To EFC. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} -2- R4/G11/6/19 Contd. contact maker makes contact. This can easily be disconnected also, when a test should shew the whole of the circuits are insulated. An accidental earth (frame) contact on the positive side of any of the circuits should only blow the fuse belonging to the earth connection! An accidental earth on the negative side should have no effect." R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
