My house has a PME earth system. The gas pipe in the garage has a 6mm earth wire already but I've been told this should be changed to 10mm.I'm having an EV charging point fitted externally which required an earth rod to be installed (32ohms impedance measured)-PME cannot be used with an external...
Hi.
I'm pricing up a job. I need to run bell wire up the outside of a newly rendered and externally insulated house. Never touched this before and I'm worried the clips won't fix in securely or will damage it. Is this the case? Any one got any experience /tips?
Thanks.

Hi, I'm obviously new. I'm looking at buying a fluke 1663 but am concerned that when the new 18th edition comes in it will be obsolete. Would I be better off buying a used 1653b, + calibration, and then a new mf tester when the new regs come in?
If this has been covered then please feel free to...

I am concerned that the attached night storage heater may contain asbestos, would anyone know 100% based on the attached picture of the model and serial number? I've checked the lists posted online and it looks like it isn't listed but it's a bit confusing as there are so many listed

Hi everyone,
Just bought a new Permanent Magnet Alternater with up to 36V DC output. Tried to turn the shaft by hand, won't budge. Wonder if it has to be connect to a battery first. Any one come across PMA (for wind turbine) before? Cheers
My UK fridge of 5 yrs stopped working. I was told the fridge had blown a fuse so I replaced it myself with a 13A fuse. The fridge started working again from a different socket but when I connected the plug back to the original socket per the photo attached it doesn’t work. Seems like something...

Had a chance call-in this afternoon at one of my customers, and while there he asked me if I knew any TV guys. It's not something I do, but asked him what the problem was and he said one of the sets was intermittent in getting signal, but all others in the house were fine. So I had a quick...
Hi all,
Long time.
I was wondering if anyone on here knows of any combo unit that is an inverter from 12v - 230v that is rated at 600W continuous BUT has a battery attached as part of it.
I suspect such a thing doesn't exist at this rating having done some searching already as you'd need a...
We had noticed that our supply was going to be switched to a generator today. Indeed it happened - this is now installed at the bottom of the street. Can you guess what time it was attached? SolarEdge inverter seems happy enough, although it hasn't been very sunny today.
The owner has had a 'lean to' build of bricks/blocks and wants a couple of sockets and a light installed.
There is a supply, to the existing detached garage which is due for removal, and I can use its way in the CU for the above.
There are no extraneous conductive parts in the new (permanent)...

Can the power company temporarily shut off the power?
Hi
Had a call out to a customer yesterday who'd had a cooker delivered from John Lewis, but the sparky had refused to connect it as the supply was 32A on a 4mm cable. Manufacturer instructions specify 6mm cable but don't give rating of appliance, and it's not on the data plate, but manufacturer...
