Labour Saving and General Guntering

Lads, would someone here be able to help a lad with welder problems, fuses tripping while welding?

If someone can, then I may get it transferred in here for more replies.

Cheers:)

Wonder has he tried it on a different circuit??
I’ve seen mcb’s degrade over time and become over sensitive, ran us in rings before changing the mcb and problem sorted.

There's a use for everything, even a vegan !

Isn't magnificent though ?

Getting derailed but the vegans have pictures and video up of a laois fellas calf barrow promoting their agenda.
I'd love to God if he'd have a copyright on the pictures and sue their ass to kingdom come.

vegans n milk n stuff lol


off topic but important

poor sunlight & not eating much wild fish and and

= not getting enough Vitamin D

= your own immune system will go on the rampage

= you'll be getting Type 1 diabetes n Lupus n all sorts

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5541280/


The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been doubling every 20 years.

In Finland, the recommendation for daily vitamin D supplementation was gradually reduced from 4000-5000 IU in 1964 to 400 IU in 1992.

Concomitantly, Type 1 diabetes increased by 350% in those aged 1-4 years, 100% in those aged 5-9 years, and 50% in those aged 10-14 years .

However, since 2006, Type 1 diabetes has plateaued and decreased after an increase in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) after the authorities’ decision to fortify all dietary milk products with cholecalciferol

Not exactly guntering but I had to replace a light and repair another on the tractor today. Worked in a factory where we wired machines from scratch so learned fron the lads there how to use the proper wire trimmers and end crimpers.
Handy to have the tools to be able to replace all the diferent types of ferrules like below. A much tidier and safer way to doing things. Crimpers don't cost a fortune either.

Kind of related to above.

The last few times I've bought capacitors they have no wire wired in just two tabs sticking out. So now I have to go look for wire and two crimpers to attach it to the capacitor.
Don't know if it's money saving on the manufacturers part but it's a nuisance.
Should have left the wires wired in.

Big difference between these two buckos

I use the lower one.

Is the top one better?
It's cleaner so I'm wondering if you use it at all.

Muckit

Ha ha!! I always used the bottom one until l came on the bee knees one on top. I only bought it last year.

There's no comparison. You'll never get a great crimp with the bottom one. The top one crimps along the full length of terminal sleeve and no fear of over crimping. It is also ratcheted and will hold terminal as you line up wires.

gctest50

These are nice, they heatshrink and are glue-lined

decent wire strippers a must too instead of trying to use pliers

patsy_mccabe

These are the ones I have. Left one is for bootlace type ferrules. Say if you are using screw in type connectors. Mid one is like Muckits above and the right one is a handy little wire stripper.
This is all probably bread and butter to an electrician but anyway.

Muckit

They look the business in fairness. These are in my toolbox. Do the job

Yes get that bottom one and bin it, they do more harm than good and are probably directly resposible for most machinery fires.

The brass connectors with no insulation in the front of Patsy's picture need a different crimpers but they make the strongest connections when used right.

Machinery fires

Isolator maybe ? stick a resistor across it so your radio will remember all it's stations

While an isolator is useful, Do you think you are quick enough to stop tractor isolate battery and extinguish that electrical fire that's already taking hold under your cab while you were consantrating on something else? Think I still want good wiring even with an isolator installed.

emaherx

Here is the crimpers I use most. Only use the other type if I can't get the connector type/size with this fitting.

How will resistor work. Will it not let magic smoke out if you turn key while switch is off.

Bypassing the isolator defeats the purpose. Any safe(ish) bypass has to have some sort of compromise. Much better to get a radio with non volitile memory.

I have the bottom one and was very happy with how much better it is than a Stanley knife .

Muckit

Yes that's about all they are good at!

Lads any of ye have a plasma cutter? Half thinking of biting the bullet on a cheapo chinese one and taking the risk. Or could you recommend a brand.
Want one that will cut 12mm plate, I have a 200l compressor and single phase. Cheers
