Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

 

 

Single phase will read full line voltage between both lines, and half potential from line to ground/neutral.

An AC to DC conversion will require a power supply, not just a transformer.

All residential control voltages are AC. The only time you will see DC is if there are computerized controls, but the unit will have a power supply for this. Everything else will be AC with the step down transformer, or many just use 120 via the line to neutral.

All transformers have a power supply going in whatever the case may be..."to step up or step down"..

All will have a supply, but not a power supply.

 

They have to have a current to achieve the magnetic field to feed the secondary source.. If It's alternating current that here is 60 cycles per second can achieve a great "step down or step up voltage" because of the magnetic field it creates through  the winding's ..And a step down transformer for direct current has to have the appropriate resistors to create the magnetic field needed per ohm's law.. It does not cycle so it does not create the magnetic field like AC..

Think of AC like creating a magnetic force like kinda how earth does gravity...And DC has to have a pseudo magnetic field via resistors..

What I was getting at...I have done more of these then everybody combined in IHOP has had birthdays easy.

I knew what you meant. This is a simple multi-tap step-down transformer. For an AC to DC conversion, you need to rectify the waveform which would necessitate a power supply versus a transformer as you stated.

 

Correct brother! smile.png

Not even relative to what you posted.

Thanks Ryan.

It is bugging me, I must fix it.

No problem. I'll send ya a Yanks hat to wear to the game!

 

 

No need my son is a Yankee fan and guess what he will be wearing.

If you were closer I would detail your SUV and make it shine better than new.

Random question, what should I look for in a detailer, and what is a 'fair' price? Looking at a wash, clay barring, and a good wax. Plus the interior.

While it has been 'washed' a few times recently, she hasn't had a good thourough detailing aince I moved.

I could not answer that question, sorry. I am far took picky to let someone do mine.

Sooooo..... The power from my wall doesn't have a plug. Just wires in conduit.

Do I "need" to install a wall plug?

yes..a female 220 outlet.. You will have two hot legs that will read around 110-115 volt each and a ground hot legs should be black ground will be green and if they are a white that is your common" if it is used"
OMG, DUDE please don't do any electrical work.
Come on, it's only 220v. Everyone knows natural selection doesn't exist anymore. Wire away.

Hmm, just got notice that my LG G4 is on a UPS truck on the way to my house?

So much for the June 8th email T-mobile sent me. It better come either before 3 or after 4.

Oh snap!

You lucky dog!

There is a mail in rebate. To LG for a free extra battery 32gig card and extra charger.

128gb card...

That's from T Mobil. LG directly is doing the battery, charger and a 32 gig MicroSD

How do I get that?

So it's hard-wired versus a plug correct?

Yes. Is there a reason I cannot hard wire the new one?

Perhaps a code reason, but if you do it right you can ignore that too in MN.

Don't forget the polish.

And don't be a wuss. You live in FL, just do it some night.

Seriously J, you don't even need any power tools for what you describe.

A detail like that here at a place that sucks donkey would be in the $200 range. A place that actually cleans your car puts you in the $400 range.

If you pay someone you throw the money away IMO. First step in detailing a car is to decide you want to drive a detailed car. That of course means you fix it ALL the time. No more garbage in your truck, don't let ANY shit sit on the paint, and keep your carpet clean.

Otherwise, just take your truck to a good full service car wash and for $30 it'll be clean. With no tools and limited time you could use that as a start and then just 2 bucket handwash real fast followed by a wet clay and rewash. Throw on a sealer by hand and call it done. If you treat your car like shit there is no reason to do more than that. I'd hand polish first, but that is an extra step.

1) Pre-soak foam bath

2) Two bucket hand wash

3) Wheels, wheel wells, and tires thoroughly cleaned

4) Tires dressed

5) Inside gas door, door and trunk/hatch jambs thoroughly cleaned

6) Carefully hand/air dried

7) LIGHT paint decontamination using a fine grade clay bar

8) Premium wax applied to paint (Add sealant for extra longevity for $15)

9) Exterior plastic trim cleaned and dressed

10) Windows cleaned inside/out

 

 

 

Ultimate Interior Detail

This is a very thorough interior ONLY detail.  Every inch of your interior is meticulously cleaned, sanitized, and protected.  Please allow 4+ hours for this service. 

 

1) Thorough vacuum (all the nooks and crannies) of interior floors including trunk/hatch and under seats

2) Floor mats deep cleaned – shampoo/extraction

3) Deep clean (Shampoo/extraction) on carpet/cloth seats

4) Thorough cleaning and conditioning on leather seats

5) Thorough cleaning of interior hard surfaces (dash, door panels, vents, etc.)

6) Pet hair removal

7) Apply UV protectant to dash

8) Spot clean headliner

9) Clean and apply protectant to door jamb seals

10) Deodorize interior

11) Clean windows inside/out

 

$90-$180 determined upon inspection according to size of vehicle, amount/type of stains/odor, etc

In Florida you'll get weeks out of a wax. Like 10 if that.

Klasse High Gloss should be fine only done 2x a year.

Seems like it'd be hard for him to make a living at those rates.

If the city lets me build a garage it will have a drain and be ready for indoor winter car washes.

Haven't made a phone call yet so as long as it works as a phone I'd give the G4 a big hands up on the S6.

The leather is a little chincy.

I expect relatively crap feeling leather. That's ok. As long as it's not slippery.

I didn't struggle too much with a 6" screen, so I hope the 5.5 is perfect.
