    Cheapest source of EN standards?

    Not strictly speaking what you're asking for, but Furse do a really comprehensive guide on the subject - I've had my copy for several years now but at the time it was free.

    ElectriciansForums.net Recipe and General Food Lovers Thread!

    I've somewhere between 7 and 12 weeks in the States coming up soon and I'm already dreading it - their food is utter shyte! It may be the size of a house due to all the agrochemicals and hormones used to make it, but remove all the salt and sugar and it's totally tasteless. Which is why as a...

    Mig welding and cable run.

    This is an interesting issue. I agree with you however I took this to task with a scam inspector some years ago and we agreed to disagree that the definition of ‘dwelling’ was the area served by the designated earthing system. On that basis my house has 16, 32 and (1ph > 3) 63/3 outlets for...

    Random Voltage Drop from 236v to 120v

    That looks like a Metrel display (I have one), they have a permanent 3 wire display that measures the three combinations so I would say that’s a genuine drop on the L.

    What would explain this strange measurement in the kitchen?

    There's an incorrect link between the two breakers.

    Random Voltage Drop from 236v to 120v

    What's the earthing system?

    Random Voltage Drop from 236v to 120v

    You’ve two contenders : either a large load kicking in and out but long enough for your meter to resolve - or - a cable fault (and I’d be looking at the neutral).

    Mig welding and cable run.

    If fitted with interlocks then no problem. It's also back to that classic argument of where does a 'dwelling' end - I've both 16 & 32's in my workshop, at home.

    Electric radiator advice please

    My guess is that you'll need to have your existing re-jigged as you've probably got a separate consumer unit fed from the time clock side of your meter? Once that has been changed to being permanently live then you can utilise the existing outlets that feed your current storage heaters. I...

    Can plastic trunking be used in a commercial kitchen

    Whilst this all depends massively on exactly what size/style of kitchen we’re talking about, high level white box trunking is versatile, quick to fit and glue seams to maintain IP rating and easy to keep clean. Alternatively if high levels of dirt are to be expected then ss conduit on hospital...

    I finished a job months ago , now the customer says somethings not working. Do I charge ?

    Too far back in time to remember the specifics but I did one time find a note to that effect that just said "good luck!"

    The wisdom of equipotential bonding

    Do you have ANY idea of how much therapy you've just undone?! 🤣

    The wisdom of equipotential bonding

    Otherwise known as “Electricity was perfectly safe until we started earthing everything!” It’s a bit of an all or nothing situation - you either build a system where safety is afforded by guaranteeing there’s no possible way to make a circuit under a fault condition or you build one that’s as...

    Meross smart switch

    My guess from that last picture is the whoever installed it has drawn two 6242Y’s instead of a single 6243Y for the 2way side of that two gang. So most probably that black conductor is doing nothing at all. However… a competent person with the correct testing skills and experience could...

    I finished a job months ago , now the customer says somethings not working. Do I charge ?

    Two comments: 1) At this point even I’ll go and drive to the customer to tighten three bodged terminals for free just to shut this embarrassing thread!! 2) Picking up on what James’ said - it’s all about trust and honesty. Last year I had a phone call from a partial rewire I’d done, maybe two...

    Working abroad as an improver.

    Just to add, on a more positive note, if you’ve got your heart set on broadening your horizons and opportunity by going overseas then absolutely do it!!! Just do it the right way.

    Working abroad as an improver.

    Sorry to say - but not many. The vast majority of other countries have a far clearer idea of what ‘electrician’ means than the U.K. so if you went overseas now you’d almost certainly find yourself looking for a bottom rung apprenticeship in that territory. I would suggest you’re much better...

    Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

    That would have been daft - would have used a junction!! No, it’s a 16A radial with a FSU to drop a lighting outlet which is the second run up to the light. Once the guy has cleared out all the other cubicles it’ll just extend and repeat that pattern onwards, at which time I’ll just drop a...
