Eddy Currents

Crosswire · Oct 16, 2013

I vaguely remember an illustration in one of my books showing 3 phases of a supply entering metal trunking seperately, and the words ' THIS ARRANGEMENT IS NOT PERMITTED' emblazoned beneath it.

However I have been going through all my books and cannot find it.....

Anyone know what I'm on about?

Yes.very good.:yesnod:

Let me re-phrase myself...

Does anyone one know of a reference in published literature (E.G. the Regs.:book

because I think I have come across this situation at work, and don't want to go in half-cocked.

Thank you:smiley2:

Eddy Currents was lead singer in the band Tesla's Coils. They were a bit one hit wonders, with only their single 'Back to EMF' finding its way into the charts. Eventually the band split, and the drummer and bassist went on to form the duo Inductance Moves, which failed to motor as the critics claimed it lacked the necessary spin. Eddy went on to enjoy brief success with his solo album 'Don't stand so close to me (have we met before?)' before retiring to become a plate spinner.
