To the electrically-minded people on the site; I need help with a wiring problem
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Bugger (3639 D)

We have two timers connected to separate outlets. Both timers are connected to the pump.

When only timer A is plugged in, it functions as it should, the pump works when its on and doesnt when its off.

When only timer B is plugged in, it also functions as it should, the pump working when its on and not when its off.

But when both are plugged in, the pump runs regardless of the switches being on or off. (When both switches are off, its still runs)

http://picasaweb.google.com/cmangsen/Design?authkey=Gv1sRgCPztyqu8rIH3BA#5465049393451430738

Here is a rough drawing of how its set up.

If anyone can explain to me why the way we have it wired is not working or explain how to wire it to make it work as we want (with both timers being able to operate the pump) I'd greatly appreciate it.

Why don't you just come down to Marcus 5. Plenty of people can help diagnose the problem.

Are you sure those wires aren't in series?

I'm in class till 4. Also, people on the web don't laugh in your face about poor attempts by Mechies to wire something :P

Will you/people I know still be there after 4ish?

I can be there at 4 and will look at it if you want. I'd rather do that than give you advice based on an MS Paint schematic and have you kill yourself : )

Heh, nvm, they figured it out while I was sleeping. We were plugging the neutral on the timer switch into the hot from the outlet, apparently. So when the timer switch was off, it was cutting off the neutral, not the hot, so the hot from the timer switch was still going through to the pump, while the neutral from the apc was also still going through, completing the circuit. (so on my ms paint schematic, the black from the timer switch is hot..)

Interesting...Next time you deal with AC, it may help to have a consultant for safety...

We only tripped the circuit a few dozen times before we got it right. :-)

(and by a few dozen I actually mean 4-5 times :-P)

Baby needs urgent help
So in Kid Cudi's song "Soundtrack to my life", there's a short guitar/piano riff which I'm pretty sure is originally from another song. Here's a link to Kid Cudi's song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-XW-fCoGE8

At 52 seconds, the riff starts (it's the high pitch riff). I can't remember which song that riff is originally in and it's killing me to the point that it's adversely affecting my work and my performance in live wta gunboats.

Wasr Is Not A Game (But When It Was... How Did You Like Playing It?)
Let's be honest: nearly all boys love to play war at some time in their life. REAL war is no game, but... again, to be honest, playground wars ARE one fun game! ;) So... what'd you guys play? "Cowboys and Indians?" "American Revolution?" "World Wars?" With what? How? War might bee hell, I'm sure it is... but when you're ten years old and with buddies on the playground, it can be an awesome afternoon (with exercise... and no blood, gore, and video game gut!) ;)

This is NOT about abortion

I'm hoping it doesn't turn into that. But what do you think, a doctor is now allowed to legally withhold information from you to influence your decision?

sticky posts
it has occurred to me that several threads in the forum keep coming up (ie: not posting accusations in the forum, email mods for questions). id like to see the mods sticky these kinds of forums to cut back on the recursiveness and give all the newbs some up front and relatively pertinent information.
