    Possibly the most bizarre question I’ll ever post……

    ….. but does anyone have any kind of idea what a safe touch voltage would be for a cat?! I’ve just thrown some led fairy lights around our cat tree (you know, just because….) and had assumed that they’d be 12v or lower but glancing at the psu as I plugged it in and it’s a secondary of 31v (3w)...

    I have an RCBO question ????

    I see in the UK that RCBO's are more becoming a standard installation now. I might be missing something obvious here but I've been wondering why are the commonly used RCBO's rated to 30mA leakage current when they're only protecting a single final circuit. Surely 30mA leakage on a normal...

    EICR ring circuit question

    Doing an EICR and was looking for some advice, testing the socket circuit, it’s a ring circuit. 3 sockets in the living room area, opened 2 up and they both had one cable at it (great).

    Mikita DC18RC Charger, 3.0Ah 18v Battery question?

    I am very confused by this charger. The yellow LED in on, Battery Conditioning. What does that mean? Battery is fully charged, I think after 30 minutes. The yellow LED is still on. Makita needs to provide better documentation. Their lead blower runs out of juice on high after about 15...
