One's OE the other ain't!


http://www.eurocarparts.com/part_number.htm

If you have more than one part number showing on the search results page - check the first 8 digits, if they are identical in more than 1 of the parts showing, the difference between them is their make. For example: 332456780, 332456781 and 332456785 are all water pumps for a Saab except '0' indicates 'Original Equipment Manufacture', '1' indicates 'Alternative Quality Brand' and '5' indicates 'Genuine Part'.

Here's one for starters!

Due to a sudden drop in temperature, the pig man sets up additional heating by means of portable Edison screw (es) type heating lamps, fed from the socket outlets at the back of each pen. As there is an insufficient number of these lamps he improvises, using lengths of two-core unsheathed cable fitted with a plug to BS EN 60309-2 at one end and a Edison screw lamp holder at the other. After fitting a 150W lamp, the pig man connects the lead to the supply and supports the lamp by knotting the cables around the metal frame of the pen. To reduce heat loss, the floors of the pigpens are insulated with straw.

State

a) THREE hazards that have been created by the actions of the pig man

b) TWO statutory requirements that are infringed by the pig manÔš's actions.


Don't actually need to know anything about pigs, i'm studying electrical installation, and this is one of the college assignments :roll:

1)You would never have electric "inside" a pen.

2)Unsheathed cabled?? Is he insane,pigs'll chew anything!

3)Knotting the cables around the metal frame could cause the wire to heat up and melt,as the cable is unsheathed as well,the cables will eventually melt and the wire will come into contact with the metal frame making it "live"

4)Also,as the lamps are not fixed up correctly if they come down for whatever reason,they'll set fire to the straw.

Statutory requirements?? Sorry Mark,your on your own for this one.

Incidently,I remember my Dad doing just this sort of thing before all the rules and regs!
