Q:Hello All, I have an electrical equipment (face steamer) which was purchased in India (220 - 240V) and wanted to check, if I could connect this to an electrical outlet in US (producing 110V). Would this cause any damage to the equipment or the outlet ?

No but it makes me have a good cry every once in a while. Lately i've been getting really stressed out about our family finances. I feel like a loser because we can't seem to keep our heads above water. It seems that our bills are rising by the day. Between paying for higher gas and food prices, we're really stretched. Financially and spiritually speaking, I wanna scream every time I get a bill.

Q:hiwhenever there are clouds, lightning or clouds sparks strikes my house and damage my electrical equipments like tv, fan, lights. my house has an entrance from south side and have windows, doors openings from this side, i also have openings in north direction to access to my back verandah but no sparks fall from this side. The house have 3' high iron bars fencing at front wall of 5' height as well as on rear wall of 5'-6 height. Do i need to put one 1'-6 high lightning rod made up of copper and aluminium and placed it on the roof top of my house to arrest these lightning sparks whenever they fall or some lightning arrester or you have any good solution of my problem. my house is 39' wide and 52' in length and 33' high(including ground floor,first floor, second floor) and have flat roof top and its in haryana region. please suggest me what to do? i will be really grateful to youthanksbye

You Have the answer in your question you basically have to use a lightning arrestor an top of your house. But make sure that the earthing of it must be separate from your house earthing and try to maintain a earth voltage around 1Vlts preferably below 1 Volt. For more information on lightning arrestors go to the link below.

Q:BQ: Is it safe to unchain any of my electrical equipment yet?

Science says 4,500,000,000

Q:I need to cut a hole through 2(ish)cm of metal, or some sort of composite material I have at home to feed a few wires through. Is it possible to do it without any electrical equipment?

If you dont mind hammering with a pretty sharp pick for about an hour. Drill with a metal drill bit or a plasma welder would probably save you alot of time. YOu can rent those

Q:does it or not losers??

Yes

10 pieces of what. if it is electrical equipment (radio, TV. and the like) make sure it is the same plugs and wattage outlets before shipping. as they may not work. next get quotes from shipping companies. do a web search for shipping companies in your area. like shipping companies+Ontario what you get is a web page of shipping companies click on the link below to see

Q:every electrical equipment is rated in VA or KW(motor) why transmission line rated in Volts though it carry power.

Transmission lines are rated in MVA. They do have a current carrying capacity and limits. However the voltage of these lines is so high and the current so relatively low, that it is the voltage which predominates in determining the heights, clearances, spacings and visual impact of the lines and therefore ultimately also the cost. In consequence common usage very often refers to the rating in terms of voltage only.

Q:i was finding a place for the two in my room but i dident want to set them next to each other. i was thinking that maby their are magnets in one that will ruin the other? so i was just wondering if its okay?

it would be ok but i have 2 playstations and they were right next to each other and now nether of them work so if you want to put them next to ecach other i guess its ok

Q:20 ft. off the ground,miles of steel rail supporting it, thousand's of gallons of diesel, electrical equipment all around.

Safe. You are surrounded by metal which forms a pretty good Faraday cage. The loco is well grounded via the rails. Apart from the bang of thunder you might not even notice the lightning. The Diesel fuel is in a steel container under the loco and even better shielded than you are.

Q:Hi I have the chance to have a small premises at a garden center I would be allowed to advertise and was thinking of having a small studio thereI already have 2 home studio lights interfit background support and 3 backdrops I would be aiming to photography babies and childrendoes any one know what health and safety regulations i have to follow, what insurances is neededI already have equipment cover including my computer public liability and public indemnitydoes all equipment like the lights and backdrop have to be secured?do i have to have a credit card payment machine? basically i want to know every thingAndrea

Disabled access. Public liability Insurance. Possibly a toilet and wash basin which should also be adapted for the disabled. Tea/coffee facilities. Certificate to say that you are allowed to carry out a business on the premises. (?) Certificate from from an electrician to say that the electricity supply is safe. Fire escape. Fire extinguishers. Certificate from the Fire brigade. Thats a start for you.
