Just a follow up to an old thread (Google groups won't let me post to
a thread more than one month old) - http://tinyurl.com/5ohxs

Thanks for all your help.

My father in law and I replaced our old hot water cylinder as the
tests you suggested confirmed that a dodgy coil was to blame. I was
even able to use the cylinder that he had taken out of his house to
have a solar hot water system installed so it cost next to nothing.

So far everything seems to be working satisfactorily.

I'm glad that we have a result - and that we rank amateurs (IMM please
note!) are able to provide some useful advice now and again.

You've probably been commutated to an armature now then :-)

Time to Brush up on your puns again? Is your stator aim to see this

It's part of a three phase approach - this is just the starter.

I prefer an alternator approach, myself.

I think you're creating static - I can tell van der graaf (with
apologies to our Dutch readers).

In Wimshurst, you would be charged and probably die electric.

DOesn't have quite the same jingly feel-good feel as "cook electric"; I can
see why the Electricity Boards as were didn't have telly adverts urging
people to "die electric".

When I lived in North Wales, there was a shop in the village run by a
venerable gentleman called Dai Jones.

It was a double fronted Victorian shop with a glass display window on
each side and the entrance door in the centre, like hundreds of
thousands of shops of its type around the country.

What was interesting here though, was the combination of merchandise.
The enterprising Dai was both the village greengrocer and the
electrical shop, one on each side.

If you went in there to buy a light bulb and he was selling potatoes,
he would take off his brown overall, go out to the back of the shop,
wash his hands and return in his white overall to serve on the
electrical side.

Then he'd change back

It took ages of course, but nobody seemed to mind.

Not Evans the Electric then.

When I lived in Mid Wales there was a shop that did electrics and bicycles.
And in Edinburgh there is a shop that is Darts and Television.

Don't tell my wife that. She already thinks in terms of throwing
darts at pictures of people in DIY and woodworking programmes.
