    Just suppose....

    If that person has time to log on and post a distress call then surely they've time to dial 999. It must be quicker than trying to type fast.

    smoking ban

    I believe if you as the owner/driver are the only person to use the van then you can smoke. If the van is used by more than one person then it's classified as a work place and smoking is banned.

    Cable identification question

    Those particular panels didn't have a neutral feed, they just had 3Ph supply and then transformers for the lower voltages using the same colours for feed & return. There wasn't much 230V used, it was mostly 110V for the contactor coils & control equipment. And 24V for the PLC I/O If 230V was...

    Spark123 Looks like a mercury arc rectifier. We had one back in the 80's fed from an 11,000/440 650Kva TX for a single dc drive motor. Sadly it's now gone. Ricicle It doesn't look that bad compared to other 3ph installs I've seen.

    Dead Goodmans NR2160pf TV

    Funnily enough got the same TV and had the same fault, found it was the internal fuse that had blown (a T1.5A 5mm X 20mm). Changed the fuse and TV been Ok so far. The fuse is found at the back of the PCB behind a blue capacitor ringed in the photo.

    SwitchFuse or DP isolator

    IMO I would fit a DP isolator, providing the cable has excess current protection at source. Otherwise you'd have to provide discrimination to the protective devices, ie 63A at source and 50A at the outbuilding.

    Sky pin number

    Yep SKY have been messing around with HD & Sky+ boxes. As well as some films requiring a PIN during the day they have also made it so that between 23:00 hours and 05:00 hours if your Sky box is not used for longer than 2 hours it will automatically go to standby :shock: Imagine the scene...

    Water Heater Wiring

    9.5Kw @ 230V = 41.3A So 6.00mm cable won't carry this load, it'll have to be 10.00mm all the way. And as RF has already said you'll need a deep box for the switch.
