Confused about what? Be precise young man or shut your mouth, little boys should be seen and not heard!

There appears to be two points still to raise: Point one; is that there still appears to be a number of you who are prepared to theorise about a subject that is very easy to prove, if you are not prepared to go upstairs and touch an energised circuit conductor please do not come on here...

Hi Bernard, It's nice to hear a thoughtful comment for a change. If you take off your shoes, lift up the carpet and stand on floorboards, then remove a socket front and put the back of your finger on an energised circuit conductor upstairs in your house. Believe me, the current doesn't just...

Hi John d, An RCD only works when the human body is in good contact with earth, either outdoors or when for examle your left hand is touching earth and then you touch a circuit conductor with your right hand. Try touching an energised circuit conductor and prove it to yourself.

What I have quoted above is exactly as it appears within the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (which is still UK Law). The fact that you have not foreseen a problem is your own look out, what is 'reasonably foreseeable is for a Judge and Jury to decide. A metal door knob is unlikely to...

Part 1 Introduction, Interpretation 2 - (i) Circuit conductor - means any conductor in a system which is intended to carry electric current in normal conditions, or to be energised in normal conditions; and includes combined nuetral and earth conductors, but does not include a conductor...

Hi Guys, Finally you have come up with something. Where do you believe these 'touch voltages' come from. I believe that what you are referring to is 'earth leakage current' or 'earth fault current'. Earth Leakage Current - "A current which flows to earth, or to...

Well, well, well, Reidie hello again. Have you given away your true identity for a second time? When ever you find yourself in a tight spot you always return to the same line of intimidatory questioning, don't you remember? You little rabble rouser you! Wasn't it; "do you think all...

Hi Guys, Heating and hot water systems, piped in copper, once cross bonded to the cold water and the gas, become one large extraneous-conductive-part. Once the continuity of copper pipes is removed, the radiators simply become lots of individual extraneous-conductive-parts. Flexes have...

Hi Guys, Is it the simplicity of electrical safety earthing that is annoying you so much? Once upon a time heating systems were tubed in copper pipe, if the copper pipes are removed why don't you just replace the continuity that they provided with copper cables? When you boil it all...

Hi Guys, Well now that all of you big braves lads know how 'direct contact' feels, we can move onto 'indirect contact'. Indirect contact is what happens when, for example a plumber/heating engineer is kneeling on wet floorboards and has wet hands, especially when working with copper pipe...

Hi Guys, The NIC EIC never gave me their blessing to write my books, they have simply had to recognise them as genuine pieces of literature. The reason that none of the other bodies have commented is because they cannot argue with what is being said. As for all that you have written...

Hi Guys, All your comments are most amusing thanks for them. I have had a reply from the Chief Executive of the NIC EIC. She apologises for the delay in responding which was due to her engineering colleages taking the opportunity to read my publications with interest. The contents of...

Hello Everyone, I am sorry if this book has upset you. The reason that the punctuation is the way it is, is because I am trying to speak slowly for the benefit people who aren't as bright as you believe that you all are. My qualifications are all distinctions and merits. This book is...
