BO IN.

die geneuk met "onder in" is dat iemand hom gaan simpel skok as hy aanvaar die vorige ou het "normaal" gewerk.

so die les vir jou studente - WEES VERSIGTIG !!!! jy weet nooit wie voor jou daar was nie !!!!!!!!!!!!!

ChrisF

Jip. 4 diodes word gebruik en dan kry jy n golf wat slegs tussen 0 en "+" beweeg. Sit n capasitor by en dit is n gelykstroom. Dink treug na die 80's, toe kar radios so lekker "buzz" gekry het. Direkte gevolg van die kwaliteit van die rectifier en kapasitor. nou is ons darem al le...

ChrisF

geen probleem, ons leer mos maar almal van mekaar.

PS - n groep diodes word gebruik om wisselstroom te omskep na gelykstroom in die alternator om 12V (14V) te verskaf in n voertuig.

ChrisF

Diode werk net met gelyk stroom.

ChrisF

Okay, so bietjie gaan gesels met die manne wat ken van die goete ... Bo-in en onder-uit is beslis die norm. Soveel so dat hulle eers nie my vraag verstaan het nie. Met meeste CB's maak dit dan ook nie veel verskil nie. Maar wanneer ons na die meer spesialis indistriele produkte kyk maak dit wel vers...

ChrisF

Dankie Rodger, sal intersant wees om dit te sien. Wat ek oor die jare al gesien het as die kinders die bedrading doen, hetsy dit van bo of onder is, as iets verkeerd bedraad is, sal dit trip. In meeste gevalle is dit die stroombreker, dan aardlekasie op hulle bord. Min gevalle sal dit trip by die h...

ChrisF

die ontwerp is vir bo in en onder uit... of so sê hulle. Ek kan bietjie probeer uitvind by die spesialiste ... Dit mag dalk wees dat dit suiwer n veiligheids ding is. Onthou as ek nou n a DB bord stap, en ek sit enige breaker af, dan weet ek mos waar is lewendig en waar is veilig ... DIT is die rede...

ChrisF

jip, altyd bo in, onder uit. Kyk na n DB en volg hoe : - Mains BO in op die Maind-CB. - dan onder uit, rondom en weer BO in op die Earth Leakage. - weer onder uit, rondom en BO in op die onderskeie CB/s. en dit is sommer met daai "rondom" drade wat jy die kwaliteit van jou sparkie op n myl...

Ons is ook besig om kwotasie te kry om 'n lugversorger in die huis te installeer. Sover 4 kwotasies gekry en tydens hulle inspeksie het nie een Samsung of LG voorgestel nie omdat hulle naverkope diens swak is. Die produkte wat aan ons voorgestel is, is Daiken (duurder een), Midea (middle klas), Jet...

Should add that my passanger handed me my phone from the back seat.

The Note 5 has a VERY handy function whereby you double tap the Home key while the phone is locked to quickly access the camera.

What a strange traffic day .... First time ever that I have encountered consistent HEAVY traffic on a Saturday. Busy with some renovations, so did multiple trips to the Kraaifontein dump, from Bellville. Both the Brackenfell and Okavango bridges over the N1 was crawling traffic from 9:30 to 15:00 .....

ChrisF

Hennie die game het darem so bietjie verbeter intussen. Met die "inverter" tegnologie word die kompressor spoed aangepas volgens die las, en dus word daar nie meer so baie energie vermors nie. Dus is dit nou "beter" om so klein bietjie te over-size, dit kan die vertrek vinniger a...

ChrisF

natuurlik moet jy dan die "heat pump" model koop as jy ook wil warm maak in die winter. Kos omtrent niks ekstra nie en is regtig n "moet".

ChrisF

hier in die Kaap verkies ek Samsung. Diens is die beste. Daikin het self goeie produkte LG, Mitsibishi en n hele paar ander is glad nie sleg nie. n standaard huis het slegs enkel fase krag met n 60A Main CB.

Mickey I (we) are not gardeners .... Between my day job and sideline I am working 60+ hours per week. Simply dont have the time for a proper garden Our aunt in Onrus has a garden as you describe - NICE !! I DO love a decent rose garden, but that is about it for my gardening "skills". Our r...

Stef I want to make "islands" around it. Think it will have a nice finish.

Wife .... uhm ja .... palms may go .... you know what they say about a happy wife ....

ChrisF

Thanks Thabo

ChrisF

Thank you Stef. Been thinking of either the terraforce, or the large cement blocks for this purpose. Possibly a wall the have a neat finish, then the concrete blocks, all on a foundation. Fortunately the lift is "only" about 300 to 400mm, thus not a dangerous height. I do have a little con...

ChrisF

no takers .... ?

ChrisF

Any references for decent paving guys around here ?

Need somebody I can trust to fill and compact properly ...

ChrisF

Thanks Mickey

I will contact the builder that did the garage for me a few years back. Actually a decent builder.

YES, I will personally do the rain gutter to make SURE the water does not get close to the house.

Damp is not something to play with.

ChrisF

any idea of the going rates for paving ? Based on the baked clay brick pavers.

ChrisF

We want to pave a section in front of our house, probably about 90m2. It will be a "fun" project as the road is higher than the house. I have a few options : 1) create a rain water gutter along the house, below the weep holes. Then build a wall of about 300 to 400mm, create slope towards t...

Absolute best is the filter-socket units. 4x4Direct has some on the shelf, but cant seem to find it on their web now. DO check though that you get the correct one for your filter. I have collected a few of these over the years, as each vehicle uses a different filter which then requires a new socket...

ChrisF

Shaun just for clarity, there are three types of spacers : 1) Wheel spacers - if you want your rims and tires to sit "wider" on the vehicle. Clearly not the spacers you were asking about. And not good for the wheel bearings .. 2) BODY lift spacers - some people want to raise the actual bod...

ChrisF

Hello Fred

WELKOM by die Forum.

Hier in die Kaap het jy n paar opsies :

- GOMAD
- R&D Offroad
- Metallion

ChrisF

Hello Shaun WELKOM by die forum. Speak to the guys at 4x4Direct about the spacers they stock. Handy to "level" the vehicle. Off course this will not do the same as a proper off-road suspension, but then it costs a fraction of the price ... Handy to give you that bit of clearance you might ...

ChrisF

NOPE.

the fuel difference over those few kilometers wont make any difference to your monthly fuel bill.

And for the longer runs the V6 will be as light as your right foot ....

For what you describe I would certainly go for the PETROL

ChrisF

Hi Brett. Maybe a bit more info on what you want to do, as this is a very wide topic .... Placement of the battery : - there is place in the engine bay, and standard brackets. BUT, some break lines must be bent out of the way. The heat of the engine bay is not good for a battery. - mostly these are ...

ChrisF

How many kilometers will you be doing with it ? Daily driver, with the occasional trip : D-4D Mostly just the holiday runs : V6 !!!! You wont get much better than 9km/l on the D-4D. You will probably average 6 km/l on the V6 .. depending on the weight of your right foot ..., some do claim to get 7km...

2010 het dit my 5k gekos vir die Hilux 2013 was dit 5,5k vir die Etios Nou het ek 6k betaal vir cruise control vir die RAV. Dit is die prys as jy dit bybestel saam met die voertuig. Seker jy kan seker n paar rand spaar as jy dit later laat insit. Ek bestel dit maar saam, dan is daar geen issues met ...

ChrisF

Cruise control is omtrent 6k as jy dit wil laat bysit.

ChrisF

That control box of Grundfos is actually a contactor for when you connect a generator to it, not really required, you can just disconnect it from the solar and plug it to the generator. The pump is now about R18000.00. The head must be the total height difference plus pipe friction. . I have the Gr...

ChrisF

MOOI !!

ChrisF

Ouch !!

Best to track down the Grundfos guys in your area.

OR speak to James about the Lorentz range.

These suppliers deal with these figures daily and will quickly help you

ChrisF

Marnus how much water do you want to pump, and how high ? A 1500W pump is a monster pump ...

My neighbour is looking into a small PV powered pump to water his garden from his rain water tank. I might have some more info on this type of application shortly.

ChrisF

MAN, dit moet mens darem net een keer in jou lewe kan doen ....

ChrisF

Marnus have you looked at the range of solar pumps that Grundfoss supplies to the farmers ? Nice thing with these is that the school fees have been paid and you KNOW it will work, and will last for years. but sit down before checking the price .... Converting DC to drive an AC pump ... nope. Nothing...

ChrisF

Might want to get a "variable voltage" power supply for that.

The volts will be directly proportional to the turning speed ....

ChrisF

Would a standard USB charger not do the trick ? Think that is mostly 5V output.

How many amps do you need ?

ChrisF

Andy thanks for the feedback. Clearly you have given this some thought. Eric unfortunately our ground water has a very high metal content and is hardly suitable for the garden, certainly for nothing else. Pity as our water table is very high - hit it when we dug the pool. I must admit that we have b...

So on Tuesday 1 November 2016 the Western Cape is moving into the next era of water restrictions. The powers that be indicating that we have a "drought" ... some would say we had less rain, but the real problem is the drastic and constant increase in water use outstripping the catchment ca...

ChrisF

wow ....

Het jou naaste BMW Motorrad dalk ?

ChrisF

On this side of the planet you only get this at the bike shops or at the larger bike tire and accessory outlets.

Dont even bother with the normal automotive outlets ....

Just plan ahead for the next service and pick up the parts ahead of time.

ChrisF

Josh welcome to the forum. As James eluded to .... The KZTE debate comes up every couple of weeks ... with two strong poles on the topic. Looking past the engine for a second - nice vehicle, and should give you many years of good service. For a daily drive - the KZTE should give you about 9km/l as a...
