Yellow arctic was what i was going for (although i am expecting silly remarks in person about it being 110V rated (when it is 300/500V rated regardless of colour). Visibility being very important in the unlit campsites. I have considered condensation although the box isnt close to being air...

Thanks ericmark and Ban-all-sheds for the info. I just had a read through of this: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/3.8.6.htm I will ditch the MCBs. I will keep the spur though as it is conveanient as a switch and connection point for the cable. With regards to the size of the box, i wanted...

I didn't think of that, thanks for mentioning it. I will be using it in France at the Le Mans race track camping so that is good to know. I have a plug in polarity checker which i can use to check polarity on site and then reterminate if needed.

Very true. Its my intention to run the 6A breaker, even if it is a 10A supply. The 10A is there as an option to switch to if i keep tripping the 6A which i will be able to see why from the current monitor.

There is no fun in that for me. I love making things that have more features than a purchasable product. I would need to replace the cable, lower the breaker values and cable in a voltage/current monitor to that for me to be happy with it. Also that arrangement they have there doesn't protect...

I do have my own RCD "30ma IP56 13A rated inline RCD" its mentioned on the 4th paragraph as i do not trust the site ones :) Thanks for mentioning the unwinding. I was aware of that.

Third enclosure is for a voltage and current monitor which is yet to arrive. The forth enclosure is a conveanient wiring point for the monitor. Why have two..... i wanted to be able to select the breaking current depending on the campsite limitations (some are 6A and some are 10A) which will...

Hi all, I am going camping a few times this year and will be connecting into the campsite power supplies. As i cannot trust the power in the campsites is safe i have setup this: The setup will be used in a fully covered gazebo and the box has a lockable lid. This box allows me to select 10A...

Is ACPI turned on in the bios? there are some settings you can change to alter power shutdowns etc in there. and does your pc show up as a ACPI uniprocessor/multiprocessor pc in device manager if you click Computer?

are you reinstalling the game after you have installed windows? or are you just copying it over from storage. as some games require registry links to work and if you havent done an install of the game on the new os, the links wont be there.

no problem. i set that settings to all my machines, as i want them to work well, not look pretty while doing it. :P

doh, well noticed.

CAT6 cable is just better quality it doesnt have any more wires than CAT5 and thus the equipment is interchangeable, you can use CAT5/CAT5e faceplates without any reduction in quality. they have some CAT6 ones on the page that the man above me posted...
