's about 12X22. Bathrooms likely will get wall-mount fan heaters. No central air, no central heat. Probably a dedicated 20 amp outlet or two in each living space for window-mount air conditioners.
Heh. Maybe I should opt for 120 volt baseboard heaters, and put the dedicated A/C receptacle on the same circuit. Not like they would ever be used together...

That makes sense to me, and in this house, the lighting and outlets can be quite physically remote. One advantage would be, if I accidentally overload a circuit, and pop the breaker, the room isn't plunged into darkness.
My security lights are already wired. I could get by with three lighting circuits: east bedroom plus front room plus one bath plus two small outside porch lights - six lights, maybe seven. West bedroom plus bath plus "hall" light, 5 lamps. Trailer section would have one lighting circuit. Garage would be the fourth. It's going to get a hundred-amp sub-panel.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 20, 2016 02:49 AM (MiBfH)
Stick with the 220 heaters. Efficiency being the reason. I can't see you using them much, but the cost of materials should be almost equaL (a roll of 12/2 & a few beeakers). Your first electric bill alone should pay for any difference in thermostats & breakers.

Yeah, I know 220 is more efficient. I will just run separate 20 amp 120 volt lines for likely A/C outlets. Fortunately, the layout is such that one such outlet in each room will be within reach of any window likely to get an A/C unit. Trailer section, I'm not sure about. Only the ends are exposed, and no room for window air in either end. I have one old RV roof air unit. Maybe mount that above the kitchen, and rig ducts to bring air to/from the condenser coils?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 20, 2016 03:01 AM (MiBfH)
Here's a little quick and dirty calculation to show you how it goes. Losses goes as I^2*R, where R is the resistance of the wiring. Now, hold R fixed. For a given load power P, the load current goes as I = P/V. Plug that in.
Losses = P*R/V^2. Your loss is inverse to the *square* of the operating voltage. Double the voltage, the loss goes down by a factor of four.
Now, to get fancy, you can say, with higher voltage, we can use less wire, and ask what are acceptable voltage drops and all that. When you do, you'll reproduce things they've known for over 100 years. :-)
Now, with power companies, the longer a run, the more load you pick up.
A rule of thumb for distribution is "1kV per mile". Note that with power lines coming from a substation, you have a circle and the larger the radius, the area is going as the square.
But it works out to 1kV per mile of actual distribution line. And that pretty much holds. Which voltage line to line or line to neutral(ground). Well, if you balance it, it's the former.
And so you can get a higher effective voltage with a 3-phase system than the line to ground voltage you have to insulate against. To a point and if done right.
When you've got 480V available, you'd be amazed at the size of motors you can run off even #12 circuits.

Oh yeah. I'm up on Ohm's Law, and the formula for power loss. My rural line back in Alberta is 15 kV, one-wire, with ground return. Single-phase, of course. I have a transformer on my pole to step it down to 240 volts for the house and outbuildings.

Posted by: Hillary Clinton at December 20, 2016 03:16 AM (rH4JY)
A BFD. 3-phase distribution would be needed, and the requirements for a 480V service are more strict than a regular residential service. The equipment has to be rated for the higher voltage, and they don't make cheap residential stuff at that voltage. It's much more expensive.
You could do it. But believe me, it would be quite difficult. You'd need to step it down with your own transformers to get any 120V at all, because they don't make 277V volt household stuff you plug in the wall.
Now, about voltages, 440 vs 460V vs 480V which is the same as 220 vs 230V vs 240V, aka 110 vs 115 vs 120.
Note all voltages are a multiple of some base, which is either 110, 115, or 120V. Even the high voltage up in kV are based on these multiples. You get either an integral mulitple, or one involving the square root of three, which comes from the three-phase relations.
The standard base that motors are based on is 115V. Now, a standard rule for induction motors (and most of them) is the voltage range can be +/-10%. That is, a motor meeting NEMA (in the US) standards will run correctly and deliver rated output without overheating if the terminal voltage is within 10% of the nameplate rated voltage.
For 230V (or 460V, times 2), that is 207V - 257V.
Now, for a standard type (and this changed with high efficiency motors) a "sweet spot" on the motor's curve was +5%. A motor would draw the least running current for a given load (well, near full load) at about +5%. Note that is about 240V for a 230V rated motor.
Now, most supply systems used the 120V as the base.
So, the loads are designed for 115V base, and the supply is designed for 120V base. This gives you voltage drop room. And a nice sweet spot for you motors, if you don't have too much drop.
Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at December 20, 2016 03:18 AM (DW+jj)
You actually want a little lower than rated voltage for incadescent lights! So they are rated 120V to match the standard supply base. And a trick is to use 130V rated bulbs. THey'll be dimmer looking, but they last so much longer.
They also mandated higher efficiency well before they banned 100W. This meant the filament had to run at a higher temperature. This was like a lower rated filament being run at a higher voltage. On purpose. The efficiency in terms of lumens per watt goes up with voltage. It gets brighter and whiter. But the life drops dramatically.
Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at December 20, 2016 03:23 AM (DW+jj)
Now, for that reason they make 200V rated motors (note 200V is the square root of three times 115V). This is the proper 115V base voltage multiplier.
You can get away with it, and people do as long as your motor is not at full load.
And you'll note small motors starting across the line don't jerk as much when you have a 230V motor running on 208V. But at full load, you're pushing it.
I wired my shop for 3-phase back in the late 90s. 208Y/120V. I wanted a high-leg, but Duke wouldn't run those anymore without some special circumstance. DIdn't like 'em at all.
So, I used some booster transformers to get 240V for those single phase 230V motors I had a bunch of. And since I had it, the new three-phase stuff I got 230V motors there as well. Since I had it.
Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at December 20, 2016 03:29 AM (DW+jj)
The standard distribution voltages that Duke uses here are
12,470Y/7200V and twice that 25Y/14.4kV. 7200V phase to ground and 12, 470V phase-to-phase. You can tell the difference easily as the insulators are twice as big. On ends, they use a type called "bells". They use about twice as many "bells" on the 14.4kV circuits.
They use the latter out in the deep country, and the lower closer to town. Now, there are other voltages used in the cities, especially for some older underground stuff, but for pole wiring, it's usually one of those two.
Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at December 20, 2016 03:34 AM (DW+jj)
The oddball 12.5kV comes from the square root of three, which is inherent to 3-phase. You make the phase to ground an integral multiple, and you get the oddball phase to phase. And vice versa.
480V are either 3-wire deltas or wyes, 480Y/277V. The integral multiple is the phase to phase, 4*120V and the oddball is the phase to neutral, 277V.
