    starter motor help please

    Sorry i think i may have confused the situation - "relay" is a general term in this context. The starter "relay" nowadays is usually located within the starter motor casing, sometimes it can be remote but the clue is the massive cables that must attach to it. The diagram you posted indicates the...

    starter motor help please

    Some multimeters have an audible tone option, if you can ask everyone to be quiet, you may be able to hear it when you turn the switch, just jam the probes in and operate the switch and listen for the tone. Fiddle the switch to see if there is any play. As for the starter, one way or another...

    starter motor help please

    Fortunately there are only a few components that can do what you describe: 1. Ignition Switch (this can be checked with a multimeter on the wiring for the starter (small wire) if you can get to it. 2. All big cable connections : Battery to starter, battery to chassis, engine block to chassis 3...

    SUB MAIN QUESTIONS. ADVICE NEEDED

    Makes Sense, although these were in the UK and well downstream of the DNO head and pretty sure they were not S type but cannot be sure BUT there were no RCDs on the final ccts. It all looked strange to me

    SUB MAIN QUESTIONS. ADVICE NEEDED

    Came across a TP board with a RCD where one would normally find a 60947-3, thought that was odd. Then about a month later found another one, it must have been a thing 20-30 years ago. Think they were MEM boards but cannot be sure.

    SUB MAIN QUESTIONS. ADVICE NEEDED

    Dunno, thats where design comes into play. To expand on the similar install. Although it was TPN in the plant room, because of the length of cable runs and TP loads, I had TPN board in plant room, submain TPN board on first floor, feeding 2 SPN submains also on first floor, TPN board in garage...

    SUB MAIN QUESTIONS. ADVICE NEEDED

    Reminds me of a large house i did, very similar. Used TPN board in plant room and fed all local loads and submains from that board. Submains were C63 MCBs, GSHP C50 from memory. As mentioned one isolator for whole property, easy to expand and does not take up huge space with fused submains...

    Gas bond outside 600mm

    It doesn't really matter what an electrician thinks about gas bonding, any gas engineer arriving on-site will be expecting to find bonding close to the meter, it is in their regs, unlike BS7671, their regs are not negotiable. I have seen bonding run outside of the property if that helps.

    Can I remove switch to leave circuit permanently on?

    I can think of two options, one involves re-wiring the switch, the other is non electrical :)

    New commercial 3P supply questions

    TBH, i am getting quite wild pricing at the moment with a number of installs, typically around the 300-1500KVA mark. I would discuss it with DNO first as you may or may not have capacity on the MV side. Your requirements appear to be wide ranging so this could prove challenging for a paid for...

    High Ze reading fails EICR

    The earth reading is poor and it makes all the individual ccts fail the maximum allowed readings. When i have come across such instances i have aborted the testing until the earth has been corrected. It will need testing again when the earthing system has been improved anyway (ze at least)...

    Fully Charged latest YouTube video fact checking / myth busting electric cars & infrastructure

    Its just the advocates view. Agree many myths are just silly, like brakes and tyres but to say the grid can cope is a little naive, they may well build a power station or two or add a few hundred windfarms but that does nothing for local connections at 400/230V... Local DNOs do appear to be...

    No of panels, wattage of panels, no of strings will also be needed to choose, you can overdrive the inverter a little, Solis have a good range for that size, some are 1 string some are 2. Internet not needed but is used for app for client to view. Setup is via inverter panel.

    Light bar connection for relay - can you help?

    If all else fails, with a very small relay ( so as not to be detected by the power distribution unit (if there is one) you could intercept the 12V +ve going to the blue lamp on the dash and splice into that. If you could get the wiring diagram for the model you have it may show you some other...
