    Odd issue with TV turning OFF when another device is turned ON.

    Now you have to work out if it is the outlet or the television ? Leave the tv where it is and plug it into an extention lead, Then run power from another circuit see what happens. And plug a lamp into the outlet, watch it and see if it blips out.

    solar pannel nickel-iron system question!?

    For 10kw daily usage, you divide 10,000/400, you need 25 panels thats ignoring losses

    High Earth current flowing

    a bad/poor neutral somewhere, forcing the neutral currents to find other return paths, in this case the earth circuit. check and double check all neutral and earth connecttions.

    solar pannel nickel-iron system question!?

    You need to looka at it from the KWH perspective, not just KW. If you take , lets say 20ah out of the batterys then you need to put that back in How long it takes depends on the current and the time so 2A over 10 hours = 20AH OR 10A over two hours = 20AH

    Resistance in a Volt meter

    QUOTE - 2. the "potential difference (difference in potential?) in the current in the neutral wire between the two leads of the voltmeter is zero". The second statement is equally as preposterous ! A little knowledge is a dangerous thing And he is teaching his nonsense to others !

    UK LED light help please :)

    doubtfull, unless the fitting gets really hot, then I would not worry electrical cables are rated for 75 degree celcius

    Supply to apartments

    you have not yet mentioned the amp capacity of the units or the supply, But if you dont use the buss in the panel, instead hard wiring, this would allow greater amperage and the flexability to loop off for the meters. Not sure what you mean "selectivity"

    Integrating Generator with Solar PV System

    Nearly all invertors have an "anti-islanding" feature to prevent this from happening, the minute the invertor senses the grid is not present ( when the generator kicks in ) then the invertor will shut down to prevent any problems, as far as I know such features are usually manditory.

    nicely fried - 9.5kw shower, not certificates for the job

    So what caused the failure ? 6mm cable should handle 9.5Kw what was the capacity of the switch ? Or was it just loose connections No test certs did not cause the failure neither did rcd's was it wrong size / type switch ? What did the customer say to the cost of doing it right ? we want details !

    power windows

    What type of motor is it ? it is most likeky a universal motor if it is used on DC What does the kit say about the motor controller ? does it say suitable for universal motors ?

    power windows

    Using a simple method like reducing the current usually using resistors will bring with it problems, youi may get the speed down but power also goes dow with it, so you end up with the correct speed but no grunt, so you have to use proper motor speed controllers as they are designed to reduce...

    solar cable

    What are they using for cable from the panels to the invertors, Is there a cable specifically made for DC Or do you just use 2.5mm TPR ?

    Is there any asbestos in meter boxes?

    without seeing the box's we cannot say for sure, but YES ! many of the older box's had asbestos in them. It's usually safe to work on them, but if your drilling holes ? then use a vacuum to suck up the dust. Whilst it just requires a little comon sense your not gunna fall down dead at the first...

    Solarplicity have gone into administration

    Their is potenually good money to be made by electricians being called in to fix up sub standard instals, cause many fail long before they should.
