would 4x10mm2 cable be ok just to run a few lights, phone charger, fridge?

3000W/240V = 12.5A? So it may or may not burn the fuse in the actual plug?

1.5kW should only be about 6/7A though so what thickness cable do I need for that? Surely a standard 13A would cover it? Would put pump on for a few hours, then plug fridge back in.

ould 2 of the 25m ones work? http://catalogo.aki.es/electricidad/alargos_bases-y-enrollacables/enrollacables re:phases they are both new houses installed by same electrician so likely to be the same

This is actually for Spain. Until the electricity company reconnect our meter (taken away due to building licence expiration even though it has now been extended), we have agreed with a neighbour to temporarily use his electricity supply. Will a 50m cable suffer any voltage drop? We were...

I'm 99% sure I insulated all the inner wires but let's say I didn't and something eventually moved and touched. Worst case is just the fusebox would trip?

I have an IP camera with a 5V 1.0A step down on it. The black wire in the picture says 80degrees 300V on it. To extend I have just simply connected up some electric cable (white in the picture) of 0.75mm2 It seems to power the camera correctly so it is supplying enough voltage but is this the...

Is it possible to extend the cables that come with most phone chargers, IP cameras, etc.? These are the normally black cables connected to a step down ransformer. They look like they just have 2 wires so could I just cut them and then wire them onto some standard wire with a connector point? I...

It's just an enclosure to allow access to the conduit and provide power to stuff on the roof (aircon, backup heating element in the solar water heater, etc.) That white cable is a TV coaxial for the satellite dishes on the roof and goes down to the TV 1 floor below. The brown/blue goes about...

I need to add an external extension lead from the electric access (images attached). After turning off the fusebox, can I just plug it in directly to one of the plastic connectors shown here? It doesn;t need much in the way of current, just a simple 5amp fuse in the extension socket to power...

I have a UK step down transformer that came with an IP camera. What I want to do is connect this IP camera up to a euro plug and run it along an extension. Is it possible to take these apart and do that? I know I could just get one of those UK to euro plug converters but this all needs to go...

the axle does not spin, nothing to wear out?

I read 40 standard and though it was 40mm either way, 20mm pipe is still more than the 16mm axle so not sure how to centre this all the pictures in the build look like 40mm pipe, no? the hole here is 5/8" = 16mm

it's 40mm piping, standard waste. seems to be impossible to get waste caps for these in this country?! also, those plugs screw onto the pipe and you need a coupler to join pipe to cap. I'm looking for a end cap to over pipe directly and glue it. Would putting the pipe over the wheel like in...

Might work but I believe the idea of holes in the end caps was to hold the axle centrally in the pipe. If I just use washers, won't the pipe sit loosely on the axle?

I am making a kayak cart using the following design: http://palmettokayakfishing.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/diy-bulletproof-kayak-cart-build.html However, I can't find the end caps that I'm supposed to drill a 5/8" hole through and put the treaded rod/axle through that. I've tried instead to...

£1.80 x7 40mm equal tees (90 deg)

I'm building a cart to carry a kayak, nothing to do with waste pipe really :) Like this: http://palmettokayakfishing.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/diy-bulletproof-kayak-cart-build.html These things cost about 30p each equivlant if you buy them in the States. I need 7 (£12.60) and P&P is about...

I looked at wickes and they only sell 92.5 degree tees. I need one like this but 90 degree angles: Also, I had a look online and nowhere is cheap, all charging a few quid for a simple bit of plastic. Any ideas where these can be bought from?
