drops

The Demountable Rack Offload and Pickup System (DROPS) was a family of logistics vehicles formerly operated by the British Army, which consisted of two vehicle types:

Leyland DAF medium mobility load carrier (MMLC)
Foden improved medium mobility load carrier (IMMLC)Both were able to transport 15-tonne flatracks or containers configured to ISO 20 feet standard and to load and offload them autonomously. Both may have been supported with side rail transfer equipment (SRTE) for loading and unloading railway wagons.
The DROP system was designed to meet the very high intensity battles in Central Europe in the last decade of the Cold War. However, it entered service after the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, but nevertheless proved a versatile vehicle system on operations completely different from those originally envisaged.

    Neutrals at switch drops

    So a brief foray into domestic has me slightly bemused…. Neutrals at switches. Easy enough if you’re wiring loop at switch, but if you have good reason to loop at light then logically all you need do is drop 6243 as your switch cable, simples. Except…. What about on a 2way / int run where...

    AC / DC voltage drops across Diode

    I am unable to find voltage drop of normal silicon diode(0.7v) on Voltmeters during Proteus Simulation. Also we consider 0.7v drop of diode equivalent to DC Source of 0.7v but DC voltmeter is not showing any output and AC Voltmeter shows around 5 volts drop across diode instead of 0.7V.Kindly...

    need to solve voltage drop over long run

    Ok so at some point I'm going to need to run another leg, until then. I have a main panel, 230v 80ft run to a we'll & pump, then a 900 ft run up to water tank and a pressure pump with another panel. Then a 120v leg off that that I want to plug an RV to. All 10 gauge 30 amps. With such a long run...

    Water on electronics, no breaker drops

    Hi everyone, I rented out an outdoor space for a party and they brought a DJ. Unfortunately there was a water pipe that burst and showered the entire party as well as the DJ stand (just my luck). The DJ is now telling me that all of his equipment is fried, laptops, TV, disk players...

    Circuit Breaker drops before Fuse

    I have underfloor heating rated at 3kW. The circuit goes through a fused switch with a 13A fuse in it. That is supplied directly from the main fuse box with a B16 circuit breaker dedicated to that circuit alone. Every time we use the system, it warms up for a bit, then the circuit breaker goes...

I know there is the loop at the switch method which I have used...

    Display drops out on SMA 3000TL-US, but inverter still outputs

    My newest inverter has a strange issue - the display quits but the inverter still works. I verified the voltage/amperage when display was out, and it's still working. This doesn't seem to affect production, but the intermittent lack of a display is of concern. Also, the "today's output" is...

    This has been posted about a lot but I wanted to ask a really stupid question. I can only run 4mm single g/y to each metal fitting from the board which is dual rcd 30ma. I cannot touch the drops, stipulated by the landlord. Is it acceptable to issue a mwc for this, write a safety letter and...

    Hi Folks, Went to replace a couple of light fittings today. No CPC on lighting circuit at all, except the supp bonded bathroom fitting. OK that makes sense to me, house was built mid-late 60's.

    Halogen lamps in pendant drops - Compliance with BRAD L1B ?

    I saw GE Halogen lamps in use on a social housing block being refurbed - whilst they are still allowed to be sold, i don't think you can say it complies with Building Regulations as they are C rated and so hardly energy saving - 1200 lumen for 70 W is pretty poor.( <18 l/w energy efficient is...

    My Ongoing Domestic Questions...

    Me again ;) Ok, oval conduit... 13mm 16mm 20mm or 25mm? I'm going to get my hands on a wall chaser so depth shouldn't be a problem, so therefore I'm torn between 16mm and 20mm as I presume 25mm isn't really that necessary. I know some may say don't bother with capping but I want to use it as...
