Are you sure it’s not 5 sqmm is it really 0.5sq mm. Even the village electrician won’t do such things. If its really 0.5 sq mm chances are that the owner and electrician who did this also cheaped out by not providing earth to three pin connections.
The bank in front my house constructed in 07 doesn’t have a earth in the ATM. Nor is earth there in the dual 5kva online UPS room which powers the bank.
Yes.
There was one socket in my kitchen, I needed two, one for oven and another for mixer/washing machine/chopper/toaster etc. So I got an electrician to pull a wire from the existing board and installed a new board by the side. When he opened the board, the wires were just as thin as the ones going to lights and fans.
This is what I liked about APC
That term did make me smile when i saw it, another is clover leaf which is a better term as it does not have a slang connotation. Doubt you’d find anything using it though.
There’s probably a resistor inside that’s warming up because it’s having to drop down 230v to the ~2v that the led needs, this component warming up is normal and it’s not a problem if it burns out, since resistors always fail open and not short circuit.
The indicator is a nice feature of the adapter, but it’s done cheaply so that’s why it’s warming up. If there was arcing, you would see/smell burn marks. Eventually, the resistor/led will burn out due to heat or fluctuations but the adapter itself is not compromised.
Just saw this part, you could remove that bit from the converter and it should be safe to use.
off topic — that is a very nice photo, beautiful tonality
Hi. Do you have a purchase link to this? I cannot find Anchor 16A-6A converter anywhere. Only cheaply made local brands are available.
