Where can I ask electrical code questions. I am in the US. I had an electrician install an outlet I think it is wrong (L14-20 for three phase connection). Want to double-check. Can I ask in EE stack exchange, or DIY? or where?
@JRE Wima isn't a bad brand. It's from the olden days, whether that's good or bad, can't say. But, a Wima from Conrad, eh, who knows how or where they got it. They don't
@SaprativSaha That's okay. Find a couple of questions you can answer and you'll get there quickly. It is frustrating reading bad questions and not being able to give feedback to the posters.
@ThePhoton not as frustrating as getting adequate feedback flagged and removed as offensive. Sometimes it is just the right thing for the poster to go to the nearest woods and hug a tree
@PlasmaHH Or wanting to strangle OP but only being able to downvote and vote to close. But sometimes it's better for the reader to go hug a tree as it is for the asker.
@PlasmaHH I ended up driving to Conrad Electronics in Mainz and buying a couple of the polypropylene caps. That seems to work, but it seems something else died too. Troubleshooting the trigger and timebase circuits now.
Mainz is only an hour drive from where I live. I'm on vacation, and wanted to work on some my hobby stuff. If I'd ordered the parts, they'd have gotten here sometime next week. I didn't want to wait that long.
Timebase seems to work. It has a sweep output, and it shows AC on my multimeter when it should be running
@ThePhoton By any chance, do you know any compliance consultants in our neck of the woods, who are versed in CE certification? Or how to look for them?
I can pretend to be one and talk convincingly out of my ass on half the points, while being spot on with the other half, so as to create the illusion of fully-versed-ness.
@ThePhoton Yes. CE can be self-certified. Our device is near-medical in nature. I have a bit of a knowledge gap, because I don't know the full list of things to put into out self-certification file. This is where a consultation with a subject matter expert would help.
