Definitely don’t try picking the lock. With a coat hanger.

Is that your newest set

 

I'll have to try the side ext cab window trick next time lol

 

I'm guessing my knife is too thick, all I ended up doing was scarring the aluminum

 

LOL now that's dedication

 

Thank you for your timely responses guys, I had to resort to my AAA membership I had conveniently forgot about. Only to realize I left my truck keys at work as I rode with the missus in her car today

 

Unless you're like my dad and goop silicone in it before installing

 

Kinda want

just a spare for the crawler

Can I use a

$13 APIELE 22mm Key Switch 440V 10A 1NO1NC Maintained (2 Position, Latching)

440V 10A panel mount key switch to switch on and off AC voltage from an outlet cord? I'm building a lightbar testing station, and I thought a key master switch would be cool to be a master power on/off switch for the unit.

The ad doesn't specific AC or DC voltage for the switch so I am unsure. I would be using this

$24 ALITOVE AC 110V/220V to DC 12V 30A 360W Universal Regulated Switching Power Supply Transformer Adapter LED Driver for LED Strip, CCTV Camera System, Radio

DC power supply: 12vDC 30A. It doesn't explicitly state its AC power draw, but using an online calculator it looks like 12vDC at ~30 Amps DC will draw 3 Amps AC @ 120vAC.

 

Not tagged, but yes. Can assume a 50% efficiency factor on cheap AC/DC converters and you're still good.

 

Cool, thank you! Would the hot or neutral be on the key switch?

I assume 440v is the standard automation voltage - is that in AC or DC?

 

Typically hot is wired into a switch so you shorten the live wire length in case of an issue. Ie: switch on neutral means path downstream of load is looking for ground path other than the neutral (bad)

440V is commercial 3 phase so idk. Industrial automation? Probably since it would fall into that category
Being rated at 440V means it could suffer a bare metal contact from an opposing phase and not breakdown

Edit to that: I see it's rated for 660 so I guess they also assume you could use it between two phases (but I believe that would be unsafe in any scenario I can think of).

 

@Tour991 A Porsche for the fresh pow

 

That looks like a nicely broken in sticky krawler right in it's prime!

That song has some really powerful imagery. Probably helps that I grew up around there.

 

We saw low 60s, so the boss lady wants wood (;

 

Well, now I'll never need it
