    Microwave warm to the touch when not in use

    Bit of a boring question here but nonetheless it is a concern of mine at the moment. We have a Sharp 800w microwave that is quite new. It gets very little use and today I noticed that despite it not being used, the top it quite warm to the touch. Can anyone provide some insight or advice?

    PATting touch lights

    One of my jobs is to PAT electrical goods for a local charity. Recently we have been given some touch lights. On all of these, the switch interrupts Neutral only and Live is on all the time. Is this normal or should I condemn these lights? Thank you, Mark

    Calculating broken PEN touch voltage with backup earth electrode

    My brain has been exercised a bit by this. Am I on the right lines with this extremely simplified example: If we take: -TNCS installation with a Ze of 0.2 ohms. -Plastic services, nothing bonded, keeping it simple -Line conductor resistance from supply transformer should be similar to PEFC and...

    Get a shock when you touch sink and oven at same time??

    I understand this could be because there is no bonding, but just want to know how it’s possible for the pipework/sink to become live?? Is it through a fault on another circuit finding it’s way to the pipework?

    Brother P Touch E550W

    Bought this a few days ago and I've got to say I've nearly put a hammer through it in frustration already. The templates seem to be poor for consumer units. Not many options for high integrity and that sort of thing. I've created a template on P Touch Editor on Mac OSX but can't find anyway to...

    92 volt touch potential

    I'm really confused by this engineering article. How can the maximum touch voltage be 92 volts on a 230 volt system when in theory it ought to be 115 volts or higher? https://www.gt-engineering.it/en/en-iec-standards/iec-60364-4-41/tn-systems Huh?

    Class 2 product?

    If you have say a metal based lamp and it’s still a class 2 product. What would happen if the exterior somehow became live. There’s obviously no path to earth?
