Yeah I know mate! I remember a time when people took pride in the work they sub-contracted to Chinese sweatshops but they don’t make specialised tools like this anymore. That’s why I had to make it myself. Just got to find something to use it on now.:)
My apologies, poor wording on my part. In the opening post the OP stated that most of his circuits were over the max zs threshold on the type 4 breakers. I also don’t know why they are still for sale. Maybe they solved the problem with the breakers but the damage to their reputation was still done.
They already don’t meet the maximum earth loop impedance allowed and under the 18th Edition will do so even less. He could also just note the safety implications in the recommendation section of the E.I.C.R. and let the client make up their own mind. It’s all about risk management. I personally...
It’s worth bearing in mind that Federal Electric went under because they fraudulently falsified test results of their MCB’s. There never was a product recall because it was deemed too expensive and it was cheaper to settle any claims through the courts. So it might be prudent to get rid of the...
I used to be addicted to time travel, but that’s all in the past now. Now I just listen to Queen to lighten the mood.
What has always baffled me for yonks is when you spin your head round like a disk at light speed, it moves in a rotational motion. The faster it spins, the faster it moves...
As it happens, I’ve been trawling through the archives to find some information about MRI scanners for Pete999’s Chernobyl thread but to no avail. I did however come across a study that found that no woman has ever shot her husband while he was doing the dishes. I wonder how many partials they...
With no machete of reason could I hack a trail for wanting to run into myself. I’ve misused the starships time dilation device loads of times to sneak another weekend in or have another pint at lunch time, but never have I run around the block to kick myself up the ar$e.:)
I haven’t got a Scooby Doo. A scientist friend once upon a time told me that and I’ve never had a reason to doubt her. I’m more than happy to reclassify my comment from “True” to “Probably True” until I’ve had a chance to check out that statement. I still see her from time to time, so if I...
Well that counts the Cayman Islands out then. I have an aversion to Yanks. Soon or later they turn everything into a slum. They are the undisputed champion in the tournament of ar$eh0les.:)
For anybody that is remotely interested!:D
Since the 1st atomic test at Alamogordo in New Mexico, there have been more than 2000 other tests. There have been over 200 small to large accidents at nuclear facilities since we have started tinkering with the atom. Currently there are more than 400...
1: Been a member of the forum since 2010. It's a bit like being unable to stop getting mugged by a granny with a zimmer-frame and a blunt spoon. I think it’s reading about the electrical adventures of the armatures that keeps me coming back. It’s like a joyride in a clown car powered by sh!t...
She always makes me hum to this tune…lol
She was a fast machine, she kept her storage trays clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sexiest eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those cable ties
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to...
Enzo Ferrari once called the E-Type Jag the most beautiful car ever made. A mouse powered Ferrari is an interesting proposition. I wonder how many miles you would get out of a mouse? However, what’s more interesting is how many times did Harry and Meghan have to get out of the house, get into...
