That's what commissioning is all about. Find the faults/problems before people try to use it. Would have been nicer if it hadn't caught fire though.

You sure that is salt? Where are you getting your water from? If that thermal fuse needs replacing, your local repair shop and/or electronic components shop will have them.

I think that there may be a thermal fuse inside that bit of clear'ish sleeving. You might like to check continuity between the tow red wires connected each end of it. Also the thermal cutout looks a bit corroded where the blue wires are connected.

They'll all be politicians in 20 years time.

Basmati is still exported so how come you are missing it? The following from a news article last year: India, the world's largest rice exporter, banned the exports of non-basmati white rice on Jul. 20. The government is seeking to tame surging domestic food prices and “ensure adequate domestic availability at reasonable prices.”

Not quite. It will be paid for from taxes gathered from people who live in this country which includes expats. I see a link between the digital wallet and tax rule changes.

If the infestation is wood boring beetles and irf you can see the holes (evidenced by a little pile of sawdust below the entry hole), then you can use Chaindrite https://www.toagroup.com/en/products/wood-coatings/chaindrite/273/chaindrite Trouble is, you may not be able to see all the holes without doing some dismantling.

I,ve got one of those. It's called Mrs. Muhendis. She's not so whizzy these days but can still do a good spin from time to time.

555 Lovely pun. A bridge rectifier would be required I guess.

Haven't you learned yet? Every project/idea dreamed up by the government is a money making scheme but not necessarily for the benefit of the country.

That headline reads like a sits. vac. advert. American wanted for sharing explicit videos and abusing Thai women I'm not American so I can't apply.

If I understand this landbridge idea correctly, a container ship docks at one end, unloads it's (200?) containers onto 200 trucks then moves away from the docks to make room for another to do the same. Then what does the ship do? He waits and waits for another cargo coming from the other end, but what cargo and where is it to be delivered. Probably a logistics nightmare.

Oh damn.

It's an advert

Is Sodsong related to Johnson by any chance?

Would that be Windows or would that be Linux............ Never seen a battery coffee machine before. Wonder what would happen to the battery if the coffee got too hot. Never a problem with sodium cells. I nearly got a load of sodium batteries for my Solar many years ago but the Canadian company went bust first. You can get 'em here https://bridex.fujielectric.com/salt-water-battery

The rusty old wreck is more compulsive click bait.

Soon we will have multitasking batteries.

The country could adopt something like the UK national insurance system. The ageing population and reducing birth rate may make that a bit tricky though. A reducing birth rate isn't so bad because, although the number of contributors to the system becomes fewer, so does the number of recipients.

Yeah, Grondfos is the Rolls Royce of pumps but I swapped mine to Mitsubishi 350W because the Grondfos was 1100W and didn't 'arf use my electric. The Mitsubishi does the job equally well.

Sounds to me like a motor problem. If you can check the running current (electric that is) and compare it with the rating plate power this will give a good indication of state of the motor. It is quite possible that a 10 year old pump will suffer from stiff bearings and so will be working harder. Another test for this is to turn the pump motor by hand. It should turn easily. To do this there is usually a screwdriver slot in the accessible end of the shaft. If the motor does turn easily then it is quite likely to be an electrical problem in the motor windings. As above you should be able to confirm by checking the motor current. You will need to calculate what it should be from the simple formula of Watts/Volts = Amps so, for example, a 300 Watt motor in a 220 Volt supply would be 300/220 = 1.36 Amps under normal running conditions. Measuring this current is best done with an AC current clamp meter around the live wire where it is accessible in the consumer unit. Just make sure there is nothing else running from that particular mcb at the time.

Oh come on please lets stop sucking around. Happy New Year

It..... Have I won a prize?

Well said and Happy New Year

With some equipment like an oven for example, there can be a problem with live and neutral reversed. The element switches are all on the live side so a reversed L-N would mean switching on the neutral side.
