Hello Everyone --
So, I am looking to buy a used 5HP 3PH 208 V 10 inch Table saw --- (Motor Plate Data in Image) I am a DIY'er and in this case I would not attempt to do a 3PH to Single Phase conversion myself -- (I have looked at many videos and read several articles about how to do...
I have a ring cct (2.5mm ) in my cabin which is protected by a 20amp RCBO. This has been in existence for over 3 years with no issues. I recently bought a table saw and when turned on, on its own all is OK. However the other day I had a heater and a dust extractor on, then turned on the table...
Hi everyone. I am really puzzled by this, but I suppose there is an obvious answer / reason!
Anyway, Table I1 in the OSG says the mΩ/m value for copper with a CSA of 25mm2 is 0.727. However, when I calculate the R value using the formula: I get 0.688... Does anyone know why the values aren't...
I would like to install a plug as the original one has been cut off. It has a black sleeved wire but also a non sleeved cable with no indication whether it is a live.
Can you please advise which type of plug I need for this?
Many thanks
Hi Experts, I was given a Ryobi 240v Table Saw which I think came from South Africa. The motor was disconnected when I checked but I would just like to connect up the motor to see if it works. There are four wires to the motor, two black, one grey and one blue. I don't want to blow it up...
Hi everyone,
I’ve always thought a copy of the circuit details and test results of an EIC would comply with regulation 514.9.1. However looking closer at the reg it asks for type of wiring, number of conductors and the method used for compliance with 410.3.2 (ADS, double/reinforced insulation)...
In show world we use 19c 'socapex' cable as a staple, standard cable for connecting lighting dimmers to lights via 19 pin screwed connectors and we never think about it, ever.
I've just had cause on a design to work out some grouping factors and I'm momentarily stumped. A phone call with Eland...
Hi
First time with this kind of a job for me.
I have a scenario where i am planning to install about 50m 25mm TPN from a TNCS supply to supply a small metal container housing TPN pump control gear to control two TP 24KW .8 PF pumps (to be fair one is a 15kw, but allowance to swap out one for a...
Hello people. My old man has a table saw and water has got in the switch, he decided to remove it ready for me to replace and due to poor memory can't remember how it was wired up.
I've not had much experience with motors etc but from what I can work out it's wired as follows:
I haven't...
Hi All
Need help wiring a 220v Table saw switch.
I've tried all different configurations, some combos it comes on but got to hold the button in.
I've attached a few photos of the switch and wires. The blk and wht wires on the left come from the power cord and the two on the right come from the...
Hi All,
I'm designing my own table lamp but having issues with the wiring. The lamp consists of an E17 socket, a two position toggle and a two prong whip (see diagram). I've mocked up the wiring as noted in the diagram but it trips the surge protector and I'm trying to understand where I've...
Hi,
Looking to purchase a Trumpf laser table that uses 90 amps and wanting to run from a 150KW diesel generator. Can this be done and if so, what would be required for a UPS? Thank you
Hi
I am being thick i am sure. I am doing some pre work on an EV charging course i am doing in November. I got to a part mentioning volt drop and ref in the regs book. Not looked at this for a while, so i thought i better check it out. Table states figures for Public Supply and figures...
I have recently restored an ancient anglepoise lamp which is not a product as far as I can tell from the well known anglepoise lamp company.
it is fitted with 2 core wiring which is in good condition. As the lamp is in good condition and the only item which I have replaced is a switched brass...
Something I'm not quite getting.
In table 7.1(i) of onsite guide the max circuit length of (for example) a lighting circuit on 6 amps, with rcbo and wired in 1.5mm is 106 meters.
Where does this 106 meters come from because if max volt drop allowed is only 3% for lighting, 106m works out to 8%...
Hi, I recently bought 2 lamps from eBay, when they arrived they had European plugs, when rewiring the plugs to UK plugs I noticed the wiring is only 2 gauge and has no earth. This concerns me as the casing for the lamp is made from eBay appears to be metal/ brass! Also there is a what looks to...
