Thanks Woody.

I need to higher my front Door step, as the wife is slightly disabled and cant cope with the step down, the present step at the moment is only about a inch lower than the damp course, therefor the new step will bridge the damp course. Is this a problem ? the front door is inside a porch and...

Thanks Bernard, I get the principle now, I did wonder how they got the thing that small. I have only previously seen an enormous industrial types, that I assume was just a Autotransformer. And what a tale of woe that caused.

That's my opinion as well.

Incidentally, has any one seen their sales pitch you tube Video using the Hair dryer ? You can smell the BS.

So if its putting out 230.7 Volts, we can assume its on the lowest 6% setting. According to what I've read it uses a Toroidal transformer of some sort. Thanks for that info. No problems encountered with Switch Mode power supplies, its her Oven, its obviously taking a longer to get up to temp, I...

That's what I was wondering, I was contacted by the Company who sold the thing to a gullible elderly Lady, and was asked to visit the home check the Voltage and adjust as required, Out Put from the Eco Max is 230.7 Volts on my calibrated Fluke Meter, so acceptable, but I could not see any...

ECO -Max RMH63 or EMH100 does any one know if or how you can adjust the out put Voltage on one of these......er bits of equipment. (Being diplomatic) .

Can any one give me any information about a 10 year old Paxton door entry system. First question, the 12 Volt lead Acid battery, I assumed was to keep the system running or open the latch in the event of power failure. I am told not, but not what it is for. next question, the internal 12...

Yes I remember Zone 3, I believe that was brought in because of the trend for Bathroom on Suites, so to recap then, you can instal a IPX4 Appliance in a bathroom as long as the FCU is over 600 mm from Zone 0, and the supply for it will not require any Earth leakage protection, to be retro...

So, if the electrical installation complies with the 17th or 18th and the FCU is more than 600mm from Zone 0, (which it was) its ok. If on the other hand, the installation complies with earlier wiring regs its a no go ? Is that the general synopsis. Thanks for the quick response.

Just spent a few days renting a Holiday apartment (in England), and was surprised to see a WM installed in a very small Bathroom, further inspection reviled it was wired directly to a switched FCU, and I would also suggest it was located only about 18 inches or 450mm away from the bath. ie Zone...

Need some advice, for a work College, regarding a small single phase 240V 50 Hz, 270 Watt, Squirrel Cage Motor, it appears to run correctly and at the the right speed, but gets very hot, even with out any load, and according to the reading on a calibrated Clamp Meter pulls 9.5 Amps on start and...

Many thanks for the informed response. The inquiry was in relation to a story that a certain Radio (model PCR) made by the Pye company was distributed amongst French Civilians and I assume also the resistance before the invasion, so they could monitor BBC Radio transmissions, for coded messages...

Does anyone know how widespread the 230 Volt AC Supply system was in France during the later War years, 1942 onwards. Or what was the most common domestic voltage and system ? Were there areas of DC, as in the UK ? I cant find any info on the net , any info really appreciated.

I would feel as safe as houses using a AVO 8 with the correct AVO test leads.

I have been informed by some one knowledgeable, that the old style AVO 8 Meter with its copper oxide rectifier is accurate up to 100Khz. So its now time to blow the dust of my old AVO 8. Thanks for the replies, I did find some suggested circuits and methods using a DMM on the net, but the...
