Can you sue for falling down steps?
More than likely, yes. First, make sure you took due caution to avoid a slip and fall. Such things like not using the railing provided right down to simply not watching where you step to make sure you step on the step can cause you to lose your case. Most insurance companies will take care of your medical bills if you show you were not negligent and the property owner followed all the safety laws such as having an appropriately placed handrail, keeping the steps clear of debris as much as humanly possible and keeping the steps in good repair. If, however, the property owner has been negligent in some way and you can prove it, you may have an additional case against the property owner for pain and suffering damages. For this, it would be best to consult with a lawyer as different cities have different laws concerning the responsibility of the property owner.
What is an electrostatic discharge and why does it occur?
A VERY BIG PROBLEM practically all electronics are restricted to voltages no greater 40 50 volts electrostatic can be as much as 5kv to 50 kv but the source impedance is very hi so while the voltage is there current capabilities are not a low impedance device can possibly survive these discharges but a hi impedance device like MOS cannot survive since the negligent current will raise the potential very hi blowing the device.
What is the maximum gpm through half inch copper pipe at 25 psi?
When you say 1/2" are you talking about 5/8 OD or nominal size and which type of copper? K /L/ M as there is friction looses to consider I am referring to 1/2" nominal type L copper pipe, and the friction loss is negligent because the section of 1/2 inch tubing is only 2" nipples on either side of a electric shut off valve. The actual set-up is 1" PVC supply at 65psi, reduction fitting to 3/4" into a pressure redusing valve, 3/4" out of the valve through another reduction fitting to 1/2" into and through the shut-off valve, then into the furnace. Distance from the first 1' to 3/4" reducer to the furnace is only a distance of about 14". Hope this helps.
Would it be useful to insert two fuses in a circuit instead of one?
If the circuit develops a fault which causes a dangerous over-current condition - which would have caused the original piece of fuse wire to melt and thus break the circuit before anything catches on fire - then doing the kind of vandalism to a fuse carrier, as is possibly being described by this question, is a negligent and highly dangerous act.For a re-wireable fuse, using two pieces of fuse wire instead of one - or using a paper clip, a nail or any other piece of metal which is not the correct fuse wire - is:highly dangerous as it is a major cause of house-firescould mean that your house would no longer be covered for fire damagean illegal act in some countries which, if proven, could result in criminal prosecution followed by a heavy fine and/or imprisonment.To summarize:If this question is asking if it would be useful, in a re-wireable fuse carrier, to replace a single length of fuse wire by two lengths of fuse wire, wired in parallel, the answer is NO because one length of fuse wire should only ever be replaced by ONE length of the correct amperage rating, which means it must be fuse wire of an identical gauge and material as the original.If this question is asking if it would be useful to replace a single cartridge fuse by two similar cartridge fuses connected in parallel, the answer is NO because the extra fuse would not be able to offer the same protection to the circuit as the original single fuse was intended to do. A single cartridge fuse should only ever be replaced by ONE cartridge fuse of the same identical size and amperage rating.If this question is asking if it would be useful to replace a single cartridge fuse by two similar cartridge fuses connected in series, the answer is NO. The additional fuse would serve no useful purpose. A single cartridge fuse should only ever be replaced by ONE cartridge fuse of the same identical size and amperage rating.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What is the cost to change fuse box to a circuit breaker?
Hire an electrician. The fuse box is the main distribution point of your elecrical system. If installed wrong it will set your house on fire. It will be inspected when you sell your home and if you do it wrong the inspector will force you to have it fixed by a professional. This is not worth trying to do it yourself. There is to much at stake and too many people will be watching (Don't forget you will have to notify the power company to shut your power off, so you can't fly "under the radar".) If you mess up grounding or switch a wire it will make every electrical device in your house unsafe. This is a big job, and not one for someone inexperienced. Finally, I will add do it right or don't do it at all. If you are negligent you could easily kill someone through fire or electrocution. If you read and do your homework and learn what it required you may find that small electrical repairs can be quick and easy. If you can't understand what you need to do hire an electrician. The cost of a professional is not worth the time you will waste if you don't understand what you are doing and the danger therein. This is not a small job, this is a major rework of the heart of your home electrical system. Hire a professional. If you are looking to convert your box simply for the convenience of flippng a switch when you blow a circuit, you can always choose to use a minibreaker, which is a eddison-type that can be reset with the push of a button. This often is a more cost effective solution.
