To help you out a bit further on the selective advice you gave.so politely.... though I have already covered a lot of ground in setting the facts, there still seems to be uncertainties and pushback. It is not correct that tripping on leakage is faster than on overload, it depends on the...

You probably have testers for RCD as we do. Some are very simple, others a little more "complex"They will have variable leakage selections and give drop out time.

Not all combos have that coding facility.

Thank you for your friendly response and kindly direction. For the rest ...votre commentaire sur la « sécurité » a invité une réponse plus complète. Voila.

Ahhh Spectric ....wanted to leave it behind eh...Life!!...you can run but you can't hide!... I didn't introduce the issue but did seek to straighten it out. You raised some (UK?) electrical issues which I found interesting to pursue. Thanks for that. It was "once more unto the breach dear...

HI Nick in my response I explained a lot including the effect of accumulated leakage on RC guarded circuits. I mentioned also that some RCD's trip at lower than their rated leakage current. That's a possibility when another appliance added trips the 'combo' RCD/over-current circuit-breaker...

Hi Roy...a bit of a dissertation.... You wrote " in domestic installations is important where you rely on the Neutral for your means of earthing". Is this an English situation? If so I'm surprised. The concept of a neutral being used as an earth may be a misinterpretation of the UK PME/TNCS...

Fair comment and pertinent observation, nevertheless, D curve is available in RCD , which was the 'heads up', Apart from start/run capacitors when wiring is enclosed all through and earthing being able to do its job which is fundamentally to enable proper operation of protective devices , motors...

Thanks Mike. Gets exercise too as you bob down to check the leveling. It's one time when exaggeration actually does help.

I forgot to add in answer to a very fair doubt by one helper 'D' curve RCD combos are available: https://www.nhp.com.au/Media/News/Article/Archive/201408/NEW-D-curve-and-100mA-DIN-SAFE-RCBOs-are-now-available#:

Much Information.... Correct...motor start fuses (HRC type "M" ) are suited to the overload current (in Europe usually about 6 times run current). A separate circuit using motor fuses and maybe a polarised outlet so only your machine can plug into it....or have it permanently connected...A...

The low angle (often a block plane)plane can be very useful...even skew plane when you have work best cut in a circular motion, which is one way of reducing a hump to the point your no 5 or longer works well. It's not (necessarily) just 'grab a 5 or 6' and go for it...

So many good answers a couple I'd just like to reinforce as well as saying 'is it a tenon saw you actually need?...or a panel saw? ...don't buy a tenon saw which you can flex readily. As well as correct saw file you will need a tooth setting tool...Sharpening saws like 'yoga' or meditation, can...

HI Pete of course I'm not there but the big green box if like 2m x 1,5M x1,5 m sort of arrangement might be what we electricians colloquially call in Australia 'a kiosk'. It's likely to be something like 11 kV to 415 V transformer possibly only feeding some local pole-tops. My property...

Thanks for the info....I'd be getting some quotes from local sparkies.... You may find one or two who can do a lot better. As well (an was he a cadastral surveyor (no idea) or or a quantity surveyor (much better idea))what he may be including is some 'share' in the purchase cost of the...

Those things in my reply in red were URL's they still may be. Pete thanks for the head's up. That's a massive current availability on single phase...I guess that's the way they do it. There is a proviso do you have individual transformers? It sounds like it may be so at those costs Trevanion...

Perhaps I should mention that (resultantt) orque is directly proportional to square of applied voltage but there are other factors as well which will have received (if a good machine) consideration and which may interest you Torque Of Three-Phase Induction Motor Explained (a random grab) amongst...

OK Rob, got it. Here 3 Phase is commonplace excepting outlying country areas served by single phase earth return for example. Three phase connection does increase property value or property 'desirability' if you like for people who need it, want it or could do with it...For others it wouldn't...

Ahhhaaaa...you have 'outed yourself 'just for fun'...LOL!! ...Sadly rough and strong don't usually go together. The odious comparison from your critic has turned me off my dinner by the way....When I was younger (a lot) I'd do say a foot of straight (stick) welding to clear my head and see how I...

I can see the images all ok Mike.
