Dunno why I found this so damn hilarious


Maybe cause I'm a whack ass hoe of a sensitive bitch

 

My favorite, glass work.

 

It amazes me that even the stairs are fiberglass

 

same

 

That cart looks like it was made for the welder

 

1 final down

brain is only kinda ded

 

Right?

This thing wouldn't have fit (width-wise) several available carts.

The Vulcan was a perfect fit.

And like I told Jimmie, I got some Romex 8 gauge copper as well as my receptacle.

 

@Abeyancer it be like that sometimes lol

I guess because its not a constant load. But ik most breaks arnt design to run more then 80% of its limit for long periods of time. I wonder what that welder pulls

 

Happens often enough I can barely laugh at that without crying

 

Dumb bitch opened her door into me (I just got in my LC 30 seconds before) and I heard a tap.

She hit my slider; completely forgot I had them installed still

 

Only trail damage they ever gunna get

 

That also depends on if it's fully rated or not. NEC says continuous use is rated for 80% but ALL breakers are designed to be run at 100% total ampacity. If it's not fully rated breakers (most standard panels are not) the NEC says you're allowed to use the breaker from 80% to 100% for a max of 3hrs

 

Yeah i was just curious if his weld was saying you need a 50A breaker it it pulls 50A
Temperature matters too.

i seen 200A breakers trip at 50amps just because they were far above their ambient temp rating

 

Fuuuuuuuuuu

Supposedly a replacment motor for the $300 compressor I got is like $1000 7.5hp

Considering just getting an Amazon cheapo 5hp and putting a bigger pulley to spin the pump slower

 

I think because of in rush is why it's rated at 50A. When I load tested an old Lincoln at my last shop it was pulling between 42 and 47 under load with a continuous bead with 3/8 steel but they're all alittle different. If he was welding 8hrs continuously then he would need a 60A breaker but most home hobbyists won't come close to using 50A


I have also seen 125A MCBs trip at only 30A draws because the cabinet was over 120degrees ambient temp fucking sparkys cramming anything and everything they can in a panel "cause they had space"

 

If you don't mind it taking longer to fill, you don't even need to hange pulley size. Shit I've seen rednecks change out 7.5hp motors with 2hp motors and worked just fine..... granted it took 10x the time to fill lol
