    Wylex 3 phase board fitting.

    Never used to be such major problems...Just no fuse wire or cartridge in the carrier....

    Wylex 3 phase board fitting.

    Keep it basic, to suit the question.

    Socket problem - can you help?

    A bit more shocking than a screw singe whilst fitting the socket, I feel. That would have gone with real bang, in hand. Can't see 'em replacing the socket without isolating, really. Now that WOULD be dumb. If so, I hope it was an insulated driver....

    Can you work as an general labourer first and then find work as an electrician mate?

    It can't do any any harm to work generally on sites and who knows what opportunities might result. Better than putting all your effort into something which could turn out demoralising. I think it's a great idea and shows a bright spark for getting your foot in the door........and wanting to...

    Socket problem - can you help?

    As per previous posts. Sorry to say it but not being able to assess such an obvious situation really does show an absence of common sense as well as basic knowledge. Call someone with sufficient experience before anything else.

    single phase to 3 phase

    I'm not surprised with buzz's answer mentioning 3 phase genie.......probably thought he meant 3 wishes?

    Self employed guy working for us doing work direct for our client.

    I've only just seen this from nine months back. Interesting. Who knows a blokes way of thinking. It seems the client wanted to pay less for the work being done, knowing the sub contractor from past jobs. Six years is long time. The sub contractor's doing nothing wrong. However, being the main...

    What is your hourly rate as a self employed electrician? (2023)

    Must admit to a few of those in the past, always on hourly, though. Not much domestic these days....in fact at last NIC Assessment they'd wiped me off their details regarding Part P even though I'd registered one job through them.

    What is your hourly rate as a self employed electrician? (2023)

    I know what you're saying but I'm on about pricing for 6 downlights on one switch cct not 6 switch circuits and the wiring for 'em. It's not going to take as long to wire 6 in one room as 6 in 6 rooms

    What is your hourly rate as a self employed electrician? (2023)

    Per point is the general way of quoting for rewire, say. However, can't see how you would get away with that method for downlights in a room. eg. Lighting, Price per 1way plus any extra lights at 'so much per unit' Same for price per 2way. Same for...

    Proteus should call theirs Faecal?

    Schneider acti9 3 phase is great but I'm not keen on the easy9 domestic single phase. Fusebox seems ok but it's Hager for me. For donkeys years, I was a Wylex fan but not the latest stuff.

    What is the front of a dist board called

    Enclosure/ front cover, lid, face. What would you call the back or the sides or the top or the bottom?......the rear, the wings the head and the arse?

    Repairing imperial mineral cable

    Knew there'd be a simple way...😉

    Repairing imperial mineral cable

    If there isn't enough cable to repair, take the switch up 6 inches, new box with knockouts, or as existing with earth clamps fitted, strip back and re terminate. Need a decent, experienced spark, though. High switch, but what's the cost?
