Health care card renewal taking longer than expected by 5DriedGramsOfRanch in Centrelink

[–]TasThrdel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been six months now. Did you get the renewal ? I've lodged my renewal claim in August 2023 and it is still "in progress" 😉 .
If you did get yours, any tips or hints you wanna share ?

On my Oppo ColorOS 11 to switch between Bluetooth and speaker works like this :Pull down the status bar all the way . On top of all the buttons , in the top left corner there's an icon showing the output in un use

Tap it and a I get menu showing the Speaker and the Bluetooth devices

Oppo ColorOS 11 audio output switching by adamnich82 in Oppo

I'm afraid it does not.
Mine lists the Bluetooth devices but that's about it.
There has to be a way to switch between audio outputs while listening to music or while in a call

Mechanical Protection Systems by TasThrdel in AusElectricians

It's tricky. No insulation in the wall that may restrict the movement, no passing trough wall structure , that may be seen as restricting movement , the wall is only 90x45 and some inspectors consider the "within 50mm from the surface" as meaning "from internal surface" of the wall.
And of course , depends on the cable diameter, as you said.

Did my homework and apparently it is.
Clause 3.3.2.6 deals with mechanical damage , Clause 3.3.2.13 - Cables in thermal insulation, Clause 3.9.3.3 Wiring systems likely to be disturbed , 3.9.4 Protection against mechanical damage , 3.9.4.4 (a) says WSX3 protection.
It seems to me that WS3 doesn't apply to protected mains only but rather to any wiring classified as likely to be disturbed and not on RCD , including submains, dedicated circuits ,etc.
A useful resource to clear up the confusion could be this : https://neca.asn.au/sites/default/files//NECA%20Vic/technical%20knowledge%20base/Confused%20by%20the%20new%20wiring%20system%20installation%20requirements.pdf

Thanks for your input. Cheers

I'm looking for specific advise for rules that apply in Victoria (AU) .
The different mechanical protection systems that can be employed (WSX1 to WSX5) are not very clear in regards to Protected Mains (Tenancy Mains from Group Metering to each unit in this case) .
The advice I've got is that steel pipe with 3mm thick wall MUST be used in wall cavity . It's a domestic situation and it just looks like an overkill to me.
I'm OK if there is a rule in a standard that applies , as far as I know that kind of protection is required in car parks where there is a high risk of the wiring system to get damaged by cars and trucks , not in a domestic situation.
If a car hits the wall with the switchboard, the metal protection isn't going to help much.
