Hi - first-time post from a complete novice.
I want to install a 24kw electric boiler on my property but that size requires Phase 3 supply. Northern Powergrid don't install Phase 3 in my area (off grid) but can increase capacity via a split supply. Can I run a phase 3 boiler from a split...

Hi chaps. Can someone advise me whether it's possible for excess solar generation to back feed into a neighbours property if the two houses are on a looped supply? And presumably if it is possible, could this neighbour potentially then be charged for what would be imported through their utility...
Situation is garden summerhouse fed by own 16A RCBO in consumer unit in garage over 4mm2 (overkill !) SWA . At summerhouse this goes to sockets (no FCU) and to lights via FCU with 5A fuse. The lights are all LED so consuming minimal current From the searches I've done it would seem that is okay...

What’s your take on this….If the Gas pipe entering a property is plastic then no MPBC required.
This seems to contradict this with the gas pipe to the meter is plastic then metallic to the internal
I have added a consumer unit and an earth stake to this so called temporary supply.
This is a full rcbo board apart from the mcb to the spd.
Would this need a upfront 300 ma or time delay rcd?
As its a metal case I have a proper tails gland

Hello,
I have a EV charger that is reporting over voltage and is unable to charge. the charger will operate up to 253V
The solar inverter reports voltages below 253V and when the solar is shutdown and isolated the incoming supply reports voltages in excess 248V consistently, peaking at 256V...

Hi all,

Ukpn have put a supply in for us to feed an outside cabinet, which will eventually supply foul water, sewage pump's.
They have supplied an earth but they have refused a meter until we supply a TT earth and a 30 ma rcd.

An extension is being planned as crudely depicted. The existing overhead supply is in the way. There's quite a lot of house around the corner to the left fed from the existing supply...
Until last week I had a dual tariff electricity supply with a cheaper overnight tariff. This was good for the storage heating, but now the storage heaters are gone we've changed our electricity to a single electricity tariff.
There are two consumer units with the off peak fuseboard supplying...

Hello all.
I have just bought my first house but it needs a bit of work.
I am re-wiring it and I've found the conservatory ring has been spurred off a socket in the house. I am also getting really low insulation resistance readings between L & CPC on the conservatory ring. I've located the...
the electric supply cable to my property is fixed to an external wall and is with touching distance from an open window. Is there a minimum safety distance requirement or is this ok?
Thanks for any advice
I would like to ask advice on a breaker size.
Back in 2001 I turned my garage into a woodworking shop with several 240v machines. To power them I put in a 100 amp subpanel supplied by an 80 foot run of 4 gauge romex (two hots, neutral and ground) from the main panel under the house to the...
Hello everyone, I want to ask a question that I am sure will be easy for you, because I am not sure of the answer, but I am sure it is very easy for someone who is knowledgeable enough. Input 100-240V. 2.5 A - Output 24V. I have a 5A power supply, Should the fuse I need to connect before the...
