Evening guys, I`m working on a small industrial unit at the moment. Most of my work is domestic and have not come across this before when doing commercial or industrial. The main supply is coming up through the floor and into the main 3 phase service head......along with this is what I would say...
I believe he has a couple of manual start Honda jennies but tells me he intends getting an 11 ish kW diesel in near future. He is concerned about outages in future. He has asked me to keep it all manual at this stage. What I need to know: is a manual changeover switch all I need between jennie...
I agree with what you are saying Dave, its for sure bad practice but from a technical point of view that 1,5mm supply to fused spur is inaccessible so no chance of to many amps being pulled through it.
Hi guys, A customer of mine wants me to organise for him to be able to (when he has a power cut) start his manual generator in his basement so he can run some essentials during outage. He wants it to be all manually done and kept as simple as possible. Never done this before but I would expect...
evening guys, ive come across lighting in one room of domestic premises that has been supplied from the ring main at some point. the cable coming from the ring is 1,5mm which goes through the switch then on to the 2 x 12V down lights. This is on an EICR I`m doing. There is no chance at all of...
Got the remedial's Tel, have turned off all other circuits so not picking up any impedance Murdoch other than on its own circuit, which would surely mean that if you run in a new lighting circuit and don't connect the earth to the met then you would get voltage on the earth.
Morning guys, I'm doing an EICR. I'm coming across a lot of problems in this house. Anybody got any ides why I'm getting 35V on a number of earths at switches and fittings. I've come across this by doing an R2 wander lead test throughout the house as everything is chrome. The earths in question...
Evening Guys, got a house to do an EICR on and there is no access to the 3 plating/transformers on 12V downlights in 4 different rooms. Everything looks nice and pretty and shiny but its all been boxed in. the cut out diameters are to small to pull the transformers down so am unable to take any...
Evening guys, I'm checking a lot of EM lighting for a client, that they have informed me are not working. They are non-maintained and are recessed down lighters with a PL 26W CFL. I only scratched the surface this afternoon. The two I checked today appear to be the EM lighting module which is an...
That's great guys, I needed to make sure they were dimmable and the colour is not an issue as long as they are not the cool white the customer will be happy.
Hi Guys, has anyone used the LAP LED GU10`s from electricfix code: 98376. They are the dimmable ones. I`m thinking of installing them for a client on Tuesday due to the cost. What you think? one of the reviewers on the site said they don't dim but they are marketed as dimmable. I need them to...
