    Electric Boiler Help!!

    On a purely legal side of things I would be questioning the 17.5pkwh of electricity as that's quite expensive. The LL is not allowed to make profit on up selling you electricity. 13ish kWh isn't entirely unreasonable. Do you access to your meter and fuse boards?

    Can you use a single phase motor to create three phase power.

    Car alternator are three phase generators with a full bridge rectification. So you just connect before the diodes.

    It does mean when you have house fire the whole house power can be killed before fire fighters gain entry. There plenty of better more solidly built boxes out there but as usual housebuilders will go with the cheapest possible option

    So How Come A 30ms Rcd Is Supposed To Trip In Ms..

    The reason for them not tripping at lower currents is that no electrical system is prefect and there will allways be some current leakage to earth.

    So How Come A 30ms Rcd Is Supposed To Trip In Ms..

    Did you die? No therefore they did what there meant to and stopped you dieing. It's not there to stop you feeling pain or discomfort it's there to stop enough current flowing though you that could stop your heart beating ie no more than 30mA(depending on RCD rating). Any current flow less than...

    So How Come A 30ms Rcd Is Supposed To Trip In Ms..

    Maybe be a bit more careful remember that an rcd won't protect you against a live neutral electric shock. As other have said it probably that your not quite drawing enough current to begin with to trip the RCD

    Stolen neutral incident London 300+ properties with 400V up the supply

    We still get regular thief's on our subs even on sites with electric fences and remote camera monitoring. Smart water ect doesn't work as there still scrap metal places that will take the copper. Mind you scrap metal places are not as bad as pawn shops for stolen goods handling.

It's just an additional safety precaution in case someone does make a slip up nobody's prefect, although it may have been overly cautious. What's that old saying "if you haven't done anything wrong you haven't done anything"

    3 way switching relay

    3 way switching relay

    As James says PLC or get them to use a different switch. How about three of the kentic types switches and single receiver. But more expensive but no plaster work to fix
