Why do circuit breakers go up for on and down for off?

Stolen?

I wasn't aware you were a religious nut.

Ah, a neanderthal.

In the UK that's actually illegal, unless you can prove it's a tool and you're a carpenter on your way to a job.

Looks an efficient way of cramming people in like sardines. Until you factor in the wasted space for the stairs.

If it's running on 6.25kV, how do you switch it before everything blows up?

In no country is there 230V. It's 220 or 240 nominal.

You use a muscle which isn't tensed up. Only those in the path of the current are tensed. Assuming it's not going through your head, your brain can still make a decision. And it's not painful for muscles to tense up. You need a very high voltage to hurt (as in burn).

It used to be they put 50mA as the only ELCB in the fusebox. 30mA was for the little plug in ones for sissies and lawnmowers.

This was back in the 90s, when I saw other people's fuseboxes. I've never had breakers in any house I've lived in and never will. They're a pest.

Rating A B C D etc. The number of ms it's over 30mA before it cuts out.

Do the math.

Birth rates are below replacement in most developed countries. And people are living longer and better.

"Weak" has changed from the days of plowing by hand and fighting with spears.

I'm eclectic.

An identifiable male Neanderthal. 23AndMe confirms the Neanderthal DNA.

Which is why I have no intention of visiting the UK. Fortunately this is the US and i could balance it with a .45 ACP should I choose to do so. I do not because unlike the UK we don't have Moslem no-go zones in this state. The cold climate discourages parasites.

You do have to thin it appropriately. You can paint thin lines with an airbrush so there is negligible overspray. It's much better than a rattle can.

Some of the chinese laborers, blasting the railroad tunnels, lived in snow caves and didn't see daylight all winter.

The snow at the sierra crest is 240" deep up here right now.

Somewhere, I remember a story about a society where you have to have a license to be a parent. A man was denied because he was too strong.

Some people still seem to think that.

They were never very popular. I only used them on a "reverse commute" where I usually had a compartment to myself. The upper decks had no openable windows so they must have been hot and stuffy in summer.

Deeper in many areas. The summit at Mammoth had a total of 885" this season. The base at main lodge, which received 705" is currently 256"

yeah its why people catch colds more in summer. And why living in damp cold houses is so healthy

The practice of using different voltage levels on electrified railway lines in the UK is known as "multi-system electrification" and was introduced in the mid-20th century to allow trains to operate across different parts of the network that were electrified using different technologies.

The use of multiple voltage levels on electrified railway lines in the UK gradually declined over the years, and by the 1980s, most of the multi-system electrification had been replaced by a standard voltage of

The process of switching between voltage levels was done using on-board electrical equipment known as "multi-system locomotives" or "dual-voltage trains". These trains were designed to be able to operate on both 25kV and 6.25kV overhead lines and were equipped with transformers and other electrical equipment that allowed them to switch between the two voltage levels as they travelled along the track.

The reliability of multi-system electrification was generally good, although there were occasional issues with the switching equipment on-board the trains, which could cause delays and disruptions to services. Over time, improvements in technology and the gradual phasing out of multi-system electrification has resulted in a more reliable and efficient railway network in the UK.

Actually common colds are caused by one of several viruses. They reason that they are more common in cold weather is because people spend more time in close indoor quarters during cold weather and thus virus transmittal is more common.

Thameslink still uses 25kV on the northern section and third-rail DC south of Kentish Town. The arc when the pantograph drops is usually quite impressive.

Neither does the UK.

And they don't have the US no go black ghettos.
