A mates sent me some piccys of a light he's trying to fix. Its a normal looking transformed 12V light with a toroidal transformer (thats U/S) in it - the weird thing is one of the secondary windings goes off to the lamps, the other secondary attaches straight onto the body of the light fitting...
Hi there,
New to this forum so hopefully someone can help! Working at the moment with 110v angle grinders in an industrial setting. Had a read of the instructions for the grinders we are using and it says;

Just double checking that these are the right crimps for the job,
My new cooker needs to be connected by 6mm eyelet crimp connectors the ones I have found are Cable size: 4-6mm². Imax: 48A, am I correct in thinking that these are rated to 48amps and wound be fine on a 30amp double oven cooker?
Hi,
Anyone here see any problems crimping 16mm lateral mains as a repair as opposed to re-running a complete new cable? I'm talking line, neautral and earth for 12 flats, 60Amp fuse. Junkies keep on nicking all the cable.
Thanks

Thanks!

Would you put this as a code 4?
The cable has no earth but is double insulated and the accessories it runs between has an earth. Or is this actually okay? I can't find anything about this.
Thanks
