I have discovered that the EPS live and neutral to the two freezers from my Sofar HYD5000-ES are reversed: Live to Neutral 240V Neutral to Earth 240V Live to Earth 3V The non-critical circuits are correct, neutral to earth 3 Volts. I traced the connections back to the EPS terminals on the...

I saw a video of a UK fire brigade tackling a burning EV. They submerged it into portable tank of water and left it for 3 days........

When you get to the situation where the thermostat is set to 20C, but the red neon is off and the room feels cold. Slowly turn the thermostat down until you hear it click. Read the thermostat setting, let's say it clicked at 18C. Now slowly turn the thermostat up until it clicks. Does the...

There's an overall wiring diagram that shows a single gang disconnector on the EPS output (I have a double pole) And a double pole RCD in the "Distribution Box" (CU) with a "QF rated to AS3000" Which appears to be an obsolete Australian ? spec.

Anyone please ?

My inverter has a 13 Amp EPS output. I intend to cable this via a 16 Amp disconnector to a 2 gang socket outlet using 2.5mm2 T&E, to power a fridge-freezer, and a freezer. Spec for the fridge-freezer is 0.77 Amp, and for the freezer 0.4 Amp, with 1.4 Amps on defrost. Should I just rely on the...

At the TV News station us video editors used to send the new journalists out for some more timecode......... :-> (Those HH:MM:SS:FF numerals displayed on video, used to determine where edits occur)

Was cold-called by EDF to install a Smart Meter "as we're in the area". After 30 minutes of filling in the details he read it back: ".........and Economy 7" "No, Economy 10" Short pause and a sigh. "Next time we call, please advise you have E10, as Smart Meters don't yet do E10"

"I'm assured by a BMW senior tech that on the i3 it does not have charging profiles as per alternator equipped vehicles, it has a DC to DC charger like an intelligent home charger and doesnt need to know about the replacement." So fake news from BMW dealers, to convince owners that only dealers...

"the monitoring software only records the date". Not so. "The capacity and state of health of the 12v battery is tracked so when the battery is replaced you have to reset the capacity tracking in the computer" You have avoided the situation most i3 owners will find themselves in. Paying the...

Most i3 owners will be stranded at the side of the road or at home when the 12v battery fails. Back at the BMW workshop they will install the BMW recommended battery and perform the reset of the monitoring software. Most i3 owners won't have the means of doing that. All that will be, as I...

BMW i3's exhibit all sorts of strange problems when the 12V auxiliary battery starts to fail. Often after only a few years, and very expensive to replace. My Outlander PHEV also depends on the 12V aux battery to boot the HV systems, but mine is still on the original 2014 battery. Why is the i3...

Why are you thinking of replacing the Dimplex units ? I don't think the new ones will be significantly more efficient, same old hot elements and bricks in both ? Our 30 year old Dimplex's still going strong , I believe replacement elements are easily available if one has burnt out.

That amount of limescale may mean that the horizontal run to the valve is blocked ?

The recommendation for panels ending 20cm before the edge of the roof is to reduce the chances of wind blowing the panels off the roof the next time Mr Fish gets the weather report wrong.......

Try switching CH and HW between OFF and 24HRS and feel/hear for the motorised valves operating. You can remove the "tin boxes" and operate the valves by hand, that might clear the action if stuck The signs of leakage on the HW valve could be a clue.

Dew on the lens. Unless the change from Portrait to Landscape aspect ratio is a clue ?
