Oh I see

Someone who knows how to really steer a car

[34GeeTeeTee]

Yeah and a fair few didn't even notice lol.....

You would have seen him on the 86 ads that are always on.... He is awesome!

[34GeeTeeTee]

How hard is it to wire up 3 phase power? And how expensive?

[Ruxis]

for your hoist?

[wedge_r34gtr]

I forgot about 3 mainly cause of the big turd that it is

EDIT. Bout the only good bit of that movie was the stuck up blonde getting injured at the start

Oh and trying to drift a FWD Lancer on the docks with expert commentary from the old fisherman

The dirty blond was pretty funny,

I thought they just droped the front shaft out of a ralliart lancer?

Nope, have access to a tire machine.... But it's 3 phase

pretty epensive if its at home? is it 415 or 240?

Either way, I'd say they would have to run a seperate line to the transformer for 3 phase.

Sounds sucky might give that a miss by the sounds of it...

do you already have 3 phase in your switchboard??

do you have rewireable fuses or circuit breakers in your switch board?

if you picture digging a trench from your switchboard to your garage, is it a easy path?

why do you NEED three phase?

these questions answer yours

[wedge_r34gtr]

a mate of mine done a uni project on converting single phase to 3 phase power last year.

Uni projects are generally based on something that has already been done so there might be an off the shelf unit that does it

ah yes, keep forgetting your a sparky

[Ruxis]

you could buy a single phase motor from the tire machine maker perhaps? could bolt on?

[34GeeTeeTee]

I still need to dig that trench anyway as there is NO power there yet... So that's not an issue!!

The hoist I want can be single phase if it needs as they are cheap enough...

[Ruxis]

yeah id avoid it ay, if you dont have 3 phase in your board already defs dont even bother.

gotta get a linesman in like integral or something, they dont get paid heaps good for nothing

[34GeeTeeTee]

ah yes, keep forgetting your a sparky

Oh yeah, I forgot too lol.....

[Ruxis]

if there were no rules and you dug the trench i could do it in a couple hours for ya hah. but im not a tradesman etc etc etc

Well hurry up and get your trade

[Ruxis]

ahh but you overlook the etc etc etc haha.

i get my trade in december then ill look into getting everything i need to do it for you!

How many wires from the pole to the house?

Is the tyre machine cheap enough as in a couple of hundred or is it more than that?

Also be very careful what type of arm it has as some can move when taking off or fitting tyres and can scratch rims

Also a good idea to have one or two 15 amp outlets in a garage as well for welders or compressers if needed

EDIT just my 2c worth

At the rate I work it'll probably take that long to dig the trench

Yeah hopefully I can keep chipping away at debts and then be able to afford to wire up the shed and ONE day get a hoist so it makes it easier to work on our cars
