I don't mind a dumb now and again..in fact I see I've got two on this thread now!
Another point regarding the current sharing thing, Zs is always highest at the furthest point on the ring, not what you'd expect if the resistance was equal at each point. (anticipating another dumb coming my way!!)
 
It’s why it’s good practice to have the heavier loads like in a kitchen in the middle part of the ring final circuit so current will flow equally through both legs and keeping the first 2 legs from the consumer unit short as possible, in practice it’s not always feasible tho.
 
Ok a Big apologies to all you clever clogg's I acknowledge my miss leading post and inaccurate comment, thank you for schooling to the correct position.

Top of the Class for Spinlondon and DPG!. well done boys, :oops:

Marconi sent me a private message yesterday explaining it very elegantly, what a nice guy!... :oops:

Any back to work and school for me...
 
humour is often the remedy to problems, nobody should take anything personal that is said on here, i dont see it as any different to ribbing the guys i work with, not everyone gets a stellar apprenticeship where they cover a variety of works, i certainly dont know everything about the trade, everyday is a schoolday as they say
 
Yep, I agree. Bit of banter/discussion/moderate arguing is a good thing generally. And we all learn stuff from here I'm sure.

everything in moderation, nobody wants to work with someone who loses the plot for no reason.

usually the big national company boys that struggle after their apprenticeship as most apprentices are used as cheap labour getting 1 or 2 jobs at a time and coming back to the foreman, not all but a good majority
 
one of the guys i worked with asked me for a flathead screwdriver, so i hand him the one i have in my pocket, it doesnt fit the screw so he launches it across the loft?!?! all because he was getting divorced apparently came to a head when he started shouting at me because HE FORGOT TO ORDER MATERIALS lol told him he had about 5 seconds to wind it in before he gets his jaw slackened.

we became buddies after that

You could ask a mod to delete it, if you've seriously embarrassed yourself, or edit it and just swear a lot will get the same response :)
 
I’m sure most ‘dumb’ ratings are people scrolling through on iPhone - too easy to do. Anyway - don’t let it get you down!
The layout of the buttons is a bit poor. (Please don't be offended by the "dumb" rating for this post - I just thought it would be funny...)
