I'm assuming (hoping!) that the 3ph red conductors out of the MEM are suitably 'slotted'?!

Yes…. Wooden “washer” between trunking and mainswitch. Oval hole. Not individual holes.

No eddies going on here.

Some readers might welcome a little explanation on this learning point.

You mean…what’s the difference between Eddie currents and Eddie The Head?

Eddie Currents and Eddy the Head...

it wasn't the start of a joke.

Eddy current: a localized electric current induced in a conductor by a varying magnetic field.

Eddie the Head: or just “Eddie”. Long serving mascot of band Iron Maiden. First appearing in 1980.



Eddy currants can be produced by passing live conductors through separate holes in a metal sheet. (Ferro magnetic) such as entering an enclosure.





This effect is negated if the conductors all pass through one bigger hole.

I thought I'd be the first one to point out the auto-correct on your otherwise excellent post!

Had breakfast with him once (Bruce Dickinson). Didn't mean to, but he insisted he needed help with what's best described as a mountain of bacon butties that had been brought to him, seemed rude not to. Nice chap and refreshingly clever.

[nicebutdim]

Well I didn't mean to cause offence and thought my reactions to posts originally linking Eddy and Eddie might have made that clear.

Dickinson is a man of considerable talent.

 

[littlespark]

Don’t know who you offended there??


Anyway… can anyone read Roman numerals? I’m getting 1835

In the second holiday cottage which has access to a locked door attic containing a clock on the gable. Used to have electric for a light, but been taken out. (Cut wires etc)
I would think the constantly ticking clock would give the holidaying guests a sleepless time.

 

[DPG]

Very nice find.

1735. You were close but no cigar.

 

[littlespark]

100 years out, close.

I should have asked Tel…. He was around when the Roman numeral system was invented

I would guess he's the only rock singer that's also been a commercial airline pilot.

There may be others, but none that spring to mind. Probably for the best as few rock singers would be suited to riding a bicycle, much less flying planes.

Worthwhile remembering that before days of Simon Cowell, artists used to have to work their way up the ladder of success and stardom whilst supporting themselves however they could. One of my regular artists is a multi-platinum Brit Award holder who was discovered whilst doing pub gigs as a plasterer, Phil Collins was a window cleaner - etc. However, I feel a special place in our hearts will always be the knowledge that Sir David Jason was an electrician.

And Rod Hull was a tv aerial engin……..


Never mind.

Apparently he also trained as a sparky after leaving the RAF.

Of course he found it far more profitable to stuff his arm up the backside of an emu, a sin for which the world cannot forgive him...

Oddly enough I would struggle to name more than a few 'stars' who were granted a pass to stardom.

It's nice to know that many of those who made it big had to go through the sort of sh!t the rest of deal with. Factory work, manual labour and even, in the case of Ozzy, giving up a moderately successful career in crime.
