It's the Scousers you've gotta watch for, so tight fisted that you won't find your car on bricks, you'll just find it without wheels, courtesy propping be damned ?
says him from warrington. can't make up his mind if he's a Scouser or a manc. :sunglasses: :sunglasses:
 
I am not implying anything about you and sheep or romance or anything like that but your avatar is a sheep and you say you are welsh. Do you have waders by any chance?:D
It's funny that you should mention them, I was looking at them a few minutes ago....
 
What's a closed circuit? a complete circuit it's closed /complete - continuous.

What's a open circuit? it's open it has a opening in it, it's not continuous.

How would you check a circuit was continuous? You check it's continuity - you do a continuity test.

What meter do you use for a continuity test?.......

What's a Short Circuit? Taking a shortcut skipping the load example Line and Neutral coming into contact skipping the load.

What might cause Line and Neutral to come into contact? a break down of insulation

How do check insulation? Insulation Resistance test.

what meter do you use?......

you can actually use either meter to check either fault but thats not 'technically' right and an earth fault is basically just a short circuit but again that's another story hope that helped.

if not meh :)
 
I've actually got a pipe. Bought it off ebay specifically for pointing at things in that 'point at it with a pipe' way.

All you need now is a mantle piece to lean on whilst exchanging fireside stories.
