Değerli üstad, benim zk4kx Modülüm 19v laptop güç adaptörü ile çalışıyor ancak en fazla 7.72 volt çıkış veriyor, bu sorunumu nasıl cozebilirim bana yardımcı olabilir misiniz, teşekkür ederim
Bu sisteme sogutucu fan nasil takılır
Can you please tell me where you got the enclosure? Link?

I just have a hard time with silent videos. The camera is way to close to the project. High speed builds I don't know man
I agree, if the point of this video was to "show and tell" then he succeeded and must be proud but if it is to show how anyone can do it, then with extreme close ups and fast running video the point is lost.
Do you sell the complete system already set up?
Looking at this video, how watertight are we, looking at it i would still say the system is still only 90%
Easy with pixie cable
european electrician here. Can someone please explain me why yall using armoured cables? I guess that there is an good reason for that, because that seems like a overkill to me. I think that the armour is the earth?
The armoured is earthed and it offers mechanical protection in case it gets damaged. It all depends of the location and application.
@@stanstools728 We are using NYY-J for outside applications. But this seems weird for me xD. But I guess that yall know what you're doing
@@somestranger8966 If for burial armoured is the preferred in the UK. But we do use a lot of other cables outside as long as it can offered outside protection. I'm sure it's the same for you. But we have a regulation book that basically tells us what cable we need to use for where and weather it needs to have additional protection ect.
Hi Its a good question, firstly if its buried underground, and you then stick a spade/shovel through it, the armouring gives good mechanical protection. Secondly, if you do manage to go through the armouring and into a live conductor the main route/path back for the live conductor is armouring-spade-earth, and not through the folk holding the spade.
Why are some people so precious about fitting these things? I understand electric is dangerous and things must be done correctly. But why is something so simple made so difficult by these you tube experts in the comments? Thanks for the video, 4 minutes is exactly all I needed.
U forgot gland ring bro
This work is back job or reject armored it should be all inside the gland 😭
See comment from a below, these are INTERNAL glands and must not be used outside
Hi Steve hope your well. Yes I'm well aware these are Inside glands. The outside gland has a extra rubber seal. Just for the simplicity of the video I just showed a basic swa termination.
not good
Well done.
Great. Loved it❤️🔥
You havent posted in a while! This video is great... Seems useful around the shop! How's the lathe going? Will it work? Also, how much did it cost to make this power supply in all?
Hi Martin. Yeah it's been ages, been a very busy year. Yeah a lot of occasions have come up in the past when I could of done with one. Lathes good. Needs a couple of modifications to make it works smoother. Cost between 25-30.
This is wrong, gland ring not fixing
Very poor. Stick to painting and simple DIY. Electrics is not for you.
Hi David thanks for the encouraging comment. I'm a Instrumentation engineer so I make a living out of electrics and do some excellent work. Maintaining, installing, and commissioning machinery. But thanks again for taking the time out to comment on the video.
@@stanstools728 lol
When I was an apprentice (1972 to 78) I was told to fit a coupler between the gland and this type of single/two gang knockout boxes because the gland protrudes into box making it difficult to fit a switch or whatever onto box. Terminating two armoured into this size box then fitting a switch/socket/spur/? will be difficult.
where can you find this connector?
This would not meet hazardous area requirements, where the outer sheath must be captivated within a sealing ring, so no armouring is visible. This does not look very weatherproof.
Stfu
It's a bw gland obviously not waterproof, so you are not quite the expert you think you are.
@@solidus784 What do the letters BW and CW stand for?
@@jeffeloso I don't know I assumed it was just a code here's what I found BW Gland - Brass gland for use with steel wire armoured cables (H694-XL). Used to provide clamping of the armour wire to ensure electrical continuity and mechanical retention of the cable. The BW gland is used for indoor application when a waterproof seal is not required. CW Gland - Brass gland for use with steel wire armoured cables (H694-XL). Used to provide clamping of the armour wire to ensure electrical continuity and mechanical retention of the cable. The CW type gland is used for outdoor applications and where necessary to provide an IP66 seal with the outer sheath of the cable.
@@solidus784 Thank you for your helpful reply.
Nicely done
Wow! One of the best builds for something like this I have ever seen in my life! That is really awesome. I would like to know what kind of drill press that was at 3:02... If it even was one. It looks kind of cool
Hi Martin thanks again. Its a multico drill press. It's only got about a inch travel though. It's designed for more accurate drilling. Really well made drill.
Thank you, copper is just so expensive. Looking for alternatives.
Can I run and heat pool water through a system like this?
For the cabling or for actual water ?
The actual water?
I wouldn't think so. This type is steel and would rust and perish and the plastic type isn't very resilient. And the glands would leak.
