FAQ

Hello All, I have an electrical equipment (face steamer) which was purchased in India (220 - 240V) and wanted to check, if I could connect this to an electrical outlet in US (producing 110V). Would this cause any damage to the equipment or the outlet ?

You need a 110V-to-220V transformer: It has to also support at least as many Watts as your steamer.

I have a hanging, pull-string electrical light in my attic. This is very standard stuff. I would like to purchase an electrical device that will screw into the electric light and give me an electrical outlet. Think of this as a device with the base of an electric light bulb and an electical outlet instead of the bulb. I thought I saw one in a hardware store 20 years ago, but I have no idea if this product still exists. I can not think of what it would be called with a technical name when searching for one on the Internet.My business application is to be able to plug equipment into my attic rather than running the cord into the main house.

Go to Lowes, Home Depot, or any local Ace Hardware and tell them what you have written here. They are still available. Oh yeah, it's called a socket adapter.

I am looking to control a electrical outlet 120V over my network, Is their a piece of equipment that can do this?

You should look for electric regulator. and pick up the one of your choice.

I have an item that is magnetic and it was accidentally heated. That took away a lot of the strength how can I restrengthen my magnet?

Some products use magnetism in their construction. Magnetic earrings or aquarium cleaning products, for example, often employ two strong magnets to hold parts of the product together, allowing them to cling to the ear or slide up and down an aquarium wall. When permanent magnets become too weak to function, something must be done. Fortunately, there are a few ways to make your magnets stronger.Test your magnet. Place it on a vertical metallic surface, if it starts to slide down the metal, it is weak. Try to pull it off--if there is very little resistance, it's weak. The harder it is to pull off the metal, the stronger the magnetism. If you have a weak magnet, it has either always been weak or has steadily weakened over time. If it has always been weak, there is very little you can do. Discard it and focus on strengthening any magnets that have grown weak over time.

I have a school project (Construction management) that involves the estimating of the electrical cost for a building addition. I can do the fixture counts, equipment hook ups, box counts, switches and etc. I cant figure out how much wiring would be involved. from the blueprints, is there a way to measure (estimate) the lf of wiring? this is a school building so there are mostly medsize room and hallways. any help would be great. I remember something about the homerun count from when i was a laborer, but could i figure 1 line around the room with a line for fixtures or something like that. doesnt have to be perfect by any means.

I am an electrical contractor. I use the actual dimensions to estimate the wire. Copper wire is much to expensive to just take a guess. Start with the home-run and add the LF as you go. 1 circuit at a time. On a large commercial job I might figure a median length circuit and then use that figure for all other branch circuits.

i.e. extended warranty.

I know this isn't much of an answer but I think it depends on the item. For example, I bought a $32 toy and toys-r-us tried to sell me a warranty that was $12. Doesn't really make sense. But the warranty on my flat screen TV is probably a good value. -- On a side note, it is wonderful that items are so cheap now that we have to consider the value of the warranty but I am worried about out throw-away society. I had a neighbor that just bought a new lawn mower because it leaked oil. That would cost $12 to fix. Oy!

At hwy 5 and 380 there is a bunch of large trailers,cars, and production equipment. What is being filmed there?

Any tips for a rock band that will be playing shows in the next month or so? Set-up, breakdown of equipment, working the crowd, preperation, etc?

Learn to put up and break down your equipment quickly. I've seen a drummer take 30 minutes to set up the most basic of drum sets when the set was brought in. Have backups for your guitars and electrical equipment. A broken string on a guitar is a 15 minute pause on your set (experienced that from the same band that took that long on the drum set) to fix it. Ignore the crowd if you think they are bored (in music videos those crowds are paid to be all festive, but they are no where near that in real life). If they aren't paying attention to you, you can forget the onstage talk and sing alongs. Ignore the drunks (talk with the manager before hand on having the manager remove the noisy drunks). Have your merchandise (same band above forgot their stuff and I wanted a CD)!
