Hi there,
First post so please be patient. I was called to our local vets as there X-ray machine would trip the RCD at the consumer Unit when they went to switch it on but when they re-set it it works fine as it only does this the once. I can not find any faults with the fixed installation and...
I would like to know whether I can run a 1/2hp (~380W) washing machine motor on a 600W (1200W peak power) pure sine wave inverter.

Hi
I`m looking for some info on 3 phase.
I have inquired about a polishing machine from Italy that is 380v
I have no knowledge of electrical issues.
My Question is can the power supply on the machine be converted to 110v for site work purposes?
Any advice would be grateful
Was asked to attend a car paint/ repair garage yesterday and was presented with this. It had a 3 core 2.5 flex connected to it on a 13a plug top, however, i noticed that the info suggests that this is a 400v 2 phase machine. I am slightly confused as to how this has been working using a 230v...
I've previously asked this in the Course feedback section of the forum, but due to a lack of response I thought I'd appeal to the masses!
I've been looking at various "hands on courses " for Industrial ie controls , as upto now I've not had much contact with this type of work, I've done plenty...
I have a problem with my Indesit WIXL 143 - 4 years old.
After a wash, clothes are still saturated with water. The machine doesn't transfer to a fast spin. On any program, all lights are flashing.
Checked the pump, outlet hose and filter etc. - all clear, no blockage.
Thanks in advance.

I went round and it seemed like an obvious problem, the quite old 45A isolator had had a meltdown and fallen apart inside -...

Hi,
I have been tasked with rewiring most of the machines in a factory.
Due to the age of the equipment and usage I believe residual current protection is a good idea.
This presents an issue with how they want them wired.
Currently we have cables hanging from the ceiling at multiple points of...
