Disconnecting a gate motor

[Dave A]

The ball's in you're court Dave I wish you luck and Godspeed. Let us know how you get on with the appropriate authorities.

Now there's a not-so-subtle nudge if ever I saw one.

OK - let's give it a whirl and see where this dance leads.

I am only fishing here but I have got a problem with a DC2-L Swing motor control P.C. Board are there any leads to the correct thread ?

Does the installer manual have any useful info?

Thank you you are a star I will read through it but at a glance I think it is a setting once again Thank you

How about when the transformer is at the plugpoint (and out of arms reach or sight from the gate motor) and the supply to the gate motor location is only 18v ?
Would an isolating device still be required within arms reach of the motor?

Dave why you trying to confuse everyone, got nothing better to do on this friday morning?

[Dave A]

I regret I can't pick the timing of when these things come to my attention, and I can't count on me remembering to ask the question on Monday

No. The regulations only pertain to voltages above 50 volts

1.3 Where this part of SANS 10142 (SABS 0142) is not applicable
This part of SANS 10142 (SABS 0142) does not apply to.......

......h) extra low voltage control circuits between different parts of machinery
or system components, forming a unit, that are separately installed and derived from an independent source or an isolating transformer
(excluding ELV lighting circuits).

Thanks. I suspected as much, but wanted to make absolutely certain.

Dave, I see Murdock has been suspended. Why does one get suspended from the forum? Did he breach one of the guidelines? He's been around for a long time.

[ians]

I do believe Murdock requested to be suspended, moved on.

You would need to be a naughty boy to get suspended.

In this case the profile was closed per user request.

How about some consideration for "fixed appliances" and "motors". If it were as simple as a plug in the garage, why not apply the same logic to geysers, stoves, waterpumps, heatpumps............
