[RE-wrenches] Contract Examples

Although, not a specifically a wrenching question, writing solid paperwork directly leads to turning the wrench. I am looking to update my contract small print. I'm updating a contract that has worked for 35 years, but it is highly reliant on a firm hand shake, so to speak. In summary, it

Alex: This is all about reducing risk. I include sections specifying that additional charges may apply if: -We are required to appear at a planning commission, historical preservation or other committee or create additional documents to respond to special requirements. -We hit bedrock or

[RE-wrenches] C-40 question

Wrenches, Sometimes I encounter a situation that I have never encountered, simply because it's so far beyond normal limits that I would never try it to find out what would happen. Here's one. A did-it-myself customer called me for batteries for his system. I

Re: [RE-wrenches] C-40 question

Allan, Just to add to Larry's post, a 100W 12V nominal' module would put out about 5.9A, assuming that it's really a 100W module and has a Vmp of 17VDC. So 12 of them should be about 70-71A. The C-40 is not MPPT, so there is no amperage boost. Luckily, the C-40 is actually rated for a max

[RE-wrenches] GNB Absolyte request - two questions.

Wrenches, For years, Direct Power has sold used GNB Absolyte II sealed batteries, shipped in from Canada from telecom use. The batteries have a pretty good reputation - at least, I haven't heard of short remaining lifetimes from customers who have bought them.

Re: [RE-wrenches] C-40 question

Because it is not 80 amps current flowing, it is a capacity of 80 amps. Think of it this way. Your toaster is plugged into an outlet that is powered by the grid. The grid has infinite capacity. Why doesn't your toaster explode? Because it takes the current it needs. Now, increase the voltage and

Re: [RE-wrenches] C-40 question

Huh? The equipment does not take or draw anything. The electrical pressure of the source, called voltage, forces electrons through the load. Electrons per unit time are called current. The current is only limited by the resistance of the load, in accord with Ohms Law. The resistance of the load
