Thats a good one. My nephew who is an apprentice in the IBEW (he took my advise and is becoming an electrician first, before entering the AE field) was issued that book and CD. I reviewed it and found it to be pretty thorough. I keep the copy of Coxx’s ELECTRICIANS GUIDE TO CONDUIT BENDING

I too have been perplexed on the art of conduit bending. One of my favorite master electricians in CO suggested that I go online & get a DVD & book with tips & calcs that he makes available to his apprentices. Relatively cheap compared to experimenting/guessing - time & a pile of odd-looking

I usually do the bend and cut method, because it really is faster and EMT is cheap.  Look how much time you are already cooking doing research and exploring various apps, etc?  I too have wanted to be the cool pro, and bend to exact measurements, but alas, the sun is setting much sooner now,

Colleagues: I am always trying to improve my conduit bending skills. I came upon this scenario and need some input: I am bending stubs at less than 90 degrees. How do I calculate stub heights at less than 90 degrees? I am using the old bend-it-longer-and-cut-it-to-length method but that

I only have 2 years offgrid data Jay, but I would say it is definitely not at a higher voltage but rather a faster decline from what I have seen in the Australian University LFP testing. My home battery and the other 3 beta testers for the Schneider/LG testing are still at 99% State of life with

I have found that the voltage stays the same but the current and capacity drop. This is from only 6 cases. The fully charged voltage is the same but the energy stored is less. The power is less, meaning i can not get the same current On Fri, Nov 2, 2018, 6:10 AM Jay Hi all, > > As a lithium

Hi Dan, I have done similar in cold environments where the CC's are cool and in an offgrid mode where they really do not spend much time "clipping". This design goal is for winter when it is cloudy. I would never do this in a place that has a summer, in the deserts, or tied to the grid. Dave

Hi all, As a lithium battery ages, does the voltage keep it’s flat line steep curve but just start it’s drop at a higher voltage or does it have more of a gradual voltage drop? Thx Jay Peltz power. ___ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List
