I've seen a few users making a post saying thank you for helpful posts/answers... Instead you should use the Thanks button as it is more convenient and is more appreciated by the person who has helped you (as it shows up on their profile). This obviously applies to the whole forum but I feel...
I have a problem to sort out - it is a TT system with a faulty 80A 10mA RCCB after the meter and before the consumer unit. The board is very old style MCBs with no RCDs present.
The customer called me up because until about 6 weeks ago the front garden lights were causing the RCCB to trip. I...

Hey,
so there have been so many discussions about the Pirate parties in Northern Europe - they mostly say they represent the interests of internet users. E.g. they are for the free use of internet and very popular in Germany at the moment. What do you guys think of them?

Anyone know which makes/brands, if any, have the test button wired between L1 - L2 instead of L1 - N? I'm looking for a four pole RCD to protect a TP circuit without a neutral and still have a functioning test button.
Just had a thanks (very rare, like hens teeth!) and i got to thinking, unless you go back over your posts you never see who thanked you (unlike the "like" button).
Have i just missed where to look or can you not look up who has thanked you?
hi all got a weird fault on a rcd s/o in a shopping centre, the fault is this when a walkie takie is opoerated within the vicinity of the rcd s/o the rcd trips out ( NO JOKE ) any advice on this apart from changing the walkie talkies or replacing the s/o i would really more than anything like...
Looking for one of these. Have found one on ebay, but thought i'd check first to see if anyone has any or knows or anywhere else selling them.

Hi Guys
Don't know if this has been talked about before, so apologies if it has.
Was wondering if it was possible to have more than just a "like" button as sometimes it just does not seem to do justice to some of the comments.
Could we have a "Brilliant" button?
Or maybe a "Laughed out loud"...
Hi Guys
Did a small job in a house - one additional socket. Then did an RCD test - x1 (240 mSec) and x5 failed miserably. did the test a couple more times. Some improvement but still failed. The RCD is an old Wylex WSES 80/2 so replacement means a new CU. Customer asked me to test it again - it...

A friend of mine has a 3phase roller door. Under normal circumstances you press the up button and it opens and continues to go up untill the limiter switch kicks in. When it comes down you have to press and hold the down button. I guess this is for safety reasons.
The up button has stopped...

Hi guys,
Been getting a bit of practice with my new Metrel MI3000.
Most functions are fine, but I'm a little confused by the Z Loop impedance test.
In the book, it shows the Line, Neutral and PE probes being connected to their respective terminals on the board.
When I do this and press test...
Hi just a quick question here, i have to make a small control panel which will have a N/C contactor which will open by the use of a keyswitch to test the batteries of a charging unit. The consultants have asked for a power on indicator from the two supplies operated by the contactor, which is...
