    3 Phase Motor 2.5mm 30A Mcb

    Yes, I'm now thinking I may be wrong having thought about it, but for some reason I felt I had come across this in the past, still felt Code 3 more appropriate though. I gather it's a small hydraulic single lift installed some 20 years ago, 3 phase  motor, wired with 2.5mm SWA to a 30A Mcb.

    3 Phase Motor 2.5mm 30A Mcb

    So today had a call from another contractor asking if a 3 Phase Lift Motor wired in 2.5mm on a 30A Mcb was a Code 2. Cable undersized for fuse rating, should be 20A or cable size increased.

    Do Not Switch Off

    My thoughts were surely the label should be suffice and I had assumed for the best part of my life that these were "Lock Off Kits" and not "Lock on Kits" Whats stopping someone applying locks to both devices thinking they are doing right. I don't believe "Locked On" can be acceptable  in any...

    Should be back up by 10:30pm tonight, but I'm not bothering then. I contacted Domainmonsters.com, who replied saying they were in contact with the owners. If the are going to market the use of online services they must offer 24Hr support, we don't all have weekends off.
