Hey guys. Looking at comissioning a SMA SB10000TL and thinking about using 2.5mm 5 core SY multi Flex. Is this ok? Some places say it shouldn't be connected directly to mains supply but others say it's ok? Or what would others do/suggest?
Thanks

Thanks in...

Someone told me on my 2391 that when testing a lcm that all lights that are plugged in are classed as portable equipment. Is that true and is it ok to take r1+r2 and zs at the lcm

Is this OK to use? I've never come across it on 2.5mm cable and they have nuisance tripping on this...

Went to a woodwork show today and again thought about buying one of these tools? i have yet to hear a bad word about them. Bosch now do a convertor so you can use their cheaper blades etc (all made in same factory !)
