You are a crazy Finn, that's why!

No, that's the reason why a couple of times a week I go into a room that's so hot that the air hurts my face and lungs... And then I splash some water on the stove to make it steam and hurt my face even more...

crazy Finns.

 

[Blackrat]

I know. And to continue on the thought. Being crazy is not the reason to live in this forsaken frozen wasteland... It's the consequence of living here....

Out of curiosity, what do you do there, in real life - besides gaming. I am an electrician, in real life.

 

[Blackrat]

Hah, I'm an electrician also currently working in a factory, keeping the machinery alive.

I used to be a security guard, but that was so stressfull that I just couldn't handle it anymore and went back to school

Here in the usa, the home voltage is 120/240 with a typical panel in a new home being a 200 amp main breaker. What is it in Finland?

also, weather update - Keep in mind my location is Tennessee . . . hang on, I need to look at a map to get the degrees longitude . . . . ok, I got it now: 36 degrees north, ele 551 feet [1680 M] - pretty far south compared to you

Temp is a balmy 29 Degrees F. or - 1.66... C. and no wind
96% humidity and lightly snowing. It is expected to continue until about 2030 hrs local.

7" of snow [17.78 cm] and slightly wet. snowball packability is exceptional, though not deep enough for a fort to be built. [you can see where my priority is here, heh?]

I never done construction/home electrics so I have no idea about the standard current mains, but the standard voltage is 230 for one phase, and 400 for multiphase. As far as I know, that's common in all of europe... I mainly work with three-phase systems and electric motors.

I have done single/multi family residential, commercial residential [ apartments of 4 or more] and some commercial industrial 3 phase. Motor branch circuits of various uses. Industrial 3 phase here is 120/208/240 or 277/480. One place I worked on was an Ice house in Missouri that was at 480 V and 1200 Amps for the main breaker. Cutting knockout holes in the cabinet was a word that is not allowed to be typed on EnWorld forums.

Hehee. I actually had to change the lightbulbs in the factory hall last fall, and for the kicks of it, calculated how much electricity the lights in the plant eat up. Now bear in mind, the hall is about 500x330 feet in area. Just the lights eat up 60kW of electricity
