Hi there!
Me and a friend would like to go busking in London. We do have two guitar amps which will be enough for the amount of instruments/mics we will be using. However, the amps still need to be plugged into a socket. Is there any way we could buy a cheap power bank or another kind of...
I live in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. I bought a house. I'm mapping the electric circuits. When I got to the living room outlets I had one 20 amp breaker remaining. I turned it off, the living room outlets stayed live. Replaced the breaker, just in case, no change.
I turned off each breaker, one by...

Hi,
My house is about 30 years old and I have been here for 17 years. Before we arrived, the previous owner had an extension done which included a new dining room.
I now want to use that room to play music, so I have moved a guitar amp and a small PA but when I plug them in, they crackle like...
As you will see from my avatar flag, I have left the country of happy socket-outlets (Denmark) in favour of the East and I'm now in that last bastion of the good old British 5A plug... India. The widespread use of low-rated S/O's (they are typically rated 10A here) means that many small final...
I am a DIY, but not sure if my current problem is DIY solvable given my limited electrical knowledge.
I recently purchased a home that has a 40 amp line that runs to a non-working (always displays fault light) GFCI receptacle in a bathroom and then shares the current with two other bathrooms...
I am looking to add a 240v 50 amp circuit breaker to this panel for a welder. But (in the top left of the pic) is says that it is 40 amp max pole. Am correct to think this means i can only add a 40amp 240 volt circuit breaker?
while doing EICRs i often find this combination, if its clipped direct it dont worry me
however many times i have no idea how the cable is routed
im just wondering how others would code this?
I am not an Electrican but I am buying a new home here in Michigan, and the outside pole to the house I’m wondering if is a 100 or 200 amp service coming from outside, I talked to to electricians in person without them coming out to the house just from the pictures to see if they know the...
I am getting an electrician in to fit a new consumer unit to provide an extra 32 amp cable/supply for a new cooker.
I cant see how the electrician would be able to get a new cable from the garage where the consumer unit is located to the kitchen.
Is it common for electricians to not be able to...
Evening all, apologies if this is in the wrong forum or has been asked before.
I have ordered a new oven thinking I could just plug it in to 13amp socket same as my old one. However I checked today and the oven is 16amp and therefore should have its own dedicated circuit.
I checked the...
I have a range cooker with 1 oven that is electric and runs on a 13amp plug instead of the usual hard wired cooker connection. The original instructions (now mislaid) said that it should be plugged into a 13amp outlet, not an extension. I cannot move the cooker to see the plate to verify the...
Hello
Is it OK to use a 32 amp rcbo on a radial Circuit. Cable size is 6mm2, cable length is about 15 m. There are 4 double plugs on the circuit. Loads are kettle 2.2 kw, washing machine max 2 kw, electric cooker 1 kw.
Cheers
The double 13 amp socket which we use to power the TV and recorder has tripped the RCD. The only change to the wiring was the installation of the new consumer unit about four years ago.
The house was re-wired about 12 years ago.
We are now using a double socket with an extension lead for the...

1000 Watt

Carrying out and EICR on large factory and they have welding plug into 63 amp commando sockets but are protected by 30 amp BS 88 fuses.
Now the regs states Socket outlets with a ratted current not exceeding 32 amp need RCD protection. 411.3.3 (i)
Because the Socket it 63 amp I say it does...
Hi all,
Quick question hope someone can shed some light on.
I have a single coil burner with the following labelled specifications;
1000 Watt
220/230v
50/60hz
It comes fitted with a 13 amp fuse, but after reading a short bit about fuses I got the impression it might be too high.
The...
Hoping to get some advice as i like to understand what work will be carried out and what actually needs doing etc.
Looking at replacing the hob & oven as they are on their way out and in my research I've found out the following.
Oven & hob are both connected to an isolating switch just above...
set up for immersion goes like this for me....
Option 1) 16amp breaker > 2.5mm t&e to 20amp DP isolator > flex from this to immersion.
But how is this set up.....
Option 2). 16amp breaker > 2.5mm t&e to 13amp fcu > flex from this to immersion
Are both fine?
