    Nominal Voltage

    Why has nominal voltage gone from 250Volts back in the good old days, to 240Volts, several years ago, to 230Volts more recently? What is the legal max and min tolerance in the 230Volt level?

    Poor work - by a 'proper electrcian'

    I found this the other day and thought it worth posting as certain members are so dogmatic in their views and that makes me chuckle because life is never that black and white. This is a new install (6 months ago) by a 'time served electrician' and it's in a public building. The installation...

    Layout has gone fixed-width! Don't worry, you can change it back though!

    If you browse using the PC or Laptop, you'll find the forum now has a fixed width layout. If you don't like it though, you can always change it back. Scroll to the bottom of the forum and you'll see a drop down box on the left, select "Default Orange and Blue" and you'll get the old 'fluid'...
