You could just use 50mm welding cable or 50mm H07, you will find both of these everywhere.. How you planning on terminating the ends?? john..

Can i give you some advice?? You will never find the fault... 1, as said, you are wasting your time with a multimeter, what voltage does it use to test?? about 2 volts or something. An insulation tester, mine goes up to 1000v. entirely different. With one of these, you "might" find the fault is...

You are completely wasting your time... As for digging the cable up, that would be barmy. Trying to joint it, would be even worse. Just disconnect it both ends and test it with a proper insulation tester, anything else and you are not going to get anywhere. Might i suggest getting an...

Dear me... all this talk about "extraneous conductive part" ??? The armour of a cable is there for TWO reasons; 1, to be used as a CPC, and 2, To protect those that may damage the cable from electric shock. It is NOT NOT NOT just there to provide mechanical protection, it is to provide shock...

Seen this?? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/recovery-operators-working-with-electric-vehicles Would not want one of the things.. john..

All of these videos i have seen are from idiot americans. Just because they have a truck they think they can do as they like. Ok, the car driver must be an idiot, but in all the videos i have seen the truck driver makes no attempt at all to brake, they just gleefully ram the car. They should be...

Yes, but that is not the drivers fault. The speed limit is 60mph. Thanks to the euro twats, the things are limited to 90 KMH. In practice they are all limited to between 54 and 56 mph. You start overtaking another truck on a slope perhaps, you are part way past, and the speed limiter comes in...

Ok, i am certainly no electrician, and the bit of pipework with the valve wants bonding, but as for the rest, [and in the same situation in other buildings] why would you not just test if the pipework was an extraneous part, and if not, forget about it?? john..

That is all truly, truly impressive!! You have done VERY well.. john..

Measure the voltages between the brown, the black and the grey and earth [ground] and see what you have. john..

Yes they can. Much is made of the supposed legal fact that a tenant can make a landlord do repairs. In practice, you just get evicted. You can be evicted anytime the landlord likes, they just have to gove you 2 months notice i think it is..

Hi All, Just found this. A proper sub that can go anywhere, even to the seabed in the deepest part of ANY ocean, AND, it is all properly certified.. Not saying i would go on it out of choice, but it makes going to the titanic like stepping in a puddle...

Before they need the fire brigade.. john..

If the blowout preventer is needed to operate. Is the well then useless, or does the pressure subside, take off the BOP and pull the drill out and start again, or are things not that simple?? john..

I have a three phase supply to my shed. They try that and they will be getting their meter back... john..

Wow! that is amazing!! I would imagine depth perception is difficult as you do not have binocular vision. What is that just down from the top of the pipe?? Looks like a huge buttress thread?? God knows how you fly the thing and operate the arm. Must be like operating an excavator, only you...

I think that anyone would have thought it a privilege to have done that!!! I can well believe the pressure would have been terrible.. Amazing thing to have been involved with though!! Is there any current down there?? Does this make things difficult?? Wnen you are trying to place and postion...

Yes they will; Anything that gives rise to "notch effect" and concetrates stress will do it. Notches, cracks, surface marks and scratches, anything that acts as a "discontinuity" This is why years ago engine tuners used to polish con rods and the like to remove such things. One thing that winds...

With the magnetic particle inspection then, they must have turned the current on and sort of rubbed the iron filings stuff on with their hands to see where it stuck?? Must have been hard to see as on dry land they spray the area with white paint first. I suppose that in the middle of the north...

How did they do the crack detection at the bottom of the sea?? How did the welds last?? We were taught that if something fails as a result of abuse, then you can probably repair it. If however, it fails as a result of normal use, then it is a design fault and if you merly "repair" it, it will go...
