TNS, Ze 4.35. Hmmmm. If in doubt don't. Measure it twice, cut it once. If in doubt, do it again. 0.68 that's better. Bad connection, my fault. But who else not in the know would have questioned it.

Customer claimed he was getting shocks from the metal faced...
I work in a lumber sawmill/planer and we have a couple areas where operators are complaining about static shocks.
At the outfeed of the planer, the planermen stop an outfeed belt and run one piece through onto the stopped belt, where they grab the board and place it on top of the metal...

hi guys,
was in an office on the weekend, being a new firm we only have poxy metal step ladders. While we were changing fluorescent lamps i got a few static shocks off the metal of the light fittings. The whole fitting was earthed, so i was thinking why this was happening, is this common? I'm...
we have a caravan and the outside supply comes in through at 16amp, but inside in the CU we have 2 light circuts 6amp each and 1 ring final 32amp is this right?

any advice would be helpful...
