You could start with https://www.google.com/search?q=landlord+sued+by+tenant&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Perhaps look at https://www.landlordzone.co.uk/news/landlord-liable-injuries-tenant. While not exactly the same, it indicates that a landlord can be held liable if they fail to keep the...

A few vehicles have had low-level air intakes - I believe to try and get cooler air from lower down ? Of course, perfectly suited to the UK where it never rains and roads never have standing water :rolleyes:

They will if you can keep the water out of where it shouldn't be. Oh yes, missed an item from the previous list - fuel tank breather, you don't want water in your fuel either. For example, on an old Escort I used to run (proper one, not those horrible front wheel drive things they stuck the...

My approach to legal compliance is along the lines of ... Some people will look for any opportunity to "make a quick buck" - and as a landlord, having anything not up to current standards gives the unscrupulous something to try and use to my cost and their gain. So for example I had RCDs on...

Or use a Q-Max (or similar) cutter. Good, but expensive if you aren't using them a lot.

Certainly seems like very inconsiderate driving - and rather risky. Not familiar with that model, but the air intakes in some are not actually all that high up, and diesels are not forgiving of water in the cylinders. Oh, and did I mention all the electronics - and the other items that can...

Personally I think the blame lies with the architects, who in turn are driven by the developers to design ever smaller shoe boxeshouses. So where can they save space - well combi boilers are good for them by eliminating the cylinder cupboard*, and of course they'll fit the smallest radiators...

A salesperson disparaging the competition's product to get a quick sale - colour me surprised !

30kW would heat a house that was either very big or very poorly insulated. These days where combi boilers are the norm, the 30kW boiler is the minimum to get anything vaguely resembling hot water, and it's grossly oversized for the heating. Must admit, that's been in my mind - already have a...

I deal with and use tech all the time. I am not against smart meters in general, but against the ****ing stupid designs and systems we're getting lumbered with, and the attitude of those pushing them. The smart way to deal with information security is to collect and store as little of it as...

Now, if you have a non-smart meter it's very unlikely you could be cut off or have the meter changed without knowing. People coming to the house is a big clue. And if they do, and it's an illegally obtained warrant because a supplier lied to the court and supplied false details (or they are just...

As you say, an extreme situation - and in practice won't happen. In part, that's why I suggested a large number of loads. Most large domestic loads are a) controlled and b) not in any way synchronised. So while the network load will not be constant, I expect it'll follow a fairly narrow spread...

Sounds similar. The 898HD had a special tool : Step 1, untwist wires, put through the 8 holes in the tool, wiggle a bit to remove the waviness and set them to the right soacing, trim to length. Step 2, slot the wires into the slots in the connector block, fold down the flap, use the parrallel...

FWIW for many years my preferred socket was the ITT Canon HD808 style. Crimped on in much the same way as an "RJ45" plug - and as Sunray says above, could be done qucker than it took to fasten the cable, unwind the pairs to the right places, and punch down 8 cores individually. Had the added...

Firstly, I'd second having a good think now about where you MIGHT want an outlet in the future. It's rather annoying to find you have them everywhere but where you currently need one. OK, don't go overboard as I used to recommend when fitting out offices - several times I've looked at a plan...

OK What is the power with 200V into a 50Ω load ? It's going to be 4A * 200V = 800W, or 4² * 50, or 16 * 50, = 800W. Only if you miss the fact that 2off 100Ω in parallel is 50Ω :unsure: But, we were discussing losses in the network. Let's assume we have a loop impedance of 0.1Ω, and 100off...

Consider something more sensible. Lets say 1000 loads, all running at say 10% duty cycle. So assuming independent loads, at any time there will be around 100 loads on - give or take a few. Double the voltage, doubke the current for each load while it is on. But at 4 times the power, the duty...

I think your just looking too close - take a step back. Let's assume all loads are controlled for a moment, and consider "lots" of end users (i.e. consuder a big chunk of network). And again consuder an impractical doubling of voltage. Yes, individual loads will draw double the current when on -...

OK, with non-controlled linear loads, as voltage goes up, so does power delivered, and DNO losses. Losses as percentage of energy supplied will be roughly unchanged. If you consider controlled loads - think ovens, immersion heaters, room heaters, ... ON AVERAGE, as voltage increases, current...

As you say, a significant proportion of loads will be controlled - and a prevalence of switch mode supplies, including high power inverter drives, where the load current decreases with increasing voltage. I suspect we're still a long way off the latter cancelling the former. But however you look...
