    Best clamp meter to get started?

    Hello, Personally i would suggest focus on an earth leakage clamp as I think this is more useful that a general clamp meter. Unless you have a specific job in mind that's what I would do with a limited budget

    Fixing storage heater

    Should be ok if the plasterboard is in good condition. Just make sure you have the fixings at the bottom of the slotted holes on the heater. That way as the heater settles and drops down the fixing will move up along the hole rather than pull out from the wall. If you are really worried cut the...

    Extractor Vent With Fly Screen

    Hello, Is it just me or is it harder to find external vents for extractor fans that come with fly screens? What has changed, is there some building regulation I am not aware off. The thought if a bare louvred grill just seems to be asking for bugs and creatures to come in.

    120mm to 25mm connection

    Is the 2 cables in the connector blocks the thermal OL

    I wouldnt call that the thermal overload, I would thnk that is a thermistor which detects the internal temperature of the motor. The resistance between the connection changes with the temperature, its not open or closed. For this to stop the motor it would need to be connected to a specific...

    A little help starting my own company

    UPS's tripping RCD

    I would recommend looking st how many ups’s you need s others have said. I would also agree that an RCBO would be an improvement but dont think it will sort the problem. As all the ups’s are probably on the one circuit so you would still be tripping that one circuit but not the bulk of the...

    Transformer from socket wire to trickle-charge Ring Doorbell - Is this safe?

    It should really go from the socket to a fused connection unit then the transformer on the load side of this. So long as the transformer is secure in the enclosure I would say its ok if there is no damage. In an ideal world the enclosure would have a cover as I don’t know if that...

    Extending cables for a new board change
