    Help with electronic terminology

    This is related to my question. It is related to the fact that IMO there was no (or minimal) knowledge of electronics and any potential risks. Thank you

    Help with electronic terminology

    Hi and thanks, So in other words, the text "Operates on standard household current, 115 VAC, 15 AMP minimum grounded circuit" does NOT state that the company will be installing a GFCI receptacle? It would mean they would instal an extension with a standard 3 holed receptacle? Does the...

    Help with electronic terminology

    Hi and Thank you Bob, Do you know what the this means? "Operates on standard household current, 115 VAC, 15 AMP minimum grounded circuit" Does the phrase imply that it *should* have <had> a GFCI plug? Or is a "simple" grounded plug adequate? It had a socket similar to computer equipment...

    Help with electronic terminology

    Hi, I am trying to decipher the following statement (to see if the plug *should* have been GFCI) "Operates on standard household current, 115 VAC, 15 AMP minimum grounded circuit" This was supposed to be for an electronically powered (not battery) out door stair lift (stair chair) -...

    Adapter

    Microwave question

    Just to clarify: what I was trying to ask was whether a microwave oven fan staying on after cooking can be normal. I am not asking for legal advice etc. I was asking for technical advice - I am not sure where else I can ask a question concerning the normal functioning of a microwave oven.

    Microwave question

    Yes Small Claims Court exists here. I just wanted to ensure that this is not normal - The other thing is that manual states this Fan_staying_on phenomenon twice: “FAN MOTOR OPERATION After using the oven repeatedly or for long time, the fan may operate to cool the electric components. This...

    Microwave question

    Thanks I got it from SEARS Canada. They will not take it back btw. I took far too long finding out it had problems (And they took far too long getting a technician here and "fixing" it). Is there a Web site that would enlighten Sears that staying on is not normal? Thanks
