I have tested the continuity between the input and output of the transformers. There is none! The input is obviously 240 volts and it says 120 volts next to the pins on the board so these transformers are presumably converting down to 120 volts, not sure why there is 2 of them or why there is no...

well the wires from one had been cut and you can see where i have reconected it with chock blox (blue circle). I have no idea why it had been disconnected but perhaps if the amp was running using just one transformer then that would have blown the remaining one? i dunno im just guessing here.

thanks toasty. all the fuses are ok. i have tested with a multimeter. voltage is getting to the switch and on to the transformers however there is no voltage boyond the transformers i.e. where they connect to the pins on the board (see photo) and the power led (fed from the board) is not...

Not a standard UK household electrics question so forgive me if this doesn't interest you. Someone out there may have some experience with this sort of thing. I have an amp as photod below, that doesn't work. I suspect that the problem lies with the 2 units at the front (circled in red) I just...

yeah its for hanging a curtain on. If i make it out of chromed tubing i was going to hang it from the ceiling with a cuple of chrome pipe clips, the ones that hold the pipe an inch or 2 from the wall, like you see used for urinals etc. However if i am going to have to make it from 2 semi...

ok thanks guys. i have a pipe spring so i think ill give that a try, using an mdf former. Ill let you know the outcome regarding the chrome flaking off. cheers

ok thanks for the advise i think i will have to forget this idea. Im glad i didn't buy a pipe bender! Thanks for the link Andy although that one is too large and also a bit too pricey. I have found someone in wembly who can make me one from a stainless steel bar for about 50 quid so i think i...

sorry that this isn't strictly a plumbing question however it does involve plumbing tools so you guys would be the best people to help me. I want to make a circular shower hoop with a 70cm diamater from 15 mm chromed copper tube. I thought i could buy some pipe benders and bend the pipe into...

ok thanks again for all your help ban-all-sheds! ill use the existing cooker plate as a junction box for my 2 spurs and ill get a couple of yellow crimps and hopefully borrow some ratchet crimpers as they aint cheap.

i was curious about that too. Im glad I know now. Just out of interest what kind of situation would warrant a double pole switch?

thanks again Ban-all-sheds. Ok so ill use 6 / 10mm cable for my extractor spur, and replace the socket spur cable while i'm at it. I could spur off the ring as you suggest but it would mean more chopping out of plaster and also it would be nice to have the extractor on the 45 amp cooker...

this was a duplicate post. just deleted.

Thanks for your answers folks thats already a big help, I have a couple of further points to clarify though: ok so the socket spured off the CCU is via 2.5mm cable - is this not ok given that there is a socket on the end? just like a normal spur? or a spur to an FCU? if i cant bury a JB in...

Hello any advice / thoughts would be appreciated: I have a 45a cooker switch with socket on the wall behind the cooker but I want to either move it or do away with it completely. I now have a gas hob and oven on a 13amp plug witch are both plugged into a socket spurred off a Cooker Connection...

ok thanks dingbat i'll investigte some fittings that take those cooler running bulbs. I need to avoid having to fork out for smoke hoods as they will make it too expensive. However above the kitchen is just the loft space so I dont think fire proofing will be too much of an issue. Do you think...

Hi hope you can help, i have looked around the board but can't find an answer to this query (forgive me if it has been answered somewhere) I am about to put a suspended plasterboard ceiling below the existing one as it is sloping badly. I would like to add about 6 downlighters instead of the...

thanks folks. I catually found the original hand rail and newell post underneath the plasterboard stud wall. The handrail and floor both had housings for the spindles so i simply cut them to size and glued them in place. So not only do the banisters match the ones on the other side, I can...

Hi, I have just bought all the parts neccessary to make a horisontal banister rail on the landing. Newell post, banister rail and balusters/spindles. I was curious what the normal method is for attaching the spindles to both the floor and to the banister rail, i cant imagine glue would be...
