Yes The US will bring two or three 110v lines in to a big house. They will run lights on one line to N at 110v. They will run big AC units and cookers across two 110 lines to get 220v. Three phase motors are 3 by 110. Its safer from the point of electric shock, but they have...

Hi I am looking for a capacitor for an old Panasonic. Dual Capacity 0.74 and 0.4 micro Farads. 2200v 800mamps. Anybody know where I can find these. Regards Mike

Hi You should have a three wires connecting switch to switch. A further two wires from the light point down to one switch. So if you do not have seven wires in total, you have a wiring problem. Mike

HI Check the voltage between the white and the black in that room. See if you get 0v or 240v. Check the voltage on both to ground. Mike 8)

HI I had the misfortune to buy two AWI 180T microwaves. It seems that the AWI company on the IOW has gone broke. The logic board has now gone on one of them. Does anybody know where I can get parts for this thing. Mike :(

Hi Leia. Nobody can answer the question, unless you tell them exactly what is on the plate at the rear of the cooker. A pic would be best. It may be a 2 min job to alter the connection configuration. Mike

Hi Scott. If you did not pass the problem on to the letting people. You need to do the following tests. Voltage tests at plug outlets Live to Earth Live to Neutral Live to Pipe Neutral to Earth Neutral to Pipe Same tests at the incoming mains. From this, the fault will be...

Hi Jo. It all depends on your house wiring. Are you on 220v, or Both, with 110v lights and 220v appliances. If you are on 220v only, you must NOT reverse the wires, as it is not allowed to have the appliance on/ off swich in the Neutral line. If you are on a combined 110v /220v...

THANKS a lot muggles. I found the updated valve specs on the french "Bloc" site. I am a building services Engineer, with an electrical background. But as I spent 25years overseas, I was not up on all the odd gas part sites, where the info is squirreled away. Its a morrass...

Your description is a bit vague. Without the specs on the product, the best I can say is. If you are trying to heat the whole roof from below zero , to above zero. You will need a shedload of power. Is that what you are actually trying to do? Just take the insulation out of your loft, let...

Thanks a lot for responding guys. If I can enlighten you further. The Gas fitter is reluctant to source a valve due to the vintage of the boiler. He feels if it doesn't burn clean threreafter, with his markup, he would have spent a lot of my money on the job, for no result. He did service...

Hi Dave, From your pic The white plastic thing is a connector block, with two available terminals. The top terminal has a white wire going to the fitting switch. This would be the Live connection, in the UK. The bottom terminal has a white wire going to the ballast. This would be...

Hi As first reply, you must find out if the transformer is a dimmable type. If not, you can change it. Your load is 18 lamps x 20w this is 360watts. Your dimmer must be rated for the voltage of your lighting mains supply and with a 500watts output. Mike :)

Hi They test it to see that it is working properly. It is normally done up to 105% of output or more, depending if it for standby, or prime power use. Mike :)

Hi Dave No one is jumping in with a reply, as your description is not precise. Can you resend, with a photo of the "little holes with white wires"The big question will then be can you touch the fitting whilst stood in bath or shower, Is a metal fitting or is it all plastic. Also are...

Hi you have left much info out of the question. Can you tell me what is the 3 phase voltage what is the single phase voltage how many phases in your board what is the voltage of your...

Hi, I have a Potterton Diplomat, 20kw boiler. The gas valve has failed. It is a Honeywell valve v4400a 1017 c. Running on LPG. I cannot find a one of these valves anywhere and there seems to be no modern alternative on offer. The gas fitter will change it if, I can locate a valve...
