Hence the correct use of the term 'RING MAIN'.

Frequently used to describe ring final circuits in houses.

So, here´s another update.
I started to remove the big end bearings from the connecting rods. Once piston #3 (luckily I started from the back...) was opened, the crank moves freely. The piston itself moves up and down fine, but the connecting rod does not move far enough sideways to allow the crank to rotate. So it seems that the gudgeon pin at the top of the rod is somehow blocked.

As I wrote earlier it's possible that Jan's "street" supply is under-rated. Even if the house service fuses are 60A that doesn't mean each house can safely draw 60A. It relies on something called "diversity" which assumes not all households will be drawing heavy loads simultaneously.

It appears to be a problem in some parts of Scotland where some domestic supplies are now inadequate f...

As GuyW mentioned earlier 60A is a minimum, my house has a 100A supply.

I suppose when the EV people fill up they only have a choice of Regular electrons, no choice of a premium version, nothing perked up with some of those high energy ones they use at CERN and elsewhere.

A kWh is a kW supplied continuously for an hour, so Jan's 60kWh battery can supply 60kW for that hour, 15kw for 4 hours or 1kW for 60 hours, or conversely be recharged fully at home by a 7.5kW charger in 8 hours plus a bit given that nothing is 100% efficient.

A house supply will have a 60A fuse so much more than a standard EV charger will draw, and the local cables will be rated on that ...

Yes, it's a 'normally closed' switch so when the pedal is operated and moves away from the plunger the contacts close to light the lamps.

Tasty Classics on YouTube is a good example of the income generated by such car restoration programmes. Ben, the main participant and car enthusiast, talks openly about the programme income that enables him to return classics to the road that otherwise would have been scrapped. He does much of the work himself, only farming out very specialist tasks. Even then, he sometimes takes the decision th...

What's the global population of AI's?


There is no single exact count of how many artificial intelligence systems exist, because thousands of individual AI models, applications, and open-sour...

The bracket that goes underneath the radiator as per picture.

Are you referring to the supports at the side that go from the radiator to the bottom edge of the bulkhead and that are adjustable or are you talking about the bracket that goes underneath the radiator Bob?

I have both here.
