Israel/Palestine are just as bad as each other in committing atrocity's. But dont bring it to anywhare that thousands have gone and paid for to enjoy them selves.

Try an inline amp reading on just the negitive side & compair with what the panels output should be.

If you deafinatly got 7cm i think i would use 35mm metal boxes bolted together. Chase the wall out with a good 2" all round larger hole. Then on one side screw a peice of about 12X2x1"wood across one side of the hole. Then go to the other side of the hole & put your 2 box that are bolted...

They start the tax on thier milage tax next year, so you wont win, posibly 3p a mile. I have had jags for about the last 15 years & a wile back they wanted over £200 road tax. So i picked up a citrione C1 at £20 tax., plus there is more room by about 20% in the drivers area than the jag & after...

I would mesure them indevidualy 1st & not being conected together & charge the battery with a normal charger for a good 8 hours, then disconect & see what the voltage is. 12.6-12.8 fully chaged, 12.4v 75%, 12.2v needs charging & anything below 12v could be nackered.

What's a standard extension cable?. I have nothing under 1.5mm blue artic cable rated @ 16A 3.3KW. But it could be 0.5mm RATED & 3A 700w. Either one i would want to run to long at there ratings.

Very true & that's partly why the RCBO board would stay in place. Someone should have ago at the Chinese as they have a lot of misleading information on selling their products. IE: Why advertise a 13A adapter that you can plug 20A/4.5kw into. Personally i would only plug 3kw into a UK socket for...

They are rated at 1-63A & you dial in via an app what Amperage you want them to trip at, so i would trust them with an emersion at 13A. But i would only fit them after an already fitted RCBO board with correct fusing. So i assume they could be left set at 63A as the RCBO would be the safety part...

One thing i like on these so called MCB's is every item on the list they do, can be on or off. So if you want to use the meter part & the time switch to lets say control lighting for security, then that's all you use. The rest can be left switched off. You only dial in what you want. & at around...

Was looking at similar ones.

Oddly enough we fitted 13a sockets on the landings of rented flats & all of these had 6A mcb's on them. Just enough for the cleaners hover. Its surprising how many times they got tripped. The cleaner learnt how to reset the fuse in a locked cuboard in the hallway where she kept her cleaning gear.

Just by luck the three bedrooms i rent are on seperate rings & many lodger dont listen. lol. Its in there contract to have no heaters or cooking appliances in the rooms. I took out the 10kw electric shower & 2 pumps & upgraded to a pressurized hot waster set up on off peak. way cheaper than the...

To monitor electric usage. I rent 3 rooms in my place & its nice to keep an eye on whos using watt, "Sorry what" Problem with many of company's that do the software dont seem to realize many country's have off peak tariffs & it would be nice if they could build into their programs "lets say 3...

It make me wonder if these new switches/mcb's are the way to go & fit them in a separate plastic board after the RCBO board & have the advantage of consumption/meter, over/under volt & amps plus a time switch on each circuit, very handy for lighting circuits. I say plastic to help with...

I get the impression they have catered for the American market with the clamps they are using as the boards over there are very much like our old Crabtree boards that had lots of room. They also supply 16 x 40A ct's & 2 x 100A cts as a lot of American home have 220v. Not quite sure how this...
