1
Came out to do some work on this little well pump.
2
Here's a big, chonky, soft start that starts it.
3
Got some current monitoring, some overload action, and here's the well head.
4
This ain't your grandma's well pump.
5
This thing's no joke.
6
I'm not sure how deep it is, but it is a 250 horsepower, according to the nameplate.
7
I'm not about to pull it up and verify.
8
But anyway, I came here to take some current readings, or at least I was attempting to, until I got distracted with how the magnetic field was affecting my amp clamp.
9
I need to focus.
10
This is ridiculous.
11
The regular amp clamp won't fit around those parallel sets of 500s, so I'm going to have to break out the old flaccid clamp 5000 to get around all of them at once.
12
What?
13
But it did start making me think.
14
When I have parallels, should I measure all of them at once, or should I measure them individually and add them?
15
I guess it depends on what cranky old electrician taught you, but I decided to try both.
16
So here I am measuring them all at once and I got a value of 295 amps.
17
So now we're going to go ahead back to the regular clamp and do them one at a time.
18
We got 97 for one of our parallels, 101 .5 for another one,
19
and way in the back we can stuff the old meter in there.
20
Got the clamp closed.
21
We got 99 .4.
22
Now just do some quick maths and we know that we have 297 .9 as a total.
23
So we're a little above that 295.
24
Now motor loads do vary a little bit and my meters haven't been calibrated since I bought them, but it's pretty close.
25
So if you just want a total, go ahead and wrap it around all three parallels.
26
But if you want something more accurate, I would also measure them one at a time.
27
And remember, this is all within the same phase.
28
So if you see a big imbalance between parallels, you might have a wire going bad.
29
Or it's just a really janky installation.
30
That's why they tell you to take the same path and make them the same length.
31
But it's all information you're missing out on if you just measure the total.
32
So this is what I'm going to try to do from now on.
33
See you next time.

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 10 次缩略和弱读形式,例如 I'm, we're, ain't。请按听到的简短形式来说。

  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: electrician /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪʃən/, installation /ˌɪn.stəˈleɪ.ʃən/
  • 长单词——注意重音位置: electrician /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪʃən/, individually /ˌɪndɪˈvɪd͡ʒ(u)əli/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, installation /ˌɪn.stəˈleɪ.ʃən/

中文母语者容易读错的音:

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/,上齿轻触下唇: overload /ˌəʊvəˈləʊd/, verify /ˈvɛɹɪfaɪ/, individually /ˌɪndɪˈvɪd͡ʒ(u)əli/
  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚,后面不要加元音: clamp /ˈklæmp/, calibrate /ˈkæl.ɪ.bɹeɪ̯t/, flaccid /ˈflæ(k)sɪd/, overload /ˌəʊvəˈləʊd/, distract /dɪˈstɹækt/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: calibrate /ˈkæl.ɪ.bɹeɪ̯t/, electrician /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪʃən/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频,不要开口,记下不认识的单词。
  2. 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟读,熟练之后再回到正常速度。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 clamp, calibrate, electrician 这类单词。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
