How Jocelyn Organizes Her Closet
This week's guest participating in the 'How I Organize' series is graphic designer Jocelyn of The Stylish Type, who makes and sells pretty decor prints on Etsy and frequently shares her uber stylish outfits on her blog. She gives us a peek inside her home and shares with us her beautifully organized closet:
My closet is small and far from the walk-in-closet I would one day like to own. For this reason, I have to be creative with how I organized it and take advantage of every square foot of space I've got. That's where closet storage solutions come in handy. I'm all about using extra hanging rods, shelves, bins, special hangers, and anything else you can get your hands on to make your closet functional. One of my biggest pet peeves is having a huge mess and not being able to see what I own. Accessibility is also important so I organize by type and then color.
My new Real Simple solutions hangers that I purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond are the best for maximizing hanging space. They are ultra-slim and have a built in hook feature that can be used to stack clothing or hang accessories like scarves and belts. Utilizing these babies to their full potential could ultimately give me double the closet space. A belt loop hanger is also a good investment to keep belts organized and visible.
I own a lot of coats for those chilly San Francisco days so I used an extra closet rod to take advantage of the lost space under my tops and skirts. I purchased some stackable shelves to double my shoe storage and used clear bins to store hats, scarves, and clutches. For those narrow spaces where traditional shelves won't fit, I used an ordinary locker shelf to gain a little extra space. A basket on the floor is also a good place to store extra blankets or miscellaneous belongings.
Extra Tips:
*Use command hooks on the walls to hang hats or necklaces. They are easily to use and don't require hammering into the wall.
*If you have a door that opens towards you, use the back and hang a shoe organizer. It's the perfect place to store flats and flip-flops.
How Jean Organizes Her Entry
This month's first guest participating in the How I Organize series is Jean of Flower Hill Design Company, whose design aesthetic I love. She gives us a peek inside her home and shares with us her beautifully organized entry:
My design dilemma was that I had an entryway closet that blocked my front door from my living room space. It was small, cramped, dark and not functional. Living a busy life style, I needed organization that allowed me to keep the daily essentials within reach, without having a space that looked cluttered and unorganized.
My solution was to remove the old entryway closet, opening the front door to the living room and allowing more light to fill the space. I designed a built-in closet in another area of the home that not only had space for in season coats and shoes, but incorporated cubbies to hold the day to day essentials that were ready to "grab and go". Items include my handbag, keys, and accessories like sunglasses or lipgloss. It also needed to provide storage for transient things like my son's school papers that need to be referred to in the short term, incoming mail, a place to store my laptop when not in use, and some basic office supplies (i.e. a pen for a quick note, tape, notepad, etc…). I painted a mural on the interior of the closet. By treating the closet design like another area of my home (not just a storage space) it keeps me motivated to keeps things looking pretty.
There is a hanging rod for in season coats. Beneath the hanging rod there are two shelves which is ample storage for our in season shoes. An upper shelf holds baskets for hats, gloves, and scarves. The cubbies hold my handbag, accessories, laptop, and basic files to hold paperwork that needs to be referred to but is not quite necessary to be filed away in the office filing cabinet. An urn holds pens for quick notes (either notes to the teacher or a grocery shopping list). Simple DIY storage boxes made from shirt boxes hold some basic office supplies like tape and a stapler.
Everything has it's place. The cubbies make everyday essentials easy to find. It makes a busy lifestyle and constantly being on the go so much easier. Having a designated space for everyday essentials keep my countertops clutter free.

How Annie Organizes Her Nightstand
This week's 'How I Organize' guest is new pal and professional organizer, Annie of Live Simply. She gives us a look at how she beautifully organizes her nightstand:
My nightstand is small, meaning that I have to keep it really streamlined. I do most of my reading and note-taking in my bed, so for me its important to keep pens, highlighters and sticky notes on hand. Since I always sleep with my hair tied back, my nightstand also has hair ties or a clip. There is nothing worse than being on the verge of sleep, only to realize that you have to get up to get a hair elastic! I also apply hand moisturizer and chapstick right before I go to sleep, so having those two things within arms reach is a must.
I like to keep a cup of water next to my bed as well. For a long time this meant that I would end up with a collection of cups on my nightstand and none in the kitchen. I finally solved that problem by purchasing a special cup meant only for my bedside. I don't bring cups from the kitchen upstairs because I know that cup is there, and I since I only use it for water (and it's only me using it) I feel fine about simply washing it in the bathroom sink with soap and water.
I keep a small stack of books by my bedside, but make sure that they are only the ones I am currently reading. If it's completed or neglected, then back to the shelf it goes!

How Maggie Organizes Her Bathroom Cabinet
The How I Organize series, which gives us a peek at how others organize their homes, is back! I've got some fabulous participants lined up. First up is my friend and Seattle-based interior decorator, Maggie of Maggie Rose Interiors (who just launched a new e-book!). She shares with us today how she organizes her bathroom cabinet:
Our apartment has no under-sink storage, but it came with a generously sized cupboard in the corner near the door. It's not the prettiest thing to look at, but it holds a LOT of stuff! It's nice to have everything at eye-level instead of getting down on your knees on the bathroom floor to dig stuff out from under the sink.
The top shelf (out of my reach!) holds infrequently used items like beach towels, a small tub for soaking, and back-up bulk kleenex. The next shelf holds back-up toilet paper (we keep 3 rolls in a glass vase near the toilet so guests don't have to scrounge), once-in-a-while beauty and health products, travel supplies in a shoebox, and our first aid kit (blue bin on the right). The third shelf from the top holds towels (holds up to four plus our two in rotation), hand towels, cleaner, and the heavy kitty litter box – I wish there was a better place to stash that, but the litter box is in the bathroom, so it makes sense. The bottom shelf is the most frequently used and easiest to reach. I have a basket for everyday items (hairdryer, etc), occasional items (feminine products, curling iron), and the basket on the right holds all the washcloths. It's not uber-glamorous but it IS uber-functional and I can find everything quickly. Maybe someday I'll get around to painting or wall-papering the inside, but for now, it does its job!

Actually, customer relations was one of the reasons Walmart failed in Europe (especially in Germany) when it tried to expand to over here a few years ago.
The other thing regarding this case might be that every retailer has to give a 2 year warranty on any product. One more important fact is that in the first 6 month after the purchase, the law specifies that a consumer that claims the product is at fault is right unless the retailer can PROVE that the product works as advertised, or the customer damaged it on purpose. So there would be not much to gain for the retailer by going to court, unless he can prove that in court.
For the remaining 18 month of the warranty the burden of proof is reversed, so there the customer would have to prove that the product was already defective by design when he bought it.

General Comments
I have had my nokia 5110 phone for a while now and it is a very good model to use.
The only problem with it is you can not make or up load ring tones but as there are 30+ ring tones and a very good quality you won't need to up load ring tones.

central vac installation
Hi, We've been undergoing a major remodeling our home. We had an Electrolux that has worked well for many years (and was still working). The house is set up for 2 central vacs (one in the original house and a second for the addition). With the addition the electrician pushed for a NuTone central vac over the Electrolux. The rough in and outlets for both old and new were done for the NuTone brand. So far, we don't even have a unit, but attached the inlet plates and are not happy with the quality. It is an electrified unit, CI390 and the cover plate doesn't close well.
Is it possible to jump ship and go to a different central vac system by just changing the inlets? We haven't yet purchased the NuTone so aren't committed yet, and the electrician is no longer on the job. Along that thought are there other brands we should consider?
Thanks for your help.

ECF is a wealth of information with literally hundreds of thousands of threads and millions of posts. This makes links from ECF worth a lot in terms of "Google Juice". We have a policy here of denying this credibility (in search engine thinking) to junk science and other rubbish such as gutter press junk articles and press releases.
If you want to bring a URL to the table that is to a site spouting rubbish and lies, please break the link by removing the http:// and spacing out the URL. See example below.

Instead of linking like this:
Do this:

Just put a bunch of spaces in. People know there are no spaces in URLs, so they can be rebuilt easily enough.

These two shower system looks alike but big price difference
ktslwyAugust 13, 2012
I saw in home depot the american standard one has brushed nickel finish as well. Just wonder what would make the huge price difference. The thing I don't like the american standard is that the hose is at the end of the rod, meaning it would probably drop to the ground when not used, if not hand it somewhere else. Thoughts?

I wanted to love this hotel, and there is a lot about it to love, but it also had glaring flaws and gaps in service that really surprised me given its 5-star status and many rave reviews. My room was never made up and cleaned at all the first day of my stay. The concierge was brusque and perfunctory. Some kind of massive ill-managed and badly controlled press event in the lobby one morning made it nearly impossible for guests to get off the elevator, navigate the lobby, and escape through the front door. And despite a large number of uniformed waiters in the restaurant at breakfast, we, along with many other guests, nearly had to stand on our chairs and jump up and down in order to flag someone down just to refill our coffee cups.
The rooms are comfortable (mine had a beautiful view of the Prado), the public spaces are exquisite (carpets to die for throughout), the hotel could not be in a better location. But we found the service sadly lacking.

This afternoon, Microsoft release a new build of the Windows 10 Technical Preview, which is build number 10041. Just a few days ago, they promised to ramp up the builds, which have been stagnant since the January release. I have been running that build on my main computer since it was released, and several bugs have lingered which I kept hoping would be sorted out with a new build. Unfortunately it took almost two months to get a new build, and it is too early to see if some of the bugs have been sorted out.

O'Neill Cold Water Classic 2011 - New Zealand: Haere Mai Aoteaora - The Cold Water Classic Series is coming to New Zealand!!
Ein Surf Video von quattro_media - 3,933 views
The O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011 continues with its promise to push boundaries to find new remote waves around the world in which to host a world-class surfing competition series.
For 2011, the O'Neill CWC Series brings a 6 Star ASP World Tour event to Gisborne, on the North Island of New Zealand for the first time ever!
Gisborne is one place in the world that is all too familiar with "firsts". It is the first city in the world to greet the sun every morning. And it was the first area of New Zealand sighted by the crew of Captain James Cook's ship, the Endeavour. And now, between March 23 and March 29, 2011, it will be the first stop on the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011.
Sitting on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, Turanga Nui A Kiwa, is known for its high quality surf based on the coast's exposure to a 180-degree swell window. Add to this an assortment of reefs, beaches, points and bars all facing different directions, as well as a lack of crowds due to its remote location, and this is guaranteed to be an epic kick-off for the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011.
Following the launch in New Zealand, the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series will travel to its northernmost destination - Thurso, Scotland, for the 6 Star ASP World Tour event from April 13 until April 19, before culminating once again at the 6 Star Prime ASP World Tour event, the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series, California, in Santa Cruz, October 24-30, 2011.

Comics A.M. | Zunar speaks against 'cartoon' government
Creators | "This is really a government of the cartoon, for the cartoon and by the cartoon," Malaysian cartoonist Zunar said in an interview following the police raid on his Kuala Lumpur office. Zunar was in London at the time of the raid but expects to be summoned to the police station on his return to face charges under the Printing Presses Act, Sedition Act and Penal Code. "Why are the police involved in this?" he said. "If it is true I have defamed certain people, why not filed a civil suit? The government condemned Charlie Hebdo's attacker but now they are 'attacking' me." He also sent out some photos of the raid. [Malaysian Digest]
Freedom of Speech | Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch Asia, called the raid Zunar's office "shocking and outrageous" and demanded the government to return the confiscated books and drop all charges against him. [The Malaysian Insider]
Sean Murphy tackles creator's rights for conventions
Speaking up is a hard thing to do for many creators, because as freelancers they often work at the whim of others. But Sean Murphy has made a name for himself beyond his actual work as an outspoken member of the artist community. Recently, he took to his deviantART page to pull back the curtain on an overlooked aspect of a creator's life — one rife with doubts and unfulfilled promises, but with the occasional bright spot: conventions.
"While many of my pro friends are eternally grateful for their careers and for these generous invites, some of the shows are taking advantage of creators — ALL levels of creators — and not following through with what's promised," Murphy wrote. "Believe me, I love traveling and I want to visit all my readers in every country I can, but there's nothing worse than getting to the 'convention reserved' hotel room and finding out you wasted your money staying in some foreign ghetto."
While Murphy might now be in the upper echelon of creators vied for by conventions and stores, the New England artist has been attending cons for more than a decade.
Murphy is doing more than just complaining, however; he's offering a solution — what he calls a list of "Creator's Rights" pertaining to conventions.
Comics A.M. | Police raid office of Malaysian cartoonist Zunar
Legal | Kuala Lumpur police raided the office of the Malaysian cartoonist Zunar and seized 149 copies of his books Conspiracy to Imprison Anwar and Pirates of the Carry BN. They were looking for the cartoonist himself, but he was in the United Kingdom, speaking at Oxford and Cambridge universities and giving a talk in London titled "To Fight Through Cartoons." In a press release, Zunar said the raid occurred under the Printing Presses Act, Sedition Act and Penal Code, and that he would be called to the police station on his return to the country; he was arrested under that act in 2010. He also tweeted, "If the cartoons are defamatory, those who feel aggrieved should file a civil suit. No problem. I oppose the use of criminal laws like the Sedition Act" [The Malaysian Insider]
Political cartoons | Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Zineb El-Rhazoui, on a fundraising tour in Canada, said the terrorists who attacked the magazine's offices and killed 12 people were the ones who made a mockery of religion, not the cartoonists who drew caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. "This is the most ugly caricature, that this is the most ugly picture of their religion," she said. "It is not the pictures made by Charlie Hebdo." [CTV News]
Wizard World adds Fan Fest Chicago for March
Just a week after announcing the acquisition of Pittsburgh Comicon, Wizard World Inc. has added another event to its rapidly expanding roster — the awkwardly named Wizard World Comic Con Presents Fan Fest Chicago.
Set for March 7-8 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois (longtime location of Wizard World Chicago), Fan Fest Chicago is billed as "a 'thank you' to loyal Wizard World fans."
The admission price for Fan Fest Chicago will be considerably less expensive than most Wizard World conventions, at $25 for the weekend or $15 for either day. Additionally, those who have purchased VIP or four-day passes to the Aug. 20-23 Wizard World Chicago will be admitted for free to Fan Fest.
Wizard World adds Pittsburgh Comicon to its roster
Wizard World Inc. it has acquired the 20-year-old Pittsburgh Comicon from co-founder and owner Renee George, although there apparently is some question as to what that means. A message tweeted Sunday from the Pittsburgh Comicon account stated, "the show did not sell out to Wizard. A statement will be coming from Renee regarding the situation soon."
However, while there's still no statement on the convention's website or Facebook page, George is quoted extensively in the press release trumpeting the renamed Wizard World Comic Con Pittsburgh, scheduled for Sept. 11-13.
The addition of Pittsburgh brings the number of Wizard World events in 2015 to 25.
Comics A.M. | One party dropped from 'comic con' lawsuit [Updated]
Legal | There's one fewer party in the lawsuit over the use of the term "comic con": Newspaper Agency Corp., which produces materials for Salt Lake Comic Con, has settled with the organizers of Comic-Con International in San Diego. Comic-Con sued both in August, claiming trademark infringement. Update: A Comic-Con International spokesman clarified that the settlement with the Newspaper Agency Corp. — a printing, advertising and delivery company owned by The Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News under a joint operating agreement — is already in effect, with the company agreeing to a court order that prevents it from using the mark "Comic-Con," "Comic Con" or its variants in the materials it produces. The lawsuit against Salt Lake Comic Con organizers continues. [The Salt Lake Tribune]
Crime | Someone tossed a homemade fire bomb into the offices of the German newspaper Hamburger Morgenpost at about 2 a.m. on Sunday. Firefighters put out the fire quickly, and no one was in the offices at the time. The paper published three of the controversial Prophet Muhammad cartoons from Charlie Hebdo on Thursday with the headline "This much freedom must be possible!" [The Telegraph]

Comics A.M. | Police face 'Charlie Hebdo' suspects in twin siege
Crime | Police have surrounded an industrial park in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele, France, 25 miles north of Paris, where the two suspects in Wednesday's massacre at the offices of satire magazine Charlie Hebdo are believed to be hiding. Police say brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi have taken over a print shop and are holding a hostage, and have reportedly told negotiators they wish to die as martyrs. The Associated Press reports that a second, apparently linked siege at a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris is believed to involve Amedy Coulibaly, suspected of killing a police officer on Thursday.

Analysis | Rob Salkowitz kicks off the new year with big-picture questions about "geek culture": With the popularity of comics-based movies, will continuity and nostalgia become less important? And will comics themselves become less important? "Putting out comics is a relatively costly and troublesome process with limited revenue potential relative to other ways of exploiting the intellectual property. A fan base that buys licensed merchandise and watches entertainment programming without needing a monthly fix of new art and story is probably considered a feature of the new comics economy, not a bug." [ICv2]
Creators | Chew artist Rob Guillory, who will appear this weekend at Wizard World New Orleans, talks about the strange comics that he read as a kid (The Adventures of Kool-Aid Man) and the unexpected success of Chew, which will end next year with its 60th issue: "In the beginning, John and I were kind of like, 'Well, best-case scenario, we can go 60 issues. Worst-case scenario, we can do five and go our separate ways and never speak again.' I don't know if we've seen the peak of our reception. I don't think we'll see how popular we've been until it's over. When it's wrapped and it's the complete thing, I think people will start missing us." [Best of New Orleans]
Comics A.M. | Questions surround Cherry City Comic Con
Conventions | Vendors who paid the $60 deposit to exhibit at Cherry City Comic Con are clamoring for a refund after word circulated that the Salem, Oregon, convention won't happen this spring as planned. (There appears to have been some discussion about the con being canceled on Facebook, but the convention's Facebook page now states, "A marketing solutions company is helping us start the new year right and get us back on track to make this a successful show everyone can love." No other posts appear on the page.) This isn't the first round of controversy for the con: Last May, organizer Mike Martin called an exhibitor "batshit insane" on Facebook when she asked for a refund and expressed concern that the con would not be a "safe place for female cosplayers." Martin is also the organizer of a craft fair that was canceled; some exhibitors for that event were denied refunds because of "a locked PayPal account." [KOIN]
Comiket attracts 560,000 over three days
Comiket attracted a reported 560,000 attendees over the course of three days (Sunday to Tuesday), according to Anime News Network. That's a record for the winter edition of the biannual event — it's held in August and December — but about 30,000 shy of the all-time high set in summer 2013.
Held at the massive Tokyo Big Sight, the 39-year-old Comiket (aka Comic Market) is the largest comics festival in the world (Lucca Comics & Games is second, with paid attendance of about 240,000).
Comics A.M. | The rise, decline and rebirth of Valiant
Publishing | Abraham Riesman looks at the revival of Valiant, which was once the third-largest comics publisher in the United States and now, under new management, aspires to reclaim that position. The article covers the rise and fall of the original company, its rescue by now-CEO Dinesh Shamdasani, and the strategy the new Valiant has used to quickly build an audience for a different type of superhero comic.

Conventions | San Diego officials had to do some shuffling to accommodate the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, which will be played in the city in 2016, but they didn't move Comic-Con International, which is only a few days later. "Their attendees are such a unique group that they don't take well to change," said Joe Terzi, chief executive of the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau. "They plan their year around this event."

Comics A.M. | Theakston threatens action against Kirby Museum
Legal | Illustrator Greg Theakston tells The Comics Journal that during his Christmas vacation, he plans to file a police complaint against the Jack Kirby Museum and Research Center, alleging it stole about 3,000 photocopies of Kirby's pencil work. Theakston gave the photocopies to the museum, but he contends it was intended to be a loan, while the museum says it was an outright donation. If this sounds vaguely familiar, it's because Theakston has been threatening legal action since August. [The Comics Journal]

Comics A.M. | Putting 'Star Wars' #1 sales in historical context
Publishing | John Jackson Miller reflects on the news that the first issue of Marvel's Star Wars will sell 1 million copies, and notes the last comic to do so was a Pokemon title in 1999. The last direct market comic to reach that mark was Batman #500 in 1993. Miller also delves deeper into history, pointing out that Marvel's original Star Wars #1, released in 1977, also sold more than 1 million copies, making it the first comic to reach that height since Dell's Uncle Scrooge in 1960. [Comichron]
Passings | Maurice Tanti Burlo, editorial cartoonist for the Times of Malta, has died at the age of 78. Burlo, who used the pen name Nalizpelra, was working for Telemalta in 1977 when Prime Minister Dom Mintoff suspended a number of Telemalta staff, including Burlo, for supporting doctors, nurses, and bankers who went on strike. Burlo started cartooning to "get back at Mintoff," and just kept on doing it; he published three books of his work and won the BPC Award in 1998 an 2002. [Times of Malta]
Comics A.M. | Store suffers reported $300,000 loss in burglary
Crime | Wichita, Kansas' KWCH TV is showcasing the Nov. 19 burglary of comics and collectibles store Riverhouse Traders as its Crime Stoppers crime of the week. The thieves apparently knew what they were looking for, and stole a reported $300,000 worth of rare comic books and memorabilia, leaving owner Mark Rowland with an unwanted shift in priorities: He has always given free comics to local children who get As on their report cards, and he provides gifts to local families at Christmas, but this year he has to cut back to pay for a security system.

Creators | Writer Jeff Lemire and artist Terry Dodson discuss their new graphic novel Teen Titans: Earth One. George Perez and Marv Wolfman's Teen Titans were Lemire's gateway to comics, so he was particularly enthusiastic about this project, and, he that affected his choice of a cast: "My decision early on was just to use the unique characters that Marv and George created that weren't sidekicks, and that freed me from having to establish the adult superheroes in this world."

Usain Bolt lightning bolt photo: How amazing shot at world track championships came about
"With only a thumbnail at first, I didn't even see the lightning in the background," photographer says
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The French photographer who captured the "once-in-a-lifetime" moment of Usain Bolt reclaiming his sprint champion title under a lightning bolt-lit sky isn't giving himself much credit for the shot.
"In my 25 years as a photographer I've never had an uncontrollable external element make a photo like this, and I imagine if I tried again for a similar result for the next 50 years, it wouldn't happen again," Agence France Presse photographer Olivier Morin writes on the news agency blog.
"So, I only really give myself credit for one per cent of this picture!"
The photograph, celebrated as an extraordinary moment when the world's fastest man and Mother Nature meet in perfect synchronicity, shows Bolt crossing the finish line in the 100-metre race at the world track and field championships in Moscow on Sunday just as the stormy purple sky splits with lightning.
Morin says it took him a while to realize what one of his five remote cameras had picked up.
"The remote-controlled camera that took this picture was the fifth of my rig, set pretty far back, about 30 metres, from the finish line. I was thinking more along the lines of an enduring feature photograph, rather than your typical news shot."
When Bolt crossed the finish line, Morin fired the five remote-controlled cameras with his foot switch and the camera in his hands.
"My hand-held shots are transmitted directly to AFP's photo editors, while those from the remote-controlled device go straight to my laptop.
"I started looking through these images one at a time" and one camera at a time; the fifth camera was last.
"I admit, with only a thumbnail view at first, I didn't even see the lightning in the background, but after a moment I saw four photos with the bolt in the sky.
"Two of these weren't usable because the cloud was too dark and the lightning was hard to see. But with the other two images, thanks to a little luck, the lightning is nice and visible; I'd gotten 'the' shot."

UPDATE 8:45 A.M.: Both eastbound I-94 lanes now open after crash
Both lanes of eastbound Interstate 94 east of Alexandria re-opened at 8:45 a.m. this morning, Wednesday.
The lanes were closed following a semi rollover at about 5:15 a.m. to allow crews to clean up debris in the median.
Eastbound traffic was being re-routed through Alexandria on Highway 29 and east to Osakis on old Highway 27 (now known as County Road 82 East).

Monitoring kwh from A/C Unit
I'm monitoring the KWH drawn from my 1989 Carrier 48NLT 030 gas-pack that is being replaced soon (live in CA). It is fed by two single-phase (110) legs from my main breaker/panel.
Question: I was told the unit would draw (approximately) the same current from each line. Is this true?
I installed a Current-Transformer w/Watt-Hour meter (EKM-15E 120v) onto ONE of the legs and was told to double the amount to get the total KWH drawn. The watt-hour readings show the AC using ~1200 of the total 1500 kwhs my home has drawn the last few weeks. That's 80%, sounds too high.
I do know my baseline home draws around .5-.75kw baseline w/out any major appliances running. The AC itself draws about 3.4kw when the ambient temps are 100F+ (~400w just for the blower), under 3kw when in mid-80s -- that reading is in-line with the manuf stated electrical specs. Of course, the other appliances that draw anything significant are the range, oven, microwave, and dryer.
If memory serves, I was also told I could fit BOTH legs through the CT and it would monitor the kwh accurately -- as long as I reversed one of the wires using an S loop, otherwise together they would read 0. That sound accurate? I only have a few days left of monitoring, otherwise I'd run out and get a 2nd EKM and just install it.
Kirchoff's law in electricity says that the current going in to any device has to equal the current coming out. If there are only two wires going into the unit then the current flow is the same on both legs. The power used is if he device is purely resistive, is 240 times the current in either leg. An A/C compressor is primarily a big motor, so the load is not purely resistive, so you have Power Factor in the mix which will reduce the actual power from Volts x Amps by whatever the power factor (a number less than or equal to one).
If your device is purely a current transformer it is introducing errors for two reasons:
1. The voltage may be more or less than the 110V you're using as the nominal line voltage in your calculations.
2. It is not taking into account power factor.
Power factor for an A/C is probably around 90%.
Power is volts x amps x power factor.
Power factor is an expression of how well aligned the voltage and current waveforms are.
Induction motors have a powder factor based on the load they are driving.
If you want to measure actual power you need a watt-hour meter.
Their design accounts for power factor.
>>> If you want to measure actual power you need a watt-hour meter.
>>> the nominal line voltage in your calculations.
I'm not doing any calculations (other than subtraction =), I'm just reading the watt-hour meter: EKM-15e Watt-Hour Meter
It has a CT connected to the measuring device, shows a running kwh total.
The electrical specs on the gas-pack unit have the basic data, but I can't find the PFR. Compressor running/startup amps 14RLA 86LRA, fan motor has 0.6FLA, Evap Fan motor has 0.6FLA. 21.2MCA, 30MOCP
The EKM meter SHOULD account for power factor AND voltage,correct?
Thanks for helping!
Assuming the EKM is working correctly, it should account for the power factor. It also should not be negatively impacted by voltage variations. My only question is "What are you trying to accomplish?". Depending on the temperature, and the insulation of the house, using 1200kwh in 3 weeks is not out of the question. If you let us know what problem you are trying to resolve, we may be able to help.
>>> What are you trying to accomplish? To know how much the AC portion of our monthly bill is, obviously. hehe
Reasons: 1) I-told-you-so factor. We've had unit for a long time and even though it ran like a champ with few problems, it's been very inefficient. We're running 13k kwh/yr (way too high for our home w/out any major appliances like pool, spa, etc). We've been told this by 2 energy auditors, local utility, and other folks. It was much higher until I personally made DIY changes over the years, incld insulation (r45+ avg), duct sealing (14% leakage), sealing the envelope (1000 @50pascals), radiant barrier, cfl bulbs, reflective windows, weather sealing, .... Let's just say the AC is the last item being replaced and it probably should've been the first. Oh, I'm married BTW.
2) Estimate sizing for a new SolarPV system. I'll be over-sized if I use my current kwh usage, since I'm upgrading the AC at the same time as the panels. Need a baseline of old AC to estimate new with x% more efficient unit....
>>> since he is measuring from neutral (or ground?) co
The CT is the CB panel placed on L1 hot side just before it connects to the control switch on the dbl-pole breaker. In my (laymen) terms, it's a big blue donut on the wire a few inches from the breaker screw.
>>>You need a 240 V watt-hour meter to correctly measure a 240 V load.
Darn, that's not what the folks from the electric supply place told me when I bought this. If $$ was their interest, they would've just pushed to buy a more expensive 240V one. "Put it on one leg and just multiply by two will get you pretty close" was the directive.
But that's why I'm asking you guys to verify that assumption based on my hardware & install.
"pretty close"
You probably are "pretty close."
If you actually put both legs through the pickup coil it is probably even closer, but still off for the voltage.
Electricians rarely carry about exact power measurements.
They are interested in the current being used since that determines wire size.
>>> If you actually put both legs through the pickup coil it is probably even closer, but still off for the voltage.
That sounds like the opposite of what you said earlier, but I guess the difference is "correctly" vs. "pretty close".
>> Electricians rarely carry about exact power measurements.
OK, neither do I. Even within 10% is good enough for me. Maybe I"ll try to put both legs through it for the last couple days here...
Thanks for the help!! I'm still continually amazed what the Internet has done to connect people who volunteer their skills & experience.
>>> If you put both lets through the pick up coil it will read zero.
Not per the instructions given to me.
OP: >>>If memory serves, I was also told I could fit BOTH legs through the CT and it would monitor the kwh accurately -- as long as I reversed one of the wires using an S loop, otherwise together they would read 0.
After my last post, I spent some time out there and ran the L2 through the CT at the same time, but in the opposite direction, so both legs are now being monitored by the same CT+meter. It appears to be working great. The estimates of the last couple hours are in-line with the multiply L1x2 method. These EKM units are inexpensive and seem to be working great.
I'll test accuracy tomorrow against both the utility meter & my own full panel watt-hour meter (shut most everything else off, get a baseline, then turn on the AC and compare it against the full panel readings). That would've been the best direction to begin with. But I appreciate everyone's help!
"If you put both lets through the pick up coil it will read zero."
Not if they are in opposite directions, meaning the currents will add.
It will tend to cancel the voltage error (120 V vs. 240 V) but still not be as accurate as using the correct 240 V watt hour meter.
