Live wire breakout adapter
Hi there - some of you might have seen my previous post about current-measuring CT clamps. This is another question about them! Once again I'd like to make it clear that I am not an electrician; my understanding of what you guys do is more than a layman, but mostly conceptual rather than...- fishkake

Installing CT clamps in commercial premises
This is quite true, but I'm not talking about what "should" be done, I'm merely talking about legality. What "should" be done is covered in installation documentation and advice. We don't fit the equipment, we only manufacture and sell it, and it's up to the installer to do what's right. I'm not...- fishkake

Installing CT clamps in commercial premises
The spec sheet says that the clamp: satisfies the requirements of Annex II of the R&TTE Directive and has been independently tested and found compliant with the essential requirements of: • BS EN 61326:2006 Electromagnetic Compatibility • BS EN 60950-1:2006+A2:2013 Information technology...- fishkake

Installing CT clamps in commercial premises
Hi there sparkys! I work for a company who manufacture CT Clamps to measure current consumption. I'm a presales engineer, not an electrician. These clamps, as I'm sure you know, simply clip on to a conductor in a consumer unit or elsewhere, and in our case, transmit the information wirelessly...- fishkake

Unknown box above external fire exit
Yes, I know that now. Unfortunately I didn't take these pictures for this purpose, I just took some general pictures of the site, and only later, looking through them, I thought "hmm, whats that?" - so I've shared everything I have for now. Hopefully, I don't entirely need to know. The job I'm...- fishkake

Ha! I didn't even notice that! Zoomed in version for anyone else. I wondered if it was a trick of the perspective, but no, it looks like it is plastered in...- fishkake

Unknown box above external fire exit
Thanks everyone. Really sorry - I hate people who post questions like this and then disappear, I didn't mean to but life got in the way a bit. Anthony and 123 - this is a BRAND NEW industrial estate in Nottingham, the sort where they build various rows of office/warehouse units and then rent...- fishkake

Unknown box above external fire exit
This is actually about a commercial property, but I put it in DIY because it's probably a total noob question and doesn't belong in the professional forums. Simple really - what is this? The box above the fire escape. Is it a power supply or something for the fire exit sign on the inside, also...- fishkake

Electrician Jobs Subcontractor for data cabling (Midlands)
All information is good information. I didn't know 50173 before yesterday - It's not relevant right now, but if things go to plan it might be very soon. Whenever I've done data, it's been tested in a variety of common sense ways, and signed off by a happy customer, but never tested to a standard...- fishkake

Mains vs data vs PoE
Sorry, I haven't been very clear. The job is installing security systems. In some cases, all the power for all the kit comes over PoE, which means our job is installing a PoE switch in to a server rack, or even using an existing one, and running Cat5 cable throughout the building to any...- fishkake

Electrician Jobs Subcontractor for data cabling (Midlands)
50173 appears to be about connection quality, about function rather than safety or legality, is that right? It's a good point of course, but I'm talking about the safe and legal stuff here. I'm good with the networking side - this is bolt on stuff with low bandwidth requirements and I know what...- fishkake

Mains vs data vs PoE
Great reply, thank you. Networks are fine, I know about speed and bottlenecks and so on, that's my world. This is essentially the answer I was looking for. However: This makes it clear why I need a sparky. Even if I don't legally need one, I need someone who knows this sort of thing. You...- fishkake

Mains vs data vs PoE
Hi, I'm guessing this is the right subforum for this. I'm a DIY'er who knows how to wire a plug and change a lightbulb. I often pretend I know a lot more than that but I'm in the company of experts here, so I'll accept my place. So if I want to mess with mains electric, I need some form of...- fishkake
