Dad had a little bit of cardboard with three different amperages wrapped around it. --- End quote --- That is the type of fuses in my house which was built in 1976. --- End quote --- Same here, my grandparents home. From the 1965. |

A fuse is a fuse, I guess. Do you have an RCD? --- End quote --- No RCDs in the house. In the garage I fitted a RCD equipped dual socket outlet. One outlet has the pond pump plugged into it. The pump is fully submerged. When cutting the hedges with an electric clipper I use a long extension cable with a RCD plug on it. I did trip that once when I accidentally cut the clipper's cable. |

I reset it and immediately heard a yell from my dad. Hoo boy - the rest of the day did not go well. |

The first multimeter that I bought with my own money was a Beckman Tech 310, which is hardly trashy. It finally died after I left it on the dashboard of my car and the heat turned the LCD black. I bought a Beckman RMS 225 to replace it, and am currently searching for a replacement for it. |

My first one was this Sanwa U-50D in 1971, when I was 13. It is an excellent brand, although not a high end model I still have it |
