If we designed a circuit in a domestic property and decided that all of the points would be either BS 546 15A sockets would we design as a ring final or a radial and what would we fuse the circuit at (or MCB size it)
Radial or ring shouldn't matter , preferably radial
There would be little point in a ring, as since neither the socket nor plug fused it would be limited to 15 amps. I suppose you could isolate a part of the ring to work on it, or it could reduce the volt drop, but with domestic that would seem a little pointless.
Don't forget
@ban-all-sheds they were two of a kind. Although BAS was not as bad.
But I know I do it,
just in the same way that a vacuum cleaner was a "hoover"
well in the main not vacuum cleaners either, but air velocity cleaners, they do not form a vacuum, and the whole idea is the speed of the air takes with it the dirt.
But sometimes one wonders if a mistake, or done to allow a way around a rule, calling a distribution board a consumer unit which is a type of DB which is type tested, means if you do something like fit a non-recommended transformer in the box, it is no longer a consumer unit, so any law referring to a CU is no longer valid. Was this done to allow a way around the law, or was it an error?
I know in France they have a plug socket, where the earth is reversed to the lives, I wonder how they differentiate between the two? But the BS 1363 is either a plug or a socket, not both.
With a brass BA22d bulb holder there is nothing to stop you having an earth to the bulb, but never seen this
printed on a bulb, yes we know they should be class II, without the sign, but if permitted to omit it with a bulb, what else comes into the same category? Yes in one way pedantic, but people love to find ways to make what they have done seem correct.
With a transformer when replaced we did stick electronic in front of the name, so the switch mode power supply was called an electronic transformer, but the same did not happen with the fluorescent ballast.
So I want to send a radio message, that I need a head lamp bulb, but I had been ribbed that a bulb goes in the garden, so I ordered a head lamp, which is what I got, minus the bulb.
So the correct word is important, so for a Chevy Blazer I want a push-pull bar, but same part on a Landrover was a track rod. OK we know hood, and trunk, not bonnet and boot, but as I wrote this my spell checker flashed up do I want to change to American English.
As to a boiler being considered faulty if it boils the water, where I work we have a one pipe central heating system, steam is fed in one end, and water drips onto the track the other end, it seems this is not what plumbers call a one pipe system.
Is a pill box a concrete structure
or something to keep pills in?
So we talk about in context, so yes we had
the gas was air, under pressure, and it powered a small turbine, so there were no electric cables in the intrinsically safe area, we called them air lamps, but air is a gas.
And many gas ovens and hobs, had electric to ignite them. But each trade and situation has its own words, cost of a match is not how much a match costs, but how much it costs for a railway engine to make steam without using any of the steam.
And fusebox is the name of a company who make consumer units, just like hoover is the name of a company who makes air velosity cleaners. So if we see a badge saying Hoover, Fusebox, etc, why not call it by that name?
