*looks at powerpack i designed

 

Power that expensive down there now?

 

It is when it's 0.1 to 0.2kW x 24 x $0.15avg x 365 per year

 

.15 is high ouch. I don't remember it being that bad when I was there, but I guess since you basically live where it's uninhabitable you have to factor in running your life support air conditioner all the time into the base rate. I don't ever cross the threshold of our low rate here into the higher rate so I'm only .07

 

Zero insulation and leaky walls mean we have to run electric heat all winter and ac for summer but neither are on high blast. We just fall over into some of our power getting charged at .11

 

I'd have to get you the exact number - might be more like .10-.11 actually. But I never got an avg power value for my NAS either. I could also just not use it in peak summer time. Needless to say though, has some non-idealities that just puts it now comparable to Netflix imo, not the clear winner

 

Agreed. As far as power goes, VFD's can be finicky. Most of the devices/systems in these "mission critical" environments operate in an N+1 or N+2 configuration. Instead of having a backup VFD for a pump, they'll just have 3 independent VFD/pump systems. It's not uncommon for us to have 3 systems when only one is needed for fully loaded operations. Leaves one for operation, one for standby and one de-energized for maintenance etc.

 

.093712 for us. Yours is cheap.

 

don't thank me til it's over

 

I’m shivering in my boots .

Breaking my 23/1 fast with stek and eggs. Admittedly I wanted rare but I’m full tilt on gin so I over cooked it

 

Yeah its held up pretty good for me so far. Especially just leaveing my ebike on it 24/7. Has held up great

 

hmmm that sounds p good right now

 

@Sperrunner thanks again for helping me with the heat pump install, it's running great

 

I missed my chance to beat you to saying it huh

Run the generators in the summer to sell power back to the city during peak load. We have about 6 or 8 of these bad boys hooked to the UPS.

These look small but the same idea.

 

Thanks for the recommendation, Facebook....

 

I mean, it's on a 5 lug at least

 

Should ask him for the snail shown behind it...
