    Insulated is smart with a fan, I don't know about power, we've really only ran these on wells that use a lot of air and solar compressors struggle to keep, even more so in overcast days.
    viairs website says they work up to 150°f until they shut down, so that encouraging.

    I joined a solar equipment forum today and they all say the set up I'm think about will have no problems with keeping up running a couple minutes an hour.

    I want to get this one out sooner than later and see how it does in the heat and go from there.

    And, in my experience, you learn nothing s out what you will actually be doing, just getting piece of paper, still experience this during my masters program

    I mean, it's hard not to learn something if you're in like a welding program, mechanic program, or similar if they actually let you get out with some hands on experience.

    Your welding and cooking program had to have shown you something I feel like

    Oh it definitely did, maybe I should've rephrased

    Welding taught me a lot - the proper technique, some metallurgy, correct use per application (regarding rod type/size), etc and more

    Real world taught me, at least in the settings I was exposed to, that really just knowing correct technique helped but everything else was sort, tossed aside

    Same with culinary; I still talk to some of my colleagues and they're working in restaurants and shit and say it's WAY different (outside of the very basics that you'd need to know going in anyway)

    Small 12v fans have very little power draw and if its on a temp controller so it turns only when the cabinet gets above like 100° it won’t see much run time. Just only when needed.

    There another funny thing, they always preached networking in school, saying you never know when you might end up asking your fellow students for a job opportunity or something, I was thought it was bullshit.



    then I sent a text in a 3 year old group chat this week asking for info and they came through for me, so I guess there's that

    Because, like car maintenance, something that is considered to be simple/basic to him or her, is completely foreign to someone else

    Just like sometimes people ask me about welding something, and I asked someone what thickness would they want and they just froze

    That's when I just needed to see for myself and provide my own suggestion

    You do what you do because you know and understand it; to someone else even the most basic knowledge you have could blow someone else's mind

    You get a Penn A19 or something similar you just wire it in series on the Line side for close on rise.
    Penn A19 are dead simple, stupidly reliable and easily available if one did fail.
