Got asked today by someone one site regarding a friend who has come over from America and wanted to know if he could use his appliances /equipment in a 110v site transformer110v 55v to earth.Couldn't give him an exact answer as unsure , can anyone give me an answer.
Hi, I'm a novice looking for advice.
I need to replace the fluorescent tube and starter on my American pinball machine.
The current tube and starter operate at 110v
The tube is a F18T 8CW which seems to be available in UK so I've ordered one of those.
The existing starter is a UL brand with...
I need a couple of 3phase site transformers for a job which will last 6 months.
Hiring or buying new will be too expensive, so I'm after getting a couple of second hand ones.
I can collect within a 60miles of Leeds or 30 miles of Dublin.
Spec.
8 to 10kva continuous.
3phase input, 110v output...
I've recently qualified and want to get myself set up with some new tools. I don't really fancy having some tools 110v and some 230v, if I can get away with it I'd prefer to have all 110v. However, I realise this isn't practical for domestic work as the transformer will probably take out the CB...
Probably silly question of the week, but why do trades folk tend to use 110v power tools running off those boxy have transformer thingys rather than the standard 230v? Is it down to safety, i.e. lower voltage or economy or something else? Note the technical lingo!
As a newbie / trainee please...
bought a 1KVA tranny from car boot @ weekend. bargain @ £8. reason was to have a lightweight one on the van instaed of lugging my 3.3KVA unit about. anyway, gets it home, plugs it in.. no output. so, top off to find that some donut had fitted in-line fuses to bot L and N into the primary. one of...
got given a 230V-110V site transformer today. probably reasonably old and been sitting in a garage for a while. so thought it'd be an idea to run some tests on it before chucking it into service?
i'm thinking that after an inspection for condition and obvious damage (even inside the case), i...
£35 for a refurbed Nilfisk Aero 26 110v wet & dry vac with autostart & 6 month warranty. (delivery around £7). Just ordered 1 and they had 2 left in stock. Thought this might be of use to somebody.

Hi guys, fairly new to industry and even newer to temporary lighting.
We are putting up 5 normal and 3 emergency lights. The lights are being switched via a sensor.
The normal fittings have 3 cores and the emergencies gave 4. The cable from sensor also has 4 cores. How should I connect the...
Hi Guys,
Not long in the game and even newer to temporary lighting.
Normal and emergency lights are up. The emergencies have a 4 core (black core for battery). However some of the normals also have 4 cores (not sure why).
Anyway we are using a 4 core cable to feed these lights as they are...
I have 400v 2 phase to 110v CTE 10kvA transformer. It is going to supply 110v sockets in a workshop which will be used for general power tools.
I have been told by a colleague that the primary earth should be kept separate from the secondary earth when wiring the new sockets we are fitting as...
Hi All
I am designing a 110v system for a local workshop. They have speced 20 outlets not all to used at one time. Id think realistacally 40% would be the max.
My question is i have been speked at 15KVA tran with 2 80amp outlets and they say to daisychain 10 sockets from each outlet. They cant...
Hi,
Got a client that's bought an old Timex rotating display stand to display his extensive sunglasses collection :beatnik2:.
It has a 110v motor to rotate it and there is a T9 circular flourescent tube fitted. (4 pin plug)
The ballast has failed and needs to be replaced.
Client wants to keep...
I carry out PATs of all types of electrical equipment. I was recently asked as to whether I would fail a 110v extension lead ,splitter box or transformer because the spring cover on the socket outlet was eirher missing or broken. when investigating it seems to be a bit of a grey area with...
Using a single phase db, how do you install double pole mcbs into this to use as a 110v db? Does the busbar need altering? As how do you get the neutral side onto them?
My test meter only works on 230v....
So... Is there a way of working out the Earth fault loop impedance on a 110v supply that is supplied by a hardwired 110v Centre tapped to earth transformer?
Anyone else come across this.
I have some additional 110v sockets to fit in a workshop but need to...
Hi Gang,
