    Connecting corded phone to telephone socket in another room

    Is there any reason why I should not be able to connect a corded telephone to a BT wall socket using Powerline adapters? I notice on amazon there are a number of adapter cables that I think would work but first I need to sort out if the electronics would permit it.

    Door Entry Phone

    In our block of flats there are 7 analogue, audio only door entry phones. There are enough free wires in the telephone cable to add video without rewiring. It was put to me that it would be a waste of money to rip out the DEPs and replace them with digital and was happy to hear this. I...

    Does my transformer have sufficient power for an extra item?

    Have I accidentally mislead you? I measured the power consumption of the transformer whilst it is running the humidifier on the basis that measuring the amount of water flowing into a tank will give an accurate measure of the water content. However your reply has made me doubt if I have...

    Does my transformer have sufficient power for an extra item?

    I bought an ultrasonic humidifier which comes with a transformer. The label for the transformer says it is 24Vac, 1.2A. I measured the electricity consumption over 48 minutes: 0.11A 22Wats 245Volts I want to split the transformer cable so that it can also run a small computer case fan. Is...

    replacement charger

    Thank you both for your replies. I was being extra cautious in asking the question expecting it to be ok (the failed charger does not indicate it is anything special). I am therefore very grateful that I asked for help.

    replacement charger

    Sorry for asking a basic simple question but I do not know the answer: I have a pair of battery heated gloves. They each hold a battery pack in a pouch on a glove. Each pack is3.7v 3300mAh. They are Li-polymer. The charger that has stopped working is a Switching charger output 4.5v DC...

    Battery supplied electric Jacket

    Thank you all for your help. It has been wonderful. I have always expected a very low resistance reading to indicate continuity equal to 0 resistance. This view came from this type of logic: I had always assumed that electric fire elements were high resistance. Not withstanding a high...

    No. It is not reasonable. They should be in close range to each other. The reading when touched is .001 Does this imply that there is no resistance in the Gillet?

    Battery supplied electric Jacket

    I agree but at least there is some resistance showing on the heating elements. Am I right to assume that if one of the three were shorting then the resistance reading would be Zero? In which case does the presence of some resistance gives the ok to all three parrallel connected heating...

    Battery supplied electric Jacket

    I have rechecked the Ohms readings Gillet 2k .01 Jacket 2k .06 At 20k both 00 Although made by the same supplier, It does not follow that the Gillet heating element is the same as the Jacket's, because they make changes to the garments including the elements. As the Gillet reading at 2k is <>0...

    Battery supplied electric Jacket

    Now that the battery pack does not appear to be supplying its charge to the gillet, no heat is apparent at the battery pack. However that same battery pack does work in the Jacket, as opposed to the Gillet.

    Transformer for Camera

    It was very discounted from a reputable shop and I can take it back if it does not work. I have been looking for a switch mode charger. Is that overkill and so should i settle for an ordinary charger?

    Transformer for Camera

    I bought a motorised cam without its transformer. It is rated at 5v dc 2A. The nearest transformer I have is 5.99v 2A. Can I assume that I must match the voltage exactly and 5.99v risks damaging the cam?

    LED for electric heater (UK)

    Thank you every one for helping me find a solution. If I find an LED indicator rated for 240v will that work just as well as the Neon?

    LED for electric heater (UK)

    Thank you for the detailed explanation. I understand it much better. Will the resistor be built into the neon indicator lamp I buy, so that I do not need to buy a separate resistor?

    LED for electric heater (UK)

    Let me understand how you recommend the wiring: Wire a neon across the thermostat. It will be out when the heater is on -shorted by the thermostat contacts (but the rocker switch neon will be on then anyway) and 'lit' when the thermostat is open circuit. Are you proposing that I short the...
