I was on the Wirral so my gaffer asked if I could swing by a pub as the landlord doesn't think the water tank is properly supported.
So I goes into the abandoned flat and ogle the surface conduit, bakerlite switches and wooden pattresses.
Then remembered the water tank.
Stuck my head...
Today I got a note by postcard from SSE saying:
"We recently contacted you about your new smart meter, which can be delivered and installed for you from 10 May"
Now I am not aware of being contacted, certainly not by phone, so it seems a bit disingenuous to tell me this. Also I have a fairly...
Just been to another one of those !!
Plumber replaces shower for upgraded version. 40A mcb replaces 32A. No problem mate !! that will work fine.
So 12 months later the owners girlfriend moves in with him.

For the last few weeks, my iboost seems to completely switch off and even if you push any of the buttons or turn the switch to the mains on or off, it does not work. And then suddenly, out of the blue it starts working again. If it works during daylight, it will start to heat the water properly...
A circuit in my house quit working when a toaster oven and portable electric heater where both running on it. Normally the simple fix would be resetting the tripped breaker. However, the breaker did not appear to be tripped. I turned it off and on just to make sure and still no luck. Next...

Welcome to Electricians Forums, again? But this time the .co.uk, again?[/]
Okay, so we’ve had some confusing changes over the years. Usually just smilies on the forum changing. Or the automatic post merging system that wound up a few dozen big burly blokes and some even burlier women also. Our...
I've been messing with the forums again. So some things might look different here and there.
Mainly, the forum homepage layout has had the "Latest Post" and the Statistics columns removed.
Reason being most users now view the forum on a mobile, so it looked too busy really for the amount of...
I changed 3 x 125A fuses for 3 x 125A D type MCBs (ABB). They held for a day and then two started tripping, we didn't have any spare 125A, so we fitted 100A C type and the issue has disappeared, can anyone shed any light on this for me please?
Looking at Fig 3A4 Type B 60898 unless I'm getting it wrong once we In*5 our device there is no way of telling if our disconnection is 10s or 0.1s unless im missing something although this seems quite important??? as our Disconnection time needs to be at least 0.4 seconds and for doing our...
Morning all,
Apologies for the delay in posting this. I've moved house and we had to wait for the internet to get connected from VM as nobody in the property had it before, and they needed to dig up some street for us (at our cost the lovely bar stewards).
I realise the ads have been crazy...
Long story short, I tried to replace my existing 3 way switch with a new 3 way switch, but I had to pretty much take everything out and my attempt at putting everything back as it was failed because now the ceiling lights controlled by the new switch don't work. The other 3 way switch is located...
As I've said before, I'm not a qualified electrician but have worked as a mate a few times. I'm retired now and as a hobby I study all things electrical (domestic). I know this has been asked before on this forum but as an amateur I still can't understand how the wiring for "borrowed neutrals"...
Hi Folks
I've been trying to work out whether a doorbell will work with approximately 16m run of bell wire. I've tried to find out volt drop, resistance (to calculate volt drop), or even CSA of typical bell wire. But no luck. I tested an approx. 3m length with my MFT and got 0.87 Ohms. That...

Checkout the September jobs on TilersForums.com. Had 10 entries for the first month it has been back in around 10 months. That's not bad to be fair. :)
So, for those who don't know, this is where a tiler will whack pictures of his job in a thread, and...
I'm trying to show ads on a usergroup basis. So unregistered see most, registered less, arms even less, staff nearly none, subscribed none at all.
Google has setup auto-ads for plebs who don't know what they're doing (or because they just want MAX ads everywhere - even though they've literally...
