    #1 of 5...and it's music this time...and for the rest of this week!

    Electricains like power! Electricians like the JUICE! Here's "juice" for you... and though not all the lyrics are totally appropriate, let's take the chorus and remember... RIP, Christina x View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTzGMEfbnAw

    Pirate's Rant#4 no. 2 of 1 a day

    Not sure whether to post here or in the Dan's Collection thread. Anyway, it's not electrical, it's a rant about parking! Why is it, when I go to a car park and select a quiet spot where I can park in the middle bay of 3 or 5 empty bays, folks come along and park right next to me when there's...

    Pirate's Rant #3 1 of my 5 a week

    That brings me to bathroom fitters... 2 new bathrooms, 1 main, 1 en-suite, and this time in my own house, or rather a flat I was getting ready to rent out. Why do so many trades use plasterboard screws for everything? Certainly didn't secure the shower svreen to the wall in the main bathroom...

    Littlespark Thread A Day (1) “tis the season”

    Ok… not quite “… to be jolly” but it’s that time of year that many wholesalers run an annual Trade Day. Usually some games, a raffle and some discounts…. And maybe free breakfast. CEF last week. (Hotdogs, if you’re wondering) Didn’t get much except for a new set of WERA drivers. I tend to...

    FLUKE 1663 Tester problem

    I've got a FLUKE 1663 MFT with a small problem. When testing RCDs, they trip at 0mA and 0ms, regardless of which test is selected. Is there anyway to prove that it is the meter that is faulty and what are my options with this?
