    Amtech question bus coupler

    Dependant on what you’re trying to achieve I guess. You can add sections onto switchboards, but if memory serves me you can only have one supply on at a time. HTH

    Help needed with hob fault

    Yeah, they are going to buy a new one anyway, but I don’t like leaving without finding the cause. No damage anywhere other than under the sticker - I have a video of my nephew pouring a little water on it - and it boiled?
