![]() On my LCR meter, which can measure inductance at two frequency levels: 120 Hz and 1 kHz, I find that the inductance is measured differently under the two frequencies. I suspect the difference comes from the measurement of the inductance. It’s actually still a bit off: if we measure the actual AC current flowing through the solenoid: So this roughly matches the electric specification of a typical sprinkler valve. The resulting current is about the same on the Hunter solenoid. OK, now if we redo the calculations, we will find out that the correct reactance is: Indeed the inductance jumped from 63.57 mH and 132.45 mH previously to 194.4 mH and 199.6 mH respectively. So let’s re-measure the inductance with the rod pushed in: What is missing? Well, remember that when the solenoid is activated, the rod will be attracted into the solenoid, and that can change the inductance significantly. OK, so this is getting closer to the reality. ![]() We only care about the magnitude, so the current (rms) would be: Now we can calculate the operating current under 24VAC (rms). Using complex numbers, the calculation can be carried out quite easily. For example, when you apply a sinusoid voltage on the inductor, the corresponding current is also a sinusoid wave, but with a different phase. Using complex numbers is just a convenient way of denoting not only the magnitude but also the phase. ![]() Note that the reactance counts into the imaginary part of the impedance. This, plus the resistance, gives a total impedance of: So if we power the solenoids by 24VAC, 60Hz, which is the standard output of a sprinkler transformer, we will get a reactance of: With an LCR meter, I measured the inductance of the two solenoids: The higher the frequency, the higher the ‘resistance’ (i.e. Because inductors ‘prevent’ current from changing rapidly, it behaves like a ‘resistor’ under changing current (i.e. You can read the Wikipage to find out how reactance is calculated, but basically it has to do with the frequency of the input voltage, and the inductance of the coil. When operated on AC power, the inductance produces significant reactance which cannot be ignored. Because the solenoid is made of a coil, it not only has coil resistance but also inductance. The catch is exactly in the fact that sprinkler solenoids are powered by AC voltage. In fact, my sprinkler transformer is only rated 750 mA output current, so it can’t provide enough current to drive even one solenoid?! If you think about it for a while, you might realize something is not quite right here: if we apply 24V on the solenoid, wouldn’t that produce a 24 V / 24.1 ohm = 1 amp current draw? That’s quite steep. According to the multimeter, one measures 32.3 ohm, and the other measures 24.1 ohm. I have two example solenoids, one made by Orbit and one made by Hunter. ![]() Let’s start by measuring the resistance of the sprinkler solenoid. This also means if your water pressure is too low you may not be able to completely stop the water flow. ![]() Because closing the valve relies on internal pressure build-up, it usually takes a few seconds to completely stop the water flow. This allows the water pressure to build up internally hence stopping the flow. Removing the voltage causes the rod to revert back to its original position. This releases the internal water pressure thus opening the valve, allowing water to flow through the valve. Applying 24VAC on the two wires energizes the coil, and causes the rod to contract into the solenoid. The solenoid has two wires connected to its internal coil. At the center of the solenoid is a rod supported by a spring. The electric part of a sprinkler valve is the solenoid - it’s a cylindrical-shaped thing screwed into the valve. That’s why if you look at a standard sprinkler transformer, the output is usually AC. While most valves indeed CAN be powered by DC voltage (see below), they are designed to work with AC voltage in the range of 22VAC to 28VAC. It’s a common mistake to assume sprinkler valves work with DC voltage. If you are designing a sprinkler controller circuit, understanding these properties can be helpful. I often get questions about sprinkler valves, so in this post I will explain the basic electric properties of sprinkler valves. Note: check out our OpenSprinkler DC-powered version, which uses an innovative circuit design that drives sprinkler solenoids using DC-only voltage. ![]()

Maybe a few nails? There does seem to be a good sized column in the outer wall if the ridge is meant to be a beam. As rockies points out the outside end does not seem to be supported at all. The deficiency there would be the total absence of rafter ties across the wall tops and tieing the rafter tails together.Īs a ridge beam it is hugely deficient as it has virtually no real support at either end. IF a ridge board the non-support at either end does not matter so much. The unanswered question is whether or not the ridge member is supposed to be a ridge board or a ridge beam.Īs a ridge board it is unnecessarily large with two layers. I think your builder thought you wanted an enclosed unheated space rather than a future heated room because that's basically what you've got. You'll also have to remove the metal roofing and install proper OSB or plywood sheathing if you want to insulate properly (and that will require you to look into ridge and eave vents as well). I think you'll have to cut away the siding below the ridge beam and install a support post down to structure to hold up that end of the beam. The spacing of your rafters looks like they are 24" on center and you should definitely have joist hangers (Good luck walking across that roof should you ever have to). There should have been sheathing on top of the rafters with an underlayment on top of that before the metal roofing was applied. Cold air will blow up under the edge of the metal roof at the eave and over the top of any batt insulation you put there (never mind having a proper vent space running from eave to ridge over the insulation). I don't know how you are expected to insulate that roof. The right side of the ridge beam seems to butt up against the post rather than rest on top of it (or does the ridge beam rest on two shorter studs flanked by two longer studs to "lock" it into place)? It appears that the ridge beam rests against the original exterior siding on the left and sits on top of a 2x4 nailed to the wall (when the beam should go into the wall and rest on a post). Unless they used metal straps over the peak on the upper rafter surface there are no collar tie substitutes, nor any collar ties. It is built with a ridge board but I don't see that the peak is tied in? The second thing that I find odd is how it is attached. One I raised before is insulating the roof. ![]() I took some pics as how it is done looks odd to me although I am fairly certain that it was done to code. ![]() We have an addition on the cabin that we'd like to finish.

Even if your transmission is not in critical condition, rebuilding it can replace a lot of parts that are going to give your problems later. It is quite possible that the damage to your transmission is so severe that your 2012 Jeep Liberty won’t even drive until it is rebuilt, so fixing it gets you back on the road. That’s why you definitely need to use someone you trust for a job of this magnitude. By that time, you could already be committed to the process and to using that mechanic. You may not be able to get an accurate estimate from the mechanic until they have opened up your transmission and sourced the parts. How much work and how many parts need to be replaced will determine the overall cost. Your transmission rebuild cost could involve only switching out or fixing a few small parts or it can mean getting rid of nearly everything inside the transmission. What this does is permit the engine to move at different speeds.Īll that wear and tear from simply doing its job is going to take its toll on the transmission, but a bad wreck, poor maintenance or other factors can cause it to need to be rebuilt entirely. It uses a variety of gears to take power from the engine to the drive axle. One of the more expensive and vital components of your 2012 Jeep Liberty is the transmission. Where you live, the model of car you drive and the extent of the damage will all influence the cost, but the prices below should give you a rough idea of how much you will pay. The type of car you have and the kind of parts it contains greatly determine your overall transmission repair cost.īelow are some example costs for a transmission rebuild at some of the leading garage chains in the country.

It’s drawn on the same basis as Suisse Int’l, and in fact a great number of letterforms are virtually identical across the two collections. ![]() Suisse Screen is a sans serif made with high legibility in mind, and offers one more aesthetic choice within the Suisse typeface range. Ranging oldstyle figures which blend in better with the lowercase can be activated via OpenType features. Suisse Works has lining figures by default. It can be used in situations where the Regular is just too light – think of glossy paper, negative text, or smaller sizes on screen. The Book weight sits between the Regular and the Medium, and is only a notch heavier than the former. Suisse Works’ forward-looking attitude is exemplified by the absence of upward-pointing serifs in C, G, S, or the a’s terminal that doesn’t carry a ball but instead is horizontally cut – a feature it has in common with Suisse Int’l and Neue. ![]() It’s more sophisticated than the transitional serif typefaces of former times, though, with smoother, consistent details and balanced proportions across all styles. With its tapered serifs and the pronounced contrast along a diagonal stress axis, Suisse Works stands squarely in the tradition of classic reading faces. At the same time, Suisse Works is elegant, too: Especially the italic and bold styles introduce an expressiveness that may serve for catchy titles and headings. Thanks to the efficient spacing, it’s a smart choice for longer texts, in newspapers, magazines, and beyond. ![]() The sturdy build provides for an even texture. It’s characterized by wide capitals, a very large x-height, and open apertures, guaranteeing superb readability both in print and on screen. Suisse Works was developed as a serviceable text serif for the 21st century. There are no limits in regard to the number of uses, domains, or website visitors. By the way: At Swiss Typefaces, one license purchase secures you the lifelong right to use the fonts for print, websites, apps, e-publications, broadcasting, and more. And it’s truly international: The current version supports Latin, Cyrillic, and Arabic alphabets, all in one file, for one price. The collection comprises 18 styles: 9 weights from the chic Ultralight to the forceful Black, all equipped with italics. Whether you want to perpetuate their modernist approach, whether your design references this aesthetic in more playful, even ironic ways, or whether you’re just looking for a plain, hard-working sans serif – Suisse Int’l won’t let you down. Suisse Int’l is the present-day equivalent of the type used by the pioneers in Switzerland and beyond. Also known as International Typographic Style, it’s characterized by sans serif type typically set flush-left, in grid-based layouts that are derived from the content. This movement emerged around the schools in Basel and Zürich in the 1950s and aimed to present information objectively. It’s the typeface of choice for any designer who’s fond of the Swiss Style and its legacy. Suisse Int’l is the best Swiss Grotesk available in digital form. ![]() Suisse combines classic style with cutting edge design quality and the most user-friendly license. Comprised of 6 collections with a total of 55 styles, Suisse is a utilitarian font set that covers all basic needs of the contemporary typographer, from Suisse Int’l, the go-to Grotesk with its monospaced and condensed companions, to the sturdy text serif Suisse Works, the clear-cut sans serif Suisse Screen, and the reliable slab serif Suisse Neue. The Suisse typeface forms the centerpiece of the Swiss Typefaces library. ![]() ![]()

While it can feel overwhelming to get started with ACH, many organizations are already using it, and the ACH infrastructure is well set up for those who are just starting out. Most customers are used to instant settlements, so understanding ACH payments’ time frame can take some getting used to. KYC/AML Requirements:īusinesses must fulfill Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements before starting with ACH, which can take time and effort. The most common risks and liabilities associated with ACH are: Insufficient Fund Returns:ĪCH payments don’t settle immediately, so purchases made without sufficient funds can go unnoticed until rejected by the ACH network. Drawbacks of ACH PaymentsĪCH is among the safest payment rails available, but that doesn’t mean it comes without risk. Safer from Fraudulent Activities:ĪCH has the lowest fraud rate among major payment systems (averaging only $0.08 of fraud for every $10,000) representing only a fraction of 1 percent of the total value or number of all payments in the U.S. Other payment methods like credit cards and wire transfers often need information to be repeatedly entered for payments, which increases the chances for errors and returns. Fewer Errors and Returns:īank account information must be entered only once to link an account for ACH payments, reducing the chances of errors. On average, a bank account is held for 14 years compared to only 3 years for a credit card, making the bank account a more stable payment method. High Transaction Success Rate:ĪCH reduces payment churn as customers use their bank account rather than a credit card. For instance, for a $500 transaction processed through Stripe, you could save over $10 by choosing ACH over credit cards.įor businesses with high-volume transactions, such as those that process monthly billing cycles for their customers, using ACH instead of credit cards can provide significant cost savings.
