    Electricians Vans, any of you have electric vans? How good are they now?

    I'd be interested to know how much cheaper they work out in real life scenarios after you pay for charging and aslo pay more for the vehicle in the first place.

    Back from the Desert

    I think it was simply Manda but I might be wrong, it's been a long time and my memory is.... hmmm.

    Back from the Desert

    Hi Manda, sorry to hear about your health issues but great to see you again. Wasn't Maddo Paul M's nickname? I haven't seen him around for many years unfortunately.

    Anybody recognise this logo?

    That logo might be the company that bought it, not the manufacturer. It was common practice for big customers like power companies or the GPO for example to get items that might have been altered slightly to suit their needs and with their logo on it. The logo might also be as you say from an...

    True story. This is my lounge with some vintage tester ornaments below the TV.

    Anybody recognise this logo?

    Those vintage UK panel mount volt meters all looked very similar. That rough pebbledash finish makes me think it might be a Weir but that's just a guess. I've never seen a voltmeter with such a short needle, I think the end of it might have broken off.

    Electrical Layout diagrams

    Just to add to my previous post Libre Office which is a free version of MS Office also has a copy version of Visio in it. I haven't personally used their version but I have used LibreOffice on some of my PC's and it works great.

    IP66 outlet sockets in garden area

    I'M not sure if you're allowed to spur 4 sockets off an existing ring circuit, I'm not familiar with the UK regs. What are the sockets for? Why so many in close proximity? I do know this work would be notifiable by law and would need to be tested and signed if off by a qualified person or you...

    Where do these parts go?

    That switch is an 'all in one' monoblock type construction, it's not like some switches where you get a separate fascia plate and grid frame and you can fit a variety of switch modules into it and fit different styles of fascia plates to the front.

    Where do these parts go?

    Yeah, as per westward, replace it because there's usually other small pieces like a spring as well as those brass contacts you've shown and they're not going to go back together. They're not meant to be dismantled and reassembled.

    What is it called IR testing?

    Yes for fault finding and troubleshooting which is the majority of my work analogue is always my first choice. The only time I would use one of those newfandangled MFT's (if I owned one) would be for EICR testing where you need a raft of test results recorded and entered onto paperwork.

    What is it called IR testing?

    I'm not sure exactly how they're connected but Kyoritsu is a Japanese manufacturer of very good test equipment and their testers are rebadged as Kewtech in some parts of the world. One of my other favourite tester brands is Brymen and they are rebadged as Hellerman Tyton as well sometimes.

    What is it called IR testing?

    My kyoritsu (kewtech) analogue insulation tester that I use as my daily driver has a locking test button and no delay or timer and they're still available brand new. KEW 3124A - https://www.kew-ltd.co.jp/en/products/detail/01122/. Maybe in the UK it's a requirement for them to be idiot-proof...

    replacing a dimmer light switch with a regular one

    Can you use a wire nut on a single wire? Does it grip with only one conductor?

    Unreasonably high invoice bill from an electrician

    You state your location as London. Labour rates are very high there and there's also often parking and other vehicle surcharges so I'd be expecting a hefty labour amount. If his brief was to replace bulbs and get the lights all working that may have involved some fault finding and some fittings...

    Ali-express DY4100 Digital Earth Tester

    The AliExpress tester is well within 10% of the Metrel loop reading which actually isn't bad for that type of test. Also please remove the plastic screen protector off the Metrel, it's going to give me sleepless nights.

    Green/yellow would have been Springbok colours... I'm a bit disappointed she went for All Blacks instead. Great to see you around, you had me worried for a while.
