    Disconnection time

    Doc Is it acceptable to use abbreviations such as BRB or BGB or is this too SMSy too? Showers do have on the packet (well mira ones that I likes to fit do) a wattage for the voltages for both 230 and 240 volts, from which you can check if the manufacturer is aware of ohms law derive the...

    What is the best TOOLBELT

    Ha ha ha, is it because of the dewalt yellow and black reminiscent of double yellow lines? :) I like to have everything with me, especially when 2nd fixing domestics or first visit to faults. I am also tempted by CK Magma Electrician's Toolbelt Set MA2715. My biggest problem is that I...

    20-Pocket Electrician's Combo Tool Belt : Bucket Boss, Tool Bags, Dead On Hammers, Maasdam Come-alongs, CLC Custom Leathercraft, Seber Knife, DeWalt, TommyCo, Work Gear, Pullr, Pullzall is the best I seen so far, that alligator thing seems a bit big

    What is the best TOOLBELT

    I use a general one like this Silverline 395015 11 Pocket Leather Double Tool Pouch but it annoys me that I always put things back in the wrong places. So I want one that has a shaped place for each of the usual tools. Any suggestions welcome. Regards Martin

    Lighting cct help

    If you are trying to test the strength of a dialectric, then to me using the highest test voltage available seems to me to be good sense. But I do concede that there may only be a marginal improvement over using 500Vs, but any thing I can get going my way in these situations I do. I am...

    Lighting cct help

    Hi I would definitely look for the pinched cable. First I would close all of the light switches so that they are all on. As we want every piece of wire to be tested. Then I would remove all lamps and link out any dimmers. Then I would test IR at 1000v with the 2 way switches operated in both...

    Ze Too High

    Just to come back to the OP original point. I had a Ze of 346 ohms the other day. Called the DNO, they attnded confirmed the reading and in the middle of the night came back and did something in the road. Next day Ze is 0.14 ohms

    PIR coding "quiz"

    Wouldn't it be more fun to state which is the primary regulation number being contravened for each picture and why?

    RCD for shower circuit

    I would not do this as I think it would exceed (might) the total rating of the old wylex board. Surely Splitting the tails would be better?? Martin

    This machine blew my clamp meter up.

    I think that is a true sentiment that I share. I told him to lock it off until it is fixed. Which he has now done. Day two of the fixing is happening tommorrow

    This machine blew my clamp meter up.

    Right I have the dreaded lurgi today and feel completely ****. So to take the points in turn. I have used 6 by 50mm copperstrip to connect the MET to the spike. The machine RF travelling around it what the RF guy is sorting out. I will go and see him later if I manage to drag myself out of my...

    This machine blew my clamp meter up.

    I may decline the work on the machine itself. I have found that there is an earthrod already installed and connected to that. it gives a very satisfying 0.14 ohms reading on my 4 wire earthe electrode resistance meter. I have soley bonded the machine to this and upgraded the bond from the...

    This machine blew my clamp meter up.

    The bloke who came to look at it agrees with you (about the full weld current passing through the machine and the bonding), he said there is stray RF everywhere and has given me alist of bonding tasks to do. He says being an indian built machine there are a lot of improvements that can be...

    This machine blew my clamp meter up.

    This is a RF welder with a serious fault, without any disrespect to you but have you any experience fixing machines welding at around 30MHz? I don't think the client is going to want to pay if it does not get fixed. If you want to come and make an assessment you are welcome to do so. But you...
