    The big difference in the electric terminology and installation regulations and practice in each country!

    Rheostats in parallel. Load sharing??

    Random stuff, just for sharing, thank you!

    To kick this off, I really need to know what this is for...I don't think I need it, it is probably for a non-DeWalt tool... It came sandwiched in the cardboard with a new blade.
