    Click UK switch fuse

    It's in a communal cupboard what if someone put there car keys there while checking the meter? Is silicon conductive before it dries. ip4x is a 1mm piece of wire,ip2x refers to a bs finger

    Click UK switch fuse

    How would others code the switch fuse not meeting IP4X on the top surface? The live terminals are very close to the top edge

    Hi All - UK based question regarding EICRs since the 2nd amendment

    I always measure ends to end in rings that have supposedly been untouched, people either forget or lie, also holes are drilled in walls and I'm fairly sure some rings were never tested at instalation, cables can come out of sockets especially after decorators have pulled them off the wall.

    Opel starts rarely - P1615; P1616; B3058; U2101; U2103; U2104; U2105; U2108

    I would be looking at the U2101 which may mean the BCM has less than 2 systems programmed I think,it may be in the ABS program the high speed bus configuration ,try to match all the modules your car has installed. its been a long while since I had a combo van , I take it you have the correct...

    Opel starts rarely - P1615; P1616; B3058; U2101; U2103; U2104; U2105; U2108

    you could have a can bus fault maybe intermittent ,the modules at each end of the bus have a 120 ohm resistor so you should see 60 ohms measured , try measuring while someone else shakes the wiring looms,other than this you may need a scope to check the waveforms against known good ones

    You need to program the vin into all the modules the same,otherwise they won't talk

    Protective measures other than ADS?

    In the EIC the above label has a tickbox. does this refer to selv/pelv , out of reach and so on ,or is the fact its in an enclosure applicable ?

    UK Upside Down UK Plug Socket - Is This Normal/Ok?

    I guess it’s better than not being able to use it due to the flex, and I can’t think of any reg it contravenes

    It’s so the flex don’t foul on the worktop someone cut it in too low

    LIVE EARTH WHEN REWIRING DOUBLE DIMMER

    A loose or disconnected earth or cpc as we call it would not stop other lights from working ,neither should it become live as I assume you mean? it could possibly appear live due to phantom voltage depending on how you tested this? if the wiring was an apprentice fault then the lights would not...

    Solar Power Expert Needed

    I don’t doubt that they work but a 1000 watt panel of 20% efficiency would have to be 5 metres squared (based on solar irradiance of 1000 W/ sqM. how much current does your charge controller report they are giving and at what voltage?

    Solar Power Expert Needed

    Is there a rating label on the back I have a deep distrust of Chinese claims on solar and many other things they sell

    AM2E and NVQ3 experienced worker route- the unabridged low-down for you

    Thanks for that , I am considering doing the same thing even though I am a QS lol

    Solar Power Expert Needed

    6 x 1000 watt panels without a roof ,are these in the garden? Where do you get 1000 watt solar panels from? The trouble with inverters is they have to up the mains voltage to feed back if this is a grid tied system , if it’s not then you can’t ensure the phase angle is the same which will most...

    ANPR metal housing not connected to electrical earth

    As above the chest level from ground ,metal ANPR housing has no connection to earth ,it has monitors modems and a camera inside with a 230 volt supply run from out totem pole lighting . Its on a 6 amp rcbo. the ZS measures 1.93 ohms cpc to metal case measures 158 ohms so its an extraneous...

    Is there a chance Dual RCD Consumers could be "banned " from rentals soon?

    Those videos were quite concerned im not sure I would specify Hagar after that when the Fusebox and Siemens seemed to work fine , while his testing was not that scientific I would have expected a trip with the series arc test

    Trying to find live feed

    If the lights are working there has to be a live and neutral or maybe an earth and a wiring fault, they simply cant work otherwise .
