    Why did test lamps show 0V between live side and dead side?

    I removed a fuse and before reinserting did the following tests using test lamps. Live side - Neutral = 230V, Dead side - Neutral = 0V, Live side - Dead side = 0V. I then used a multimeter to check these results as I was expecting a potential difference of 230V between Supply side and dead side...

    Xbox consoles. What’s the difference?

    Not used this part of the forum much. My girls have got for Christmas, or the middle ones birthday in January, every Just Dance game since they came out. We used to get them on the Wii, then the Xbox one. This year however, it’s only available on Xbox series X or series S, not the Xbox one...

    UK Sorel Temperature Difference Controller overheating

    We've had a simple solar hot water system for about 6 months now and it was working fine in that time but just recently it's not turning the pump on when it's reaching the cut-in temperature. Also, placing your hand on the top-right of the unit you can feel that some component in there is...

    difference between semi flush and flush service panels?

    I am upgrading an old 100A semi flush outdoor overhead panel to 200A solar ready, panel. Was looking at Square D SC2040M200PF, but this appears to be designed for bottom feed- with option for top feed. Does not appear ideal, and my installer says might be a real PITA. I am not seeing many...

    Difference between FSU and 3 pin plug, both with 5 amp fuse for LED downlights?

    Is there an obvious reason why I can't just fit a plug onto my LED soffit downlights, fitted with a 5amp fuse and plug it into a socket rather than install a 5amp fsu? I'm fine with the plug being permanently plugged in as the socket gets no use anyhow. TIA

    Does 1 Amp make that big of a difference in glass fuses?

    Hello, I have a Chinese 90w laser engraver, and recently the power supply went out. While operating, I heard a pop, and when I disassembled, I found one of the transistors had shorted with a black mark. I have since replaced this power supply, and replaced the fuse that is located in the...

    Difference between Hager RCB's

    What is the difference between a Hager MT132 and MTN132 circuit breaker? (apart from the fact that one has an 'N' on it and the other doesn't). I need to fit (or get fitted if I can ever get a lecky) an MT132. Thanks Brian

    Electrician's mate vs improver vs electrician - what's the difference?

    I see mates jobs asking for quals and duties to include pulling cables, termination, chasing, patching, snagging, fixing issues, basically everything except testing and inspection. So what is a mate really and how is it different from a bonafide electrician? Is it just the qualifications...

    Difference in scrap price between pvc insulated twin & stripped cable.

    I’ve got a hell of a lot of scrap cable in my garage. I know it would take a long time but is it financially beneficial to strip the cable or does it not make much difference?

    Difference in a resistive and non-resistive spark plug?

    So I'm home servicing one of my Stihl machines (2 stroke brushcutter) and my local dealer apologised that technically it should take an R (resistive) type plug but they're hard to get at the moment and a non would work fine - what's the difference?? NGK BPM6A -v- BPM6(R)A

    Difference in spec for these D3V microswitches?

    Hi. Just replaced the second door microswitch in my Sharp R959 combi/microwave oven - there's three there in total; the first went a couple of years back, and the third is still ok. That's not a problem - it's been great machine for many years, and has only ever required a new TT motor, oven...

    Insulation resistance difference both ends of ring final cct

    Initial fault was RCD tripping, narrowed down to a ring final cct. IR tests on that cct with all loads removed were showing almost zero between neutral and cpc. So I broke the ring apart and eventually found the nail through a cable, and got that all sorted. Now its testing ok in as much as...

    Can a difference in phase voltages cause a motor to fail?

    Here is the background: A new Grundfos 3 phase sump pump was installed in a bore hole to pump groundwater to a holding tank. After 6 weeks the motor failed, the installer measured the voltage of the 3 phases which at the time were P1-237v P2-250v P3-233v and suggested this was the likely cause...

    Are LED bulbs better than CLF bulbs?

    Recently, I have decided to switch to LED lighting instead of any other old school lighting. Our government has taken the initiative of replacing old lights with energy-efficient LED bulbs. But there is still a debate about which lighting option is better, is it LED or CLF. Give me your...
