That doesn't look a very big cable for the supply to a property. Could it be a 3 phase supply, in which case they'd be a bit more of a suitable size? There's no neutral, but maybe combined neutral and earth are allowed for supplies in Slovenia?
Joining the ends of the radials together to form a ring, and changing the circuit protection to a single 32A would solve the MCB overload problem, but it would still be a badly designed ring, with a good chance of overloading one leg.
Radial or ring, the design sparks still needs to know what...
Well, he's laid to rest now, right where I promised him, wrapped in a duvet and lying in his bed.
This is the third dog I've buried in less than a year. Daughter's husband cleared off three years ago, leaving her with two young children and two ancient dogs, both of which have passed away in the...
Don't forget that these things are both detector and sounder. Needs to be one not far from the outside of the bedrooms, even if it's never going to detect a thing.
Well, stubborn to the end, like he's always been, Max held out until about 7.30am this morning. I sat with him for an hour between 4 and 5am, my wife did the same from 6 to 7, and he was gone when we surfaced at 8.
He's lying here in front of me, head held high, eyes wide open, legs straight...
First point is that your pull switch is not intended to turn the shower on and off. It is an isolator switch to enable maintenance to be carried out safely on the shower, and at all other times should be left on.
Presumably, your electrician is referring to lack of protection by an RCD, and this...
Do you have a test meter of any kind?
if so, disconnect all four wires that go into the motor and check for a low resistance between them. You should find a low resistance between two of them, a low resistance between the other pair and infinite resistance between the two pairs.
Reconnect the...
Sitting here writing this with tears in my eyes.
My poor dog, Max, is just short of 17 years old, and has become more and more wobbly on his legs, but has always managed to struggle to his feet and get around, following my wife everywhere she goes that he can . That was until last Monday...
Link is to a 2W 20A switch, that selects between two immersion heater elements.
The green/yellow used for the link looks a little undersized, so might warm things a little, and it looks like the back box might be a bit short of room, but other than that there's nothing wrong that stands out.
My wife's cat escaped from it's cage outside the vet's a few years ago and scarpered. Spent the evenings for the next two weeks wandering around the town with a packet of cat biscuits, shouting "Tommy" like some demented loony, and getting to know every cat in the area.
Daughter posted on...
HAVE to work, as in no option, and put in 20+ hours over the two days. Rest of the week I have no problem findings things to do, but at times and dates to suit me, and if I want to take an afternoon off, I can.
Presumably it's to do with the flexibility of the cables. Solid core cables should always be installed so that they're not subjected to frequent bending, as the cores will "work harden" and eventually fracture.
Applies to all cables, not just data cables.
If there's no main switch on the CU, then the RCD is doubling up as the main switch and everything is protected by it. If there is a main switch and MCBs between it and the RCD, then one or more circuits served by the MCBs at the main switch end of the row probably aren't protected.
Written in clauses are essential, but should be fairly standard fare to a solicitor.
A similar situation exists around where I live with regard to water service pipes, some of which can be over a mile long. My own service pipe runs under my land and that of another farmer. My neighbour's pipe...
The only things likely to be damaged by a sudden loss of power are machines that rely on a cooling pump running on after the heat source has shut down. This will result in local overheating in the machine.
As said above, when the power comes back on, if a lot of machines all get powered up...
