Hello,
I'm interested in working PLC/ industrial controls weekend call-out work for any companies who need it.
I'm based in the south of England. Primarily I work with Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs.
Thanks,
Josh
Hi guys
I have some industrial lighting circuits to wire in a workshop and was after some fresh ideas/suggestions as to how i could best do this.
Have done a few of these before and in the past i have sometimes run radials in SWA cable to single gang socket outlets. The High Bay LED lighting...
Hi,
I’m an industrial electrician, so when it comes to DB regs and such my experience on them is a little limited.
I need 2 x 16A 3 phase supply and 4 x 230v 3 pin sockets which is intend to do as a ring however, the nearest supply is approx 120m away! Running this through a cable calculator...
Hi - just after thoughts on this please. I've been doing some testing on a 20 year old MCC. On the original EIC, Ze was reported as 0.04 R, PFC 5.75 kA.
Obviously this is a three phase supply, so shouldn't they have doubled the PFC and reported it as 11.5 kA, or is this business of doubling the...
Hi all,
Been asked to quote an EICR on a fairly large installation.
Approx. 400 circuits that are a mixture of single and 3 phase.
This is across 28 consumer units, in addition to the above there are also 6 distribution consumer units for the submains, and 12 feeder pillar boards (4way)
Building...
Hello all,
Trained years ago, not done much for about a decade but I've been asked by a friend to add 5x double sockets into an industrial unit, my thinking is to use a radial 32A RCB, 4mm 3-core SWA cleated to the wall (moderate impact risk). Area is small, only about 2-3m from the...
I’m nearly a qualified electrician and I’m looking to change from mainly domestic jobs to more of the commercial/ industrial side. I’m just wondering how difficult will it be and what type of work should I expect to be doing?
Hello,
I am hoping this is in the correct forum. To start, I acquired a film processing machine that runs on 3 phase. Now before getting the machine I fully understood it's power requirements and the cost of getting 3 phase installed at my house. I figured as processors are mostly a few...
Afternoon, is there any requirement for electrical cabinets to be all metal? Or is any flame retardant ok?
It’s for a basic PLC cabinet with inputs / outputs to a Cobot.
Very light industrial, nothing ever gets damaged etc.
I have an at my local scout group. They have employed a company to sand & varnish their hall floor. the company is using a couple of Lagler Hummel machines 230v 50Hz each requiring a 16A supply. (as a screenshot).
A 16A fused socket has been connected to the hut ring main (by replacing a...
Hi,
I have a question regarding the cable size to a 415v 125A socket. For the design current is it normal to use the protective device rating of 125A as the design current for the calc?
Thank you
Hi
As an Industrial electrician for 20+ years
I was wondering what I need to do domestic installations and sign off work. I read some things on part p, but that left me confused as they come and Inspect your work, but I can't start notifiable work without being part p?
Thanks
Neal
Hi all
I am in an industrial unit and the 100mA RCCB keeps tripping.
They use it as the main switch inside of the unit's distribution board. The mainboard that feeds all the units has an MCB in it.
The RCCB keeps tripping when I plug-in AC to DC transformer loads such as laptops, speakers...
I make my own ceeform adaptor leads for testing purposes where the 4mm banana leads generally just get plugged into my own MFT which is all internally fused. All ratings and sizes - 16/1 up to 125/3
However, it's occurred to me that technically that's not compliant to GS38 (or certainly not in...
Hello, I am looking to get some din rail terminals what I can put a 500 Ohm Resistor in. In the past I have used ones like in the photo attached, I cant seem to find them online now. Can anyone tell me the correct term to find them on RS or any other supplier. Thanks
Hi,
I've just landed a job as an electrical tester and need a new MFT (mainly light industrial).
As I'm going to be spending considerable time testing I thought I'd ask about the new high-end options.
what are peoples favourites?
Are these new fancy options like Bluetooth on the mergers...
Hi,
I'm an industrial spark and taking my 2391 next week (wish me luck, I need it).
I decided to get a bit of practice and started an inspection on my own house.
I got as far as, b32 socket (ring?!) breaker looks slightly browned, better check it.
3 cables in the breaker two identical and...
