M107. I sympathise with it slowing you down to start with. But not all of us had a good dad to show us how to go on. My 'master ' used to get well annoyed with my lack of skills at first. But given time with the right people I soon put him to shame. Just to get back at him for humiliating me...

What I was getting at is the socket is rated and therefore the plug is rated for the breaker. Probably why the 4343's do their job so well. But it dosent excuse the scrubber thing being incorrectly plugged. 30a not 32a 3,300÷110=30 I've had too much to drink to think now. Bed time.

But it (the socket) won't get the full 32a the tx is rated for. If it were on a 32a plug it wouldn't be a problem except we don't have a 32a socket tx and that will be more hire cost.

Anyway I'm not too worried because our tx has each socket outlet on a c16 MCB. Sorry Andy I took that part out of my post. I thought it a bit liable to war.

What I allow and what happens are not the same thing.

Ha. It took me yonks to fathom out the 4h 6h and others on the 4343. Then one day I was peering in to a red plug with a reversible l1 and l2 prong and it just fell into place.... Its sadly not my call to send it back but I will make the recommendation. Idiots us a bit harsh though. People who...

So Andy should I be snipping the plug off tomorrow or 'having a word' the hire company? Its wired in what appears (like I said I only glanced at this thing by the clock machine) to be 3x 2,5 so current cap of cable will be OK....

Its 3.3 kva 10 mins on 10 off. Out of the engineers workshop. Which also narced me cause it disappeared with a mains extension rather than the 110 extension lead. I needed that to charge the cherry picker and couldn't so tomorrow will be a diesel powered day. It goes faster on diesel. I...

Our work just hired a 110v floor scrubber. It runs off a yellow box transformer with a 16a yellow plug fitted. It has come from a reputable hire company with a green OK to use sticker dated last week. Now I have not done much more than spy this unit on my way home but I did see it was rated at...

Sproketflup I don't think so. Not unless it was about landrovers or the sultans of ping. As to the sack. It is good to hear yes. I will strive to learn from my mistakes and help others not to make the same mistakes. I remember someone at work destroyed a PLC by using PNP stuff on npn...

Thank you zimmy I might well do that if its genuine. I recently took the c+g on 17ed 2008. £400 quid. Plus book. Another 80. I scored 98%. Or one question wrong I think. Then I bought the on site guide. My oth but I can not afford the inspection and test course. I think work might now put me...

Ouch important warnings for all electricians. Good forum that. We all make mistakes. I won't be making that mistake again. I especially liked the bloke who chopped in to next doors supply. Over and out. Seems a lot of you are free on the castigation but mercifully a few of you are free on...

Contain it. As for the previous question I think the answer is pull it from the supply and remove it from that end. Criticism taken. I think I'll let this alone now. Thanks all for your accommodating responses.

Prep it. I mean to wrap it up/boot it like everyone has suggested so that the supplying end can be found leaving the cut end in as safe a situation as possible. I'm terminating nothing unless the ends are dead. So multimeter's are a no no. We are relying on a volt stick to say its dead. The...

I meant to prep end not strip and prep.

Oh I see. He was suggesting the gloves to tape it up. I was unclear there.

My h+s man said I was right to leave it alone.

Had my meeting today. Our h+s manager rollicked me (rightly) over banging it out. We will be issued with volt sticks and live working stuff( gauntlets tools) to strip and prep end of cable. He saw the cable end with its hairy wires and agreed with me that to handle this would have been in...

I like the shut down idea! Let me put the mindset in place. We have no earthloop impedance tester No RCD tester. Too expensive. Consequently nothing is certificated. When I have requested one I have been laughed out of the office. (How much?!) Pointing out the regs gets reactions like...

No think a girder but with square section. A square tube. Welded seam used to make structural stuff. Like angle iron. You can't open it. In this instance clearly used as trunking. Its not uncommon in factories and machines. Often a fish wire is used to pull a bunch of cable tied wires through...
