I honestly feel like crying on this one ? I’ll get to bottom of it but it’s now turned into my worst fault I originally put it in top 5 it’s now on top
I will happily thump the consumer unit and the customer ? told them to ring fellow sparks but they’ll be in same boat as me as I’ve spoken to them all. Well the ones I like us sparks do sometimes create a divide you all know what I mean ??
It’s marked as a pme system and all readings come back satisfactory. Also not sure who asked about IR test but I also done that and readings were high in the hundreds so can rule out poor insulation. I’ve contacted DNO they are coming out next week. I’ve supplied customer with LED lamps and...
Yea I think I’m going to have to ring them today and see if they can assist at least then I can rule them in/out I’ve had faults in past where the DNO had loose connection with supply but this particular property is the mid point so it would affect the the properties downstream of the supply...
Its a combination of flickering and dimming it’s honestly a difficult one i would normally find the loose connection say thank you very much and walk out the door this one is no loose connection no faulty mcb no faulty rcd no faulty main switch so I don’t know. I honestly don’t know what the...
I’ve spoken to a few local sparks who I normally assist/fault find for and they are struggling too. Customer is not well off financially but I might end up rewiring the place and paying for it myself just so that the fault won’t beat me ?
I’ve asked the same questions is it when you’re subjecting power whilst shower is on answer no it’s mixer shower. Then my next question “is it when you’re cooking” answer no it only happens every now and then and not whilst we are cooking baffling me
I’ve disconnected and reconnected everything in the consumer unit, I’ve checked the supply voltage whilst there reading 234v I didn’t believe the customer at first but I asked them to record the flickering which they did and the lights do flicker I’ve supplied them with LED lamps (bulbs) but it...
Hi all,
I’m having bit of a problem diagnosing a fault it’s already in my top 5 of hardest faults to find.
I’ll try to simplify lights on one circuit and also lamps plugged into sockets on the ring main sometimes flicker indicating it’s not just lighting circuit. My first hunch is loose...
Wagos are used in abundance with myself especially when the fancy light fitting offers no room for more than 1 cable to terminate and the customer is watching whilst I try to do the right thing and terminate all cables within the light enclosure. I then regroup myself and pop to the van and...
It normally is dependant of the specifications of the install if the design/architect specifies a certain type of wiring then that’s what us electricians install. Without going to my van and getting my blue bible out I’m not 100% sure on the thermal characteristics are of each cable type but...
Had me in tears watching those 2 videos. That’s how not to conduct a video with relation to rectifying and ensuring install is compliant. Leave it to the professionals
