    Nominal Voltage

    Why has nominal voltage gone from 250Volts back in the good old days, to 240Volts, several years ago, to 230Volts more recently? What is the legal max and min tolerance in the 230Volt level?

    Fake Britain

    The above program on BBC1 Wed this week reported a consignment of 800 copies of the Big Green Book and the Electrician's Site Guide which are counterfeits and being sold cheaper than the normal price. Both have errors within them. Watch out!:rifle:

    TV Co-Axial Cable and F-type Connectors

    I bought a coil of TV Co-Axial Cable from B&Q, together with F-type connectors for a TV aerial extension.

    EICR - Follow up
