Hi all I've recently fitted a underfloor heating system using heatmiser controls and a Worcester Bosch oil system boiler but I'm a bit unsure as to what connection to make to the boiler. On the heatmiser wiring center I have an in and out boiler enable volt free, and at the boiler I have L N E...
Hi guys not been on in a while.... work work work!!!
Just wondered if anyone has had the opportunity to try the Cat S60 Smartphone and if so how the Thermal Imaging camera compares to the Flir C2 which is what I currently use for my reports, also is it any good as a smart phone...
Hello people,
Not an electrician, but more of a quality controller. I've got to check for the compliance one those horrible neon screwdrivers for a company but I'm pretty stumped.
Some people say they should conform to EN 61010-031 and some say EN 61423-3. RAPEX has many of these listed with...
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some information or diagrams on Delta-Wye transformers. Most diagrams that I have got, give me information for 3 lines to a Delta configuration then on the secondary side you get the Star configuration.
I am really happy with the above concept, I would like to...
I have an on going job at the moment and I am hoping to use this for my certified scheme assessment, just a quick one with the stickers; RCD test quarterly, Periodic inspection and mixed colours (existing installation) Can these be on the underside of the cover that you open for the CB's or do...

Hi,
I've just mouse-proofed a victorian house internally, using steel wool to seal all possible gaps throughout the house.
However I've been advised this can be dangerous as any exposed electrical terminals can ignite steel wool and start it burning. I've tested this myself (9 volt battery and...

Hi, I've been asked if i could disconnect the above and then reconnect it as the pillar it is mounted on is being replaced. Would anyone be able to tell me what is involved as it isn't something I am familiar with? Is it a case of just disconnecting the unit and then reconnecting or is there...
Sitting (or rather squeezing my belly into my tiny CU cupboard ) my NICEIC assessment (to join) next week. My case study is a new 6A radial circuit. It has its own way in the CU.
Do I complete an EIC on the basis that it's a new installation or an EICR on basis that it's connected to an existing...
This is an ongoing job for a customer who lives abroad, he wants the house up to standard for renting in the future. so every now and then I pop around when I have some spare time to work on it, so do other trades.
I had nearly finished rewiring it, but the customer wanted to convert the...
Hello all,
I've recently put a new circuit in a house and when filling out my EIC, I needed to access the service head (attached).
I'm relatively new to this and I'm struggling here.
In order to access ANY part of this, you have to pull the main fuse and I had to cut a few metal tallys off...
Anyone used these yet? Looks like Wiska are having a go at the Wago market. Interesting to know what the score is on the patent or if they are manufacturing under licence.
Got an intercom to sort, the pictures speak for themselves I think. What happened was a dog chewed through the cables and some Jack the lad tried to fix it. The ones with orange conductors haven't been touched. The one with a yellow conductor to the terminal has been touched - that is how it is...
Hi all, what are your thoughts on running new tails from an outdoor recessed meter box,straight through the existing hole into the garage where the CU is situated. Should the hole be enlarged to accommodate some sort or trunking for protection and sealed for fire??? The tails are connected to a...
Hi I am training to become an electrician. I have a problem to solve to work out the size of the CPC. My calculations say I would use 6mm and 1mm CPC. This can't be right, can it?
Please refer to attached document for details.
Hello all,
I'm hoping some clever person can please help me...
I have an electric hoist set up and I would like to have another one to lift at the other end. I don't really want to operate 2 remotes so I want to wire them both into a terminal block and then into 1 remote....
That sounded simple...
