    Is my light socket safe for a diy wood kiln?

    I'm not an electrician but I watched this View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du5YGAtVL3k to understand what you were trying to do. So you are putting a light bulb in a well-sealed fridge and water is going to come out of the wood. That will create both humidity and condensation, which may...

    New Ford Custom and Ford Transit (MK8) Attacks

    "Our shield fits inside the Ford Custom and Ford Transit left side load door and you cannot see any visible difference on the outside of the van. " So they're still going to cut into the panel, even though they may not succeed in accessing the lock...seems a half-baked solution.

    Is it ok to not run jobs and just be on the tools

    From your perspective - Depends on your ambition to earn more money. From employer's perspective - @multimick is right.

    OWL Intuition - worth the bother?

    I have a three phase supply in my house in Azerbaijan. The incoming cable from the meter is 4x35mm SWA with a 120A DNO breaker, CU is a Schneider Acti 9 and I have earth rods buried in the garden. I did all the electrical work myself apart from first fix cables in the house, in about 2014...

    13amp multi plug extension?

    When coiled into the reel you have a very large inductor and are trying to pump a lot of current through it. It heats up enough to melt the insulation on the cable. Been there, done that... I would never buy a wind up cable reel since then (about 40 years ago) - although I understand its...

    13amp multi plug extension?

    Some of those multi-plug extensions are only rated at 10A, despite the plug having a 13A fuse.

    Hi and thanks for having me. Can I wire an Au plug to this fan?

    I bought something similar in the UK, it was made in Poland by a company called Dospel. It had no wires - needed hard-wiring into the cable from the switch which was quite fiddly with 1.5mm twin & earth. It was rated 220/230V but IMO these things always have loads of contingency in the...

    Three phases in single domestic kitchen grid box. OK or not?

    Many modern hobs can be connected to two phases of a 3 phase supply, if it helps when balancing the loads. The hob is likely to be the largest power consumer. Give or take, the hob on 2 phases and oven on the third is likely to be fairly balanced in itself, ignoring other appliances.

    What the eye's can't see?

    Happened to me, many years ago. Fortunately not going very fast and we stopped before the wheel came off. To me, if you know that the customer is disabled then the standard of care that you owe that customer becomes much higher.

    What the eye's can't see?

    I work in the oil industry and an electrocution would be a serious incident and the contractor responsible hauled over the coals big time. It would be labelled a HIPO - unplanned HSE incident or near-miss that has the potential severity to cause permanent disability or death

    What the eye's can't see?

    Agree - the near miss would be if she had found it but not been electrocuted

    I have not been paid, what shall I do

    It doesn't have to cost anything if you do some basic research yourself. Go to Companies House service - https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/, input either a company name or the name of anyone that might be a director You will get a list of similar names so might need to dig around to find the...

    UK Fitting new ceramic hob

    Same question was asked for the same hob here: https://www.electriciansforums.net/threads/wiring-for-new-electric-hob-4-wires.169989/ In the 2-phase hobs that I've seen, there is usually a link pin when installed on a single phase connection. Is the manual not clear? Strangely, this model is...

    Plug availability behind built in fridge freezer

    That's quite a big water softener if it needs mains power - there are plenty that run just on mains water pressure. https://www.compasswatersofteners.co.uk/wtaer-softeners/ [the link is right despite typo]

    UK Does anyone use crampets these days?

    Does anyone use crampets these days? I bought 500 to do my house in Azerbaijan about 6-7 years ago, don't think I used any/many. Are they for the bin (in Azerbaijan) or resaleable (in UK)? Or maybe Dan's gift-it-on thread...
