    Help With 14 Year Old's Physics Questions

    Loved the 'Exploded' and 'Detonated' in that article. Far more dramatic than the usual 'blew' or 'popped'. :D

    Dual RCD board

    I admit that a specific regulation as regards the two phases is a tough one and the only one I could quote is 514.10.1 as regards labelling and warning notices as there were none on the cover. The only warning is the DANGER 480V scrawled across the busbar cover. As for custom made, I would call...

    Dual RCD board

    Four ring final circuits split across two RCDs on two seperate phases. The neutrals for the two ring finals on the left hand side are jammed into the load side neutral terminal on the RCD. Code 2 but was rectified immediately.

    Dual RCD board

    Picked this one up doing a periodic. One of the worst pieces of installation I have ever seen. Worst of it is, it passed a PIR 5 years ago!

    Good book for best practices

    The Scaddan books are very good. Not too much jargon and good explainations. Discaimer; other electrical reference books are available.

    whats the best tv quiz show ever

    Pop Quiz and Telly Addicts for me. There's no decent pop quizzes on telly any more, the only one at the minute is that ghastly singing one with Shane Ritchie which just makes me cringe. Telly Addicts was excellent, someone should get Noel Edmonds to bring that back instead of the pap he's...

    Strange fault.

    Yep, got a 6amp one in my test kit. At the time I worked for the tightest man on the planet. Surprised he didn't take the price of the fuse wire out of my wages.
