    Confused - Telaris 0100 plus

    I've just picked one of these up on a famous auction site. The voltages, low and high resistance ranges all appear to be working fine but it's not calibrated. I know it's getting on a bit (16th Edition!), but it's fine for learning with at the price I paid for it. My confusion is in which test...

    New oven installation... confused about amps/wiring

    Hi all, I replaced my old Electrolux oven which operated with a 13 amp plug. The new Kenwood oven I ordered says a 16 amp (Requires hardwiring to a dedicated circuit) is required (see pictures below). Is it not possible if I just buy a 13 amp plug and do the wiring in the terminal box at the...

Let me explain: I am a US Navy Veteran. I was an aviation electronics technician. The thing is my stint lasted one year due...

    One Confused Builder. Maybe a fun one for trainees....

    A builder friend calls me up to have a look at a "strange situation". He points at a joint box above and outside a back door. "Old outside light?" I ask. He's extended this into a new conservatory. "That's probably switched" I guess. "No I found a permanent live" he said. He's run it into a...

    Confused about the wiring diagram on INKBIRD 1000F 12V

    How to connect a ptc heater to a controller, so... the controller actually turns the heater ON and OFF when it reaches the desired temperature? I need to keep stable 30 deg temp, but there is no relay switch on the heater (I think that's how it is called), so if the heater is connected directly...

One...

    Confused about Zs 5 second disconnection time

    Running some calcs I'm confused about what Zs to use when calculating 5 second disconnection times. In circuits with 1.5mm2-4mm2 cable a fault doesn't seem to pull the voltage down much at the trafo terminals so from an ohms law perspective the current magnitude reflects simple V/(R1 + R2)=I...
