Re: 16th Edition

Phidom
The allowed voltage variation in the UK is +- 6 percent (240 volts is the root mean square value (avarage))

You are correct that supply authority has to maintain the 50Hz frequency but this is to do with supply and tranmission concerns rather than the end user.

The voltage is of concern to us becouse of the power that a unit will use is constant. Power is calculated from Volts x Amps = Watts

So if you decrease the voltage the machine will draw a higher current. to run at the required power rating. and vice verca

Re: Tales From The Front Lines

I went to a servce machine that was not dumping water.

Young woman just moved house and ashured me the maching had been working fine before she had moved (Clue 1)

Did the usual. Dained the drum, took out some junk from sump filter. Run machine water still not dumping.
Drained the drum again removed sump punp tested ok bench tested ok checked drain hoses for blockages. No blockage found refitted again test ran.
Still not dumping water. 90 minuits still no further foward, cut my hand on edge of machine, a baby trying to pick up my tools and a dog trying to get me to pet it.
Finaly disconected the drain hose (again) from the U bend but this time had my head under the sink when I spotted that where the drain fitts onto the U bend was still sealed 😳 😳 😳 cut this open reconected the drain hose and away she went

If only I had thought about what she had told me !!!!!!!

Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?

How do you deal with this one then

MY own wife

Wife.. The freezer is not working dear
Me.. why what is happening
Wife.. Stuff at the front is not frozen
quick inspetion later
Me.. Dear do not pack the freezer soild with food. The fan needs to blow cold air all round the food to keep it frozen.
Wife.. Humm now you are just blowing hot air and dont want to fix it…..
Me ???????

two days later

9.30pm
Wife.. The washingmachine is playing up
Me… We have had it about 5 years now it will be the brushes I will get some in the morning
Wife.. Hummmmm you just dont want to fix it just like the freezer

Re: The reason you can’t give technical information out!

When I took over my current post there was no testing for colour blindness at all.
I am now instigating testing.

I have support from management when I explained the potential pit falls and liability of not doing it. 😯 We all have a resonsablity for the health and safety of ourselves and others and I personally would not like to work with some one who was colour blind.
