Statement of the Obvious:

Electricity is dangerous, any and all electrical equipment in your home is quite capable of ending your life. Like fire, electricity is a good friend and a bad master.

ALWAYS turn off the power before doing anything on your installation, even just taking the lid off to "have a look''.

Disclaimer:

Although AseanNow Moderators will, through enforcement of the Local Forum Rules below and periodic input, attempt to ensure that factual information presented in this forum is accurate and that advice provided does not contravene generally accepted electrical standards, it is not possible for Moderators to screen every post, and inaccuracies/improper advice will at times appear.

In addition, there are inherent limitations to the provision of electrical related advice in an international internet forum where posters are from different countries with varying electrical regulations.

Posters often fail to include, or misreport, pertinent information, and physical examination of an installation is, obviously, not possible. The knowledge and expertise of those who respond to posts varies considerably and their qualifications and experience, even if stated by them, cannot be verified.

AseanNow will not be liable for any adverse consequences that may result from advice or information provided in this forum. Members who offer electrical related advice or recommendations do so on their own accord and are solely responsible for the content; this applies equally to members who are also AseanNow Moderators.

Readers are responsible for deciding which, if any, advice or information found in this forum to accept.

Local Forum Rules:

1. The moderator's referee's decision is final.
2. We all like a laugh and the occupants of this forum are no exception, but please let's keep it within reason.
3. Any posts which offer advice which is considered dangerous will be removed without notice, if you see one please use the 'Report' button.

This section is Work in Progress, please check back regularly for updates

Update for 26 Feb 2024.

 

Please refrain from posting "Instructible" type threads regarding "energy saving" or "improving" <insert type of device here>.

 

These instructions, which often appear on YouTube and the like rarely have any sound engineering basis, are relying on false premise or simply don't work, and are often just plain dangerous!

 

If you feel the urge to post something along these lines, please PM myself with your proposal. You may wish to include some tangible proof that it does what you say it does.

 

Unauthorised threads of this type will be removed without warning.

 

Note that this rule doesn't apply to "how to make your own extension lead" type threads.
