If the cord breaks the worst that can happen is the light stays on or off? Non-conductive cord?

How much energy can you put out? 2000 Calories/kcals in an 8 hour day at 20% body efficiency gives 400 calories/8 hours = 50 calories/hr = 60w of power to mow your lawn. At the other end of the curve you may put out 2/3 hp/500w for 60 seconds. How much power does the smallest power gas...

Predictable behavior could indicate a rigid personality which could indicate a personality disorder which means the person is not able to benefit from new experiences. Given a person who is unpredictable I guess it could mean they are flighty or impulsive or adapting continuously to new...

Or use compressed air from a can or a compressor to blow out accumulated dust.

Yeah, it's for small contact areas. The kids who climb into abandoned refrigerators die of hyperthermia, not suffocation.

For me, I expand the trip curve image on my screen, measure it with a ruler and then convert back & forth to find the trip time interval. There's very little of the trip curve that follows I-squared-T. You guys seem more knowledgeable than US electricians.

BTW, from a medical paper I happened across, an adult with normal blood circulation can stand 42C 'forever'. With a skin temp of 97F (~36C) I guess anything higher than this feels warm. Did you know if you dip your finger in water you can then dip it in molten solder very briefly? The...

You bad, bad, bad. . .:D

There must be breakers available with trip curves that accommodate motor starting without nuisance tripping, but reading those curves can be tedious because they may use logarithmic and not linear scales.

Can you cut with an abrasive disk or split or grind the nut off? Also try tightening just a bit, sometimes this works for reasons I don't understand.

Let's say the pic is out of level and by putting a 3.0 mm drill bit under one end of your 25 mm level the bubble is again centered. The picture fasteners are 35 mm apart. You need to raise one end of the picture by 3.0 x 35/25 = 4.2 mm, the thickness of your shim. Forget about tangents...

Seems like this is not so easy.

Is there any penalty by waiting for it to crack? What do the drywall makers and stove maker say about this wall being warmed and cooled? Are the temperature extremes any worse than when it was just a fireplace?

Use talcum powder as a lubricant that will seep in between the surfaces that are chafing?

The fan is possibly being commanded to change speed in response to correct or incorrect sensing that something is overheating.

I hope it works out. Cows and maybe other animals are more sensitive to small electric currents than are humans, and over here, because of pre-existing earth currents there were sometimes no solutions. The problem could only be shuttled off to a neighbor with less political pull. It's...

What was your symptom? For 1000 uF at 50 Hz you'd have less reactance than resistance. To measure this you'd need a multimeter, 230vac at 50 Hz, a load resistor, and a formula.

Then use thick, flexible pipes. The electric motors in cars use it. It's DIY, after all, and with free labor the DIYer can make tradeoffs that commercial makers can't. And besides sex and aggression there is supposed to be a third basic drive which is 'mastery'. Putting on my Sigmund...

Ask them if they are willing to assume the risk for additional unforeseen problems, like a 50% cut in price and increasing with each fix that doesn't get you back on the road. Of course, they may say that replacing all this was necessary, but then, Why didn't they do all that upfront? From...
