    Wire twisting tool for small wires - ideas ?
    by Dannyx
    Good day folks. Recently, I started doing more and more alarm system installs which involve dealing with a ton of small wires which are part of 4 to 12 core alarm cable. To make my installs as clean and neat as possible, I twist together the individual wires whenever possible to make braids like in the picture. It takes a lot of time and wears on my fingers really quickly, to the point where I actually developed a blister on my index finger from all the twisting. This got me thinking if there's a tool designed to braid small wires like this. I know there is something for twisting together solid...

    New wire for my RDE3340 Whirlpool electric range
    by wnlewis
    OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.

    Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.

    This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.

    The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.

    Where may I find parts...

    Vintage fan repair, copper wire question
    by technicalspecialist
    I currently have a customer's vintage fan on the work bench to repair.
    It uses an induction motor with 4 poles. One of the poles is open.
    I couldn't find the break so i cut off the original wire.
    I have measured the other poles and the resistance is about 28 ohms per pole and I measured the diameter of the wire with my digital calipers and it is 0.35mm in diameter.

    I need to work out how much 0.35mm diameter enamelled copper wire i need to order for it to be 28 ohms. I have used this calculator and it says i need 160.35 metres.

    The enamelled copper...

    Nest Thermostat Discussion...
    by SolomonMan
    All,

    I was over my sons place helping him with projects today. (Broken Dryer Belt, a Couple leaking pipes (One cracked - that got me over there),and Thermostat swap.

    The Energy company offered a Rebate on the Nest Thermostat System (Not the Learning One) last year and we picked it up and its sat in the shipped box for about a year now.

    Anyways I was thinking it would be a quick job as I currently have a Nest Learning Thermostat at my place and it was not a problem to install. (Old Rheem 90 Furnace)

    At my boy's place he has a York Stellar...
