A steel junction box from 1958 which was typically used for lighting circuits, with a single cable to each point all joined at a central location. This one was removed intact from an installation and still contains the original rubber insulated cables. Made by Hartley Electromotives Limited, this example is a Type B and dated 19 March 1958. ► Social Media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/jwflame Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jwflame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jwflame/ ► Contact info, sending stuff in: etc.: http://xo4.uk/?YTT ► Website: https://www.flameport.com ► Support this channel: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jwflame PayPal Donations: http://xo4.uk/?PPP Amazon: https://amzn.to/30bKt4v ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkaHk4keoEw

Some LED lamps which cycle through various colours automatically. Claimed to be 5W, but of course they are not. Internally consists of 10x 5050 RGB LED chips, a single unmarked 8 pin chip, three transistors and a capacitive dropper power supply.

An old type of fused 3 pin plug and socket. These were used in some areas of the UK as an alternative to the BS1363 rectangular pin type. They are obsolete, not manufactured by anyone, and unlikely to be in use anywhere. The main feature of these is the fuse forming one of the plug pins, resulting in the plug being much smaller than other fused types which have the fuse as a separate component inside the plug. The example with twin fuses may have been intended for a supply with a centre earth, such as a 110 volt supply arranged 55-0-55. Or it could be someone shoving random parts together for no reason at all. Website: http://xo4.uk/?SfC ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLnIn8y75WE

Wylex fuseboxes with rewireable or cartridge fuses are very common in older properties. Plug in MCBs can be obtained for these, and are simple to install. However doing so is a waste of money, since the MCB does not offer any additional protection compared with a fuse. Both devices disconnect the power in the event of an overload or short circuit. The only advantage of the MCB is that is is quicker to reset - but fuses should fail almost never, and if fuses require replacement often, there is some other problem which no replacement device will fix. New consumer units will contain one or more RCDs, which will disconnect the power in the event of an earth fault, such as someone touching a live wire. It is impossible to fit these into old fuseboxes like this. It would be possible to add an RCD separately before such a fusebox, and there are some installations where this has been done. However adding an RCD in this way does not comply with BS7671, as in the event of a fault on any of the circuits, the entire installation will be disconnected and will remain that way until the fault is located and repaired. ► Support this channel: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jwflame PayPal Donations: http://xo4.uk/?PPP Amazon: https://amzn.to/30bKt4v (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases) ► Social Media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/jwflame Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jwflame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jwflame/ ► Contact info, sending stuff in: etc.: http://xo4.uk/?YTT ► Cryptocurrencies: Dogecoin DOGE: DShDwFJyXKqCddwVsuCWWYnGpuhFrBMyam Litecoin LTC: LXQ4QRqztUq1KBQccxeLDivrdnas5fcHrc Nyancoin NYAN: KUiaPqoRcNnhXHcfWrgEYD5aZqwocLnrwf Bitcoin BTC: 17JyfSsQuUi1tHow26QxUvsh45kP6vsK63 ► Website - More on this video and many other subjects Website: https://www.flameport.com Wylex history section: http://xo4.uk/?n5D ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTXnSgpiCSw
