Its true.its a secure closed site,finger print entry only.so the thief/thieves are fellow employees.
when it happened i wouldve chopped off his hand.ive mellowed now to just pure hatred of that nationality

ONLY if the load doesn't follow Ohms Law. The only time the current will increase is if the load is actively and dynamically altering it's characteristics as the voltage changes.

I = V/R where I is current, V is voltage and R is the load resistance. If the load is staying the same and the voltage dropping so is the current. The power will go down as well (power is I squared x R)

Aye but the long lead is a load that's added to the demand of the tool. TBH I can't argue the physics of it I know there are a lot of factors involved especially when it's a motor hanging off the end. All of our plant specifies maximum length of power lead in most cases it's 50m for 3 phase plant.

Worked on a similar site but as I was "working supervisor" and had one team sent back east for being dangerous my stuff was pretty safe, still shocking how bad some of them are

Scum. It's not much to ask for people to earn things rather than take someone else's.

Probably needs changing for a 32A 'D' curve, tell him to do his job properly

...cos that always ends well

This is the original plug. Apparently Lincoln and Miller standardised on this connector on their engine drives back in the 90's... Commonly used for electric ovens, it has a neutral there so you can get a 120v tap for running control circuitry. the 16a ceeform that has been added is wired straight across the 2 lives which are 180 degrees out of phase. Rated at 50a per blade, it's about 60mm across.

The 120v will run all regular 110 power tools, but it isn't 55-0-55 so it's not as safe... Meh... I'm okay with that.

Never seen those before, but they look pretty good.

North American, that's why...

problem is mid weld,not striking up.changing to a d will not make it stop.

Aha yes, sorry missed that bit
