"The Bride and Groom"

Not sure about measuring the current, but I used to do surveys with a thermal imaging camera, this was one thing I could pick up on in sub-stations as the eddy currents produced heat in the gland plates. If your installation has a gland plate you could link all the holes with a saw slot...

Some hobs have a battery powered ignition

I bet one of the blacks will not have any copper up the middle!! You are never right to "assume" anything, it will only take a couple of minutes to remove the covers to check the other end of the cable.

Lamp life is an average, which is based on the number of starts and the length of operation, so if you turn lights on and off frequently they will not last as long (actual operating hours) as lamps that run continuously.

OK point taken, do you want me to advise the OP on the safe use of ladders to get to the alarm box as well?

To completely disable it you need to take off the front cover of the alarm panel, this will set off the alarm, once the cover is off, locate and remove the mains fuse and disconnect the battery. Next go outside and remove the cover from the sounder and disconnect the battery in here too.

I have bought a second-hand roller shutter door, it is a galvanised, industrial door. The problem is that there is no tension in the spring in the roller. Does anyone know the correct procedure for re-tensioning the spring? There is a hole drilled through the shaft so the spring can be...
