Another very important difference between UK practice and North American practice is that in the UK, ring circuits are used, while they are not in the US. The central breaker panel in a typical home will have 15-30 branch circuits that go to various parts of the home. The breakers are set for 15A or 20A, and are carried on #14 or #12 copper with a phase, a neutral, and a protective earth. There's a FAR more extensive description of power wiring practices both in the US and Europe on my website that I was paid to write by a company that makes power protection products.. The did NOT tell me WHAT to write. :) http://audiosystemsgroup.com/publish.htm 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
