    I have an outdoor electrical subpanel with a nearby outlet. We've plugged an extension cord with a built-in GFCI into it , but the GFCI trips every time, with any device plugged in. When we plug the same GFCI/device into a different outlet near the house, it works fine. We've replaced the...

    Let’s have another think

    This electrical game is getting worse,in so many ways. Wholesalers are giving us Split Db’s Rcd controlled, & these maybe obsolete soon. Any DB with a Rcd AC type will not perform in the tripping time required if ... electronic equipment is being used. How come they have just only found out...

    Can I piggy back a bath fan light onto another bath light fixture?

    My problem is this: I have 2 sets of Romex 14/3 in my bathroom - one going to a light fixture, and one going to a bath fan unit (both set into the attic space). I am replacing the fan unit with another that has an integrated light (which we sorely need - the existing light fixture is poorly...
