    A Friend of mine has asked if I know anything about this Company Unicourse to do an online HNC Electrical engineering, it's not his first choice but as He's been made redundant a few weeks ago, this company is offering the Edexcel BTEC HNC at a lower rate than for example Teeside and he can...

    Best tool for cutting(removing) stainless steel cable ties.

    Never tried it but would a hand nibbler do it? They have hardened blades and would probably cut thin stainless ties Also quite a cheap tool

    DC power supply and generator

    Ok so it is feasible that a surge could have left the Psu intact but affected devices it powers I would hope my company will have decent cooperation from B&R as they spend a very large amount of money to them each year Thanks for your input James!

    DC power supply and generator

    Sorry I forgot to say the power supply is still functioning there is 24v present So maybe the question should be can there be issues caused downstream while the Psu is not damaged by an event? Re B&R I had never heard of B&R Plc's before moving to this company ( still relatively new to this...

    DC power supply and generator

    Evening all I'm looking at a machine which has a B&R HMI 24v not working, The usual display is replaced with a page saying a product code needs entering and the touch screen is not responsive, So it looks like we will be replacing it as it's under warranty still. However after talking to...

    Being self employed and the coronavirus
