    1 year old immersion heater keeps tripping thermal cut out, any suggestions?

    Thanks all for the suggestions! Customer doesn't store anything else in the cupboard with the tank, not even towels or sheets. Heatrae stat is the newest one, old one was stieble. Water at the tap doesn't seem over hot. Possibly bent stat tube but that would need the plumber to come back and...

    UK Thermal Imaging Query

    I have one of these below, it is basic but has been very useful for distribution and contactor panels! It has found some poor connections where the terminal has not been tightened up onto the bus bar. https://www.amprobe.com/product/irc-120/

    I would imagine the person responsible for the installation of the Fusebox MCB is also responsible for tampering with the bus bar and the link cable!

    Electrician Shoulder Tool Pouch

    They are actually very well made, my first one lasted for over two years before the front pouch got punctuated by a screwdriver but it was still usable, the current one is just over 3years old and still going strong! For the price they are excellent!!

    Almost qualified, but low on confidence

    Speed does come with experience, but I have found that everyone works at their own pace! It's one of those things that the more times you do something the faster it becomes and you will find some quicker way of doing it through watching others and sometimes YouTube too! Confidence is also...

    The work always comes in doesn't it!

    The industry is a strange one! This year so far up until June, I have been flat out with big projects, 4 or so weeks for two people. This month has been really slow for me so far, but been nice to be not running around like a lunatic. July is looking a bit up and down too, and August is...

    Gas Powered Soldering Iron

    The Milwaukee is excellent, fast heat up long battery life, it should be all you need for soldering cables and LED strip!

    should have ripped it all out

    We used to have one in our hallway, had a metal backstop with some spinners set up in it! Great with the air rifle! I left holes in the Plaster trying to hit the spinners with my pistol😀 never was any good with a pistol, I can never get my breathing right and wobble about to much to be accurate.

    is regular Cat5e cable usable outside?

    In my experience it will go brittle quite quickly with Uv and temperature fluctuations! If it's going to be in conduit it should be fine.

    What is it called IR testing?

    Yes that is true, at least it gives you a warning before you try and let all the magic smoke out of the installed equipment!

    What is it called IR testing?

    That's what the megger 1741+ does. No delay up to 500v but it will delay, beep and flash on the display for 1000v before it starts the test! I favour an analogue meter for fault finding and still have an old Metrotest that I use for exactly this!

    Best certification software

    You can use Napits software or pick your own software to use. They charge for notifications every time you submit one, but they don't need to see the test report apart from at inspection time when they check your paperwork.

    Best certification software

    Red text

    Not a fan here either, it's worrying me! As above I don't like red letters. Black or blue or even very very very dark blue!
