Do you understand the meaning of "intrinsically safe"?

When you understand this, you may be able to proceed.

I will not give you answers, only questions.

stupid comment??????????????????????????????????????????????????

You'll go far here, I can see that.

For the record, we don't do homework for lazy, arrogant twits!

  • Do your own homework. CR4 is not a homework cheat site. While some here might relish the opportunity to sharpen up old rusty skills by working the homework problem, consider this and consider it well. If you cheat on your homework by using someone else's answers, you are only cheating yourself, because the purpose of any homework or other college assignments is to help you learn - by practice, repetition, and self-discovery. (thanks STL Engineer)

Good luck getting any more help here.

Why not check it out in person?

Maybe you can find some manners while you are searching.

My initial response was an effort to help you. I can't believe you are soooooooo rude.

do not get upset he is not rude he is asocial and deserves the qualification he used. As you know politeness was the work of many generations over centuries to make social life affordable unfortunately there is a trend to forget all those efforts. Any way with such a behaviour he does not deserve any help.

Good point.

["Asocial" suggests indifference to or separation from society.]

I think he has effectively separated himself from CR4 society.

An intrinsically safe light fitting? What nonsense! Total gibberish!!

Explosion proof, maybe.

Why? Now that would be intersting to know.
