I remember being on 210v in the 50s. The electricity board gave use new light 'bulbs' when they changed to 240v.

Sorry only read the label. :oops:

Where does it say Megger?

Went in a public convenience in Stratford (E London) once. It had classical music playing at high volume in it :D

But some dust can be explosive. :shock:

Another use for a river is use it as a source for a heat pump. :)

Not quite. The 'Wiring Diagram' was a block diagram and just showed a wire going into the variac and one going from the variac to the lights. And that was how it was wired. :shock: No neutral to the variac; it was just a variable inductor in series with the live to the lights.

When I looked at the wiring diagram then the wiring the fault was apparent.

No.

The fault was there from installation.

Saying that is a bit like saying Ford is American so Ford cars are LHD. :) Anyway the term Variac can mean any variable auto transformer. From Wikipedia The transformer in question was rated for 240v.

No, not in parallel.

No, the rating of the Variac was correct for the load.

In the 70s I was employed as the engineer at an advertising agency's television studio. One of my first jobs was in the preview theatre. The house lights were dimmed by a big Variac. The problem was that the Variac's brushes kept on burning out. What was the fault?

Check with a multimeter if the reed switch is turned on at the same position of the knob as the microswitch is actuated . If so connect the wires to the C (common) and NO (Normally Open) terminals of the microswitch.

As in 'up to 8Meg' that BT promise. I get about 0.6M at my chalet. :(

Pre-harmonised cable core colours, date code (if any) on CU etc. ?

What does the 'P' in PAT stand for. :?:
