    Wiring a siren through a timer

    Looking some advice on wiring a siren through a timer to alert everyone to the conveyor belt running. They don't want it to delay the belts starting (stupid idea) they just want it to sound when the belt starts up as it's unguarded. I'm wiring it off a n/o contact on the push button. I'm trying...

    Interlocking conveyors and motors

    I'm going to be learning to interlock conveyors so that one cant start without the preceding one running. For safety purposes. I'm working with a guy that does this all the time and we wont be doing this until next Saturday but he isn't the best at explaining stuff. He knows his stuff and is a...

    Installing a shower.

    Been told we don't have to actually be a member of any body or notify building control in Northern Ireland. All we have to do is notify the DNO of the additional power demand.

    Installing a shower.

    Bungalow converted with a room above the double garage. Had all the work finished and then bang down the stairs. Fair to say they didn't invite me back after that. Think I will go for the easy option and install an MCB in the board and make sure all tests meet requirements. Much appreciated...

    Installing a shower.

    I would feel terrible charging that lol. Hate asking for money from people as well, Ill maybe be conservative and go for £20 an hour. And before anyone comments about notifying the tax office, I don't think it will be applicable for this job. And thanks for the help everyone.

    Installing a shower.

    No theres no other big loads on the board other than the cooker. Has a couple of rings for sockets, lighting and an alarm and the lights in the garage and sockets in the garage. Its well under the demand limits and I could keep it on the existing board without any drama. Im probably over...

    Installing a shower.

    Im a member of NICEIC over here in Northern Ireland. Not sure about notifying the local authority, I usually have all my jobs planned for me and any work in the quarry I just get on with and test when installing new circuits. I record the results and hand into the office at work.

    Installing a shower.

    Seems the most feasible way of doing it. Ive to go back next weekend to install some conduit as the cable is out of the wall and up the inside wall of the garage to the floor level above. Didn't fancy ripping the place apart too much to install a cable through the false ceiling under the stairs...

    Installing a shower.

    The reason for wiring in a new board is so I can connect it up and its a simple switch on when the bathroom fitters have finished. Don't fancy connecting up the neutral and earth in the existing board and leaving them for the fitter to connect up, don't think it would be safe. I'm just trying to...

    Installing a shower.

    Hi guys dont post much but have a hopefully simple enough problem. Not long finished my time at the grand age of 34. Spent the entire time working in a quarry and commercial properties and zero time on domestic installs. Issue is I'm doing a homer for a guy in the quarry and I'm installing a...

    Very high earth loop readings

    Ive now left it in the capable hands of the electric board. 3 weeks ago the readings were above what they should be as per the regs and the remedial work I completed should have made them comply but the readings having changed dramatically I feel ive done everything I could to rectify it. Well I...

    Very high earth loop readings

    Couldn't trace it as it goes onto the farmers land and I reckon a pitch fork and me running very fast would occur. The larger earth goes between the isco and the panel. The smaller earth at the bottom that follows the cables out the gap in the wall is broke, I pulled it out of the earth. The...

    Very high earth loop readings

    I got TN-S from the inspection report and that's why I'm confused about the actual earthing arrangement. There is a bare earth cable coming through the plaster off the wall, not sure whether or not this is the main earth, but it looked too small. The biggest earth I could find is from the banjo...

    Very high earth loop readings

    Was out doing some defect repairs on a system with a few high earth loop readings. I had previously been on site and tested the circuits with the high readings. For one of the circuits I had a reading of 1.28 ohms for a C50 t/p mcb it was rather high. So the idea was to remove the mcb and...

    Ac course or hnd

    Ive just recently complete my HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering as I was working and couldn't do a full time HND course over 2 years. I found it very interesting at times and enjoyed the Maths parts. Plenty of PLC work as well, but I rarely use PLCs so wasn't a great help but well...
