    Average price for an EICR? Another poll! Please read post before voting.

    I'm going a bit poll crazy at the moment. I love polls! This one is just a bit of fun. It's obviously very inaccurate and there will be many variations on price, but... Lets just ask 'What price would you charge for an EICR on an average 2-3 bed house'? No outbuildings, one consumer unit (10...

    Yet another newbie

    Experienced DIYer, rewired two houses (and certified by qualified electrician) way back in the day when you could do that. Electronics I'm comfortable with - plumbing I hate! (Why? Because if you get something wrong with electrics it goes "pop" and you know about it; a plumbing fault...

    DPDT switching branch circuit from one breaker to another?

    I’m planning a 240V welder circuit in a detached garage with a 100A sub panel. For the 160A or 180A output welders I’m looking at, the conductor can be #10, and a 30A breaker is probably OK, but a 40 would help the duty cycle. Conductor must handle welder's 1eff rating, breaker can be up to...

    CPC break - share another?

    Hi! DIYer here. I have an MCB running to a cooker isolator switch. The RCD connected to this set of MCBs is tripping and isolating the cooker MCB is the only way to stop it. So, clearly a fault on this line. I‘ve disconnected the cooker and the same fault exists. I’ve tested the cable for...

    Can you feed a consumer unit from another consumer unit?

    Can you feed a consumer unit from another consumer unit, It would be supplied by a non RDC protected MCB. Is this allowed as I have always seen switched fuse disconnection units.

    Dehumidifier trips breakers on one panel but not another

    Hi everyone. I have a basement that was finished years ago. The basement is on a separate panel than the rest of the house. For years I've had several dehumidifiers die various deaths in my basement. I thought it was just bad luck, but now I'm not so sure. My latest dehumidifier started tripping...

    How many phases? And another Lucien grumble: 'Amps Per Phase'

    When I joined this forum a decade or so back, there was a discussion going on about a welder that was connected with a 3-core cable to L1, L2 and earth of a 3-phase supply, operating on the 400V present between L1 and L2. The advantage of choosing 400V is the reduced current requirement. My own...
