Top 5 Science Myths: #3 Down The Plughole | twentyfirstfloormirror (wordpress.com) links not working for some reason, but a quick google will settle it. Regarding sockets in bathrooms etc, I worked for a guy who did a lot of domestic. He was happy for someone in the bath to be able to reach up...

It was NZ Mr Evans and I still have a permit so might go back there! Australia is considered one of NZs islands, North Island, South Island and the big West Island........... The plug hole thing is a myth apparently its the first thing I checked when I got there..... I stand by my comments... I...

G day mate.... so are you really in Oz? which part? tell us a bit about yourself. Welcome to TEF

I don't have an alexa nor do I want one, recently put new nextbase camera in the car and that comes with an alexa - not installing that! Its not just the alexa, its your phone as well. Have a conversation and it listens in and picks up key words. Next thing you are getting ads about what you...

I did something similar a couple of years ago when I built my garage. I wanted a 32a supply so I ran 6mm t&e under the floor to the point where I wanted to connect my SWA for the short underground run to the garage. As you say the earth is only 2.5 on 6mm so I also ran some 6mm single earth...

Good point. I was after a chest freezer and currys had one at a good price and said on the ebay advert they had some in stock so I ordered and paid for one. Got all the usual correspondence then 3 days later get a message that my order has been cancelled as theres no stock and nothing like it...

how recently? take it back and say youre not happy with it, then buy it again

usually they just push in. strip back about 10mm and push firmly into respective terminals

the motor can be 3 phase if running from an inverter on a single phase supply

I would use a 4x4 plastic box, neweys ones are quite robust , dont forget to use the earthing ring on the gland to connect the steel armouring. 6mm insulated crimps if you can't get wagos that big.

ah sorry not paying attention, still if both radials tripping under current draw then its likely that neutrals are mixed.

went for lunch and the plasterer was fitting board to the ceiling. I warned him to make sure he brought my cables through the board. I came back after lunch and the ceiling was complete and skimmed. No sign of the cables. I asked him where they were and he said (Irish Accent) "Surely you have a...

my money would be on the 2 neutrals of the radials being mixed up. I take it one radial is on each side of the RCD board? There are 3 neutral bars inside the board. A main one where all the sub parts of the board - eg the 2 RCDs are fed from and then one each for the output side of each RCD fed...

three phase motor will work with an inverter on a single phase supply

In an ideal world and from experience on larger well run contracts, 2nd fix comes after the place has been painted and decorated. the only mess is from bits of cable from the connections, the odd bit of plaster where a box has to be cleared out. Where a ceiling or wall has to be boarded, I...

why not get a 3 phase motor and an inverter?

Probably anti reflection. I have a 10 year old plasma with a glass screen and thats terrible for reflections

No its no good, tried to polish scratches out but thats taken off some kind of coating so its toast. However, I have learned a huge amount about these kind of TVs and know how to test for backlighting etc and prove the backlighting with tester before ordering replacement boards etc. Don't know...

its now scrap. I was trying to lift it up onto a frame I built to work on it, I inadvertently managed to scratch the screen in 2 places and cant be polished out as theres some kind of coating on it. Gutted
