After some time Epson Stylus Color 1520 in our bureau started to fail. The printout is either staggered or fails and LEDs for “Cover Open” and “Pause” starts to flash. User’s manual says “The print heads were moved by hand”.

Q: Given a single 0,35mm² copper wire, how much current it will handle?
A: ~60A

Stupid me. Used DIY regulated transformes to start my Alfa Romeo today and hooked on the wrong connector. Alfa started. The insulation on the wire made a blue smoke, but … still working 😉

Anyway, got 6mm² wire for replacement.
It’s time to replace car battery too, i think. Or check the generator.
