just because its a waste doesn't mean I dont have to do it.

we have to follow a spec as well.

and I was only talking about swa in the short jump from trunking to panel anyway.

quite often we end up bushing directly into the panel and not through the gland plates so its perfectly acceptable (I would prefer the gland plates though)

I know sometimes we have to follow a spec no matter how daft it may be.
Like why you have to use SWA for a short jump from a panel to trunking? Why don't they just join the trunking to the panel, or use conduit?

But hey, if they are putting their name to the design they can have whatever they want I guess.

I hope that piccie wasn't taken with your Canon 20D.

10D. yes it was. problem was the poor light level, and the fact that the autofocus could not settle because of the glass on the meter. after a few beers, the manual focussing was just as bad,

edit: bugger. wrong thread. was thinking of the pic of the meter. no. this pic was done with phone. with the phone in poor light, there's a delay between pressing the button and the phone actually taking the shot.

only thing i don't like about the 10D is the small screen size. think the 30D has a bigger screen, there's a great camera shop in chester, 2nd hand SLRs at good prices.

Is it a Full frame Camera

GMES · Jul 22, 2014

Sorry Tel got to go lad's just turned up, I will check in later!!

no, not as in full 35mm, it's smaller. some later canons are full frame but not sure which. ask geordie, he's got a 30D or a 40D.

telectrix · Jul 22, 2014

just thinking... should it be called a sub-main? reason it query this is because a sub-main by definition is fed from a OCPD in a main DB. in this case, the tails are going to be split before the main DB and fed direct from the meter, so really, i will have 2 main boards, a sub is fed with that SWA with the missing gland .LOL.

I have a 30D and it isn't full frame.

The 30D was introduced in 2006 and at that time the only Canon full-frame DSLRs were the 5D Mark II and the 1Ds Mark III.

I had the 350D and it had a small screen at 1.8". The 30D screen is bigger at 2.5"

telectrix · Jul 22, 2014

the 10D is a 1.8" as well. OK if you have good eyes.

GMES · Jul 22, 2014

I was looking at the 5d mark 111, but a bit pricey nearly 3k, that's with a lens or 2,300.00 for body only.

Our lass has a couple of 36D. Lovely to handle and a doddle to use. Easy laid out functions with only 2 buttons to control and brilliant to zoom in on.

telectrix · Jul 22, 2014

that's a proper pro SLR. a bit OTT IMO.

Our lass has the very same although the SD card port is a bit worn and has a nasty crack at the rear.... :smilewinkgrin:

For once .....No comment!

telectrix · Jul 23, 2014

just for you, darkwood. earthing nut and fly lead fitted. tails in, waiting for tomorrow to power down and split incomers. existing board is well out of balance. phase currents varying from 16A upwards. 37A in the N. might try and get then to pay a couple of hours to reconfigure some circuits to balance the board.

GMES · Jul 23, 2014

Now all you need to buy Tel is a Label printer :nono:

telectrix · Jul 23, 2014

got one. those notes are only temporary.

GMES · Jul 23, 2014
