Bear with me because this is long. So got an intermittent fault on the upstairs lights. Trips the mcb after a few hours, getting a reading of 0.01 mega ohms between live and earth at the board, tested cable going to db from first switch and it’s clear. Tested the cable going from first switch to...
Hi Guys,
I'm currently designing an installation that will be used to configure multiple pieces of electronic equipment such as PC's, Servers, All in ones etc. Its going to be set up in bays such as the picture attached. With it being a full socket installation I was hoping for some guidance if...

Been on and off on this project, they’re all brand new flats and now I’ve come back to carry out EIC tests.
It’s all first fixed in steel conduit and have stud frames with caddy clips on, so naturally been told to earth back boxes. Before I left I mentioned to the QS running...
I have been asked to provide a lighting circuit outdoors for 18 lights on a canopy. The circuit is fed from a toilet block that has a 100A supply to the meter.
The customer has now asked if they can have some extra sockets. They want a 16A commando socket around 60m from the board. They then...
Hi everyone
Is it permissable to connect 2 immersion heaters to one RCBO and supply cable?
I'm installing a water cylinder (which has 2 immersions) in a new utility room, which used to be a kitchen.
I want to repurpose the old cooker supply cable which is 10mm. If it's legal, I want to feed...
I have recently purchased a used three phase oven in good working order. The control circuit is 220 v and is supplied from one of the phases and a neutral direct from the mains board.
I have been advised that for, safety reasons a 440v/220v transformer would have to be installed instead.

I apologize for the repeat. I lost the responses.
I need to remove an outlet in a gfci circuit to remove a cabinet.

Hello All,
I hope that asking this does not annoy too many Members who think that the answer should be obvious to me:
Last night at my next door neighbour`s house who is away on holiday for the next 12 days one of his external halogen PIR controlled lights above the front door came on and...
Dodge Ram 1500 Gen 4 rear lights conversion (CAD import); Problem. When I brake my rear brake light come on but so do my indicator lights (they don't flash at this time). So I have a wire along it travels a brake signal and a turn signal, when either of those functions are operated. This wire...
I have a question i hope someone can just give me a little clarification on .
When carrying out preliminary cable design for a given circuit we use this formula = ( milliohms per metre x Length x multiplier Factor for maximum operating temperature ).
Do we still need to use the the maximum...
I have just turned up at my parent house and they've tried to replace the old pir sensor but now the floodlight is on 24/7.
I've no multimeter and no idea which is switchedlive. can I just take out one of the live feeds and put it in Lout, and if it's still on 24/7 try the other live instead...
Hi, Can 2 double ovens both 6.3kw (12.6kw combined) go onto an existing circuit which is 10mm2 t&e, 45a DP switch, 10m length into a 32a MCB at CU?
Haven’t employed an electrician yet to be able to calculate and want to buy the 2 ovens with our new kitchen on the finance. Really hoping one of...
H5 relating to an immersion heating over 15 litres of water says:
Should be supplied by their own separate circuit.
No mention of sub circuits, nothing. A final ring with 13A mcb off the ring, then a 20A switched-cord outlet connection unit complies. It then has its own separate circuit. A...
Ok, please be aware that I am a 'do-it-yourself-er,' so if this isn't the right place to be posting this thread, let me know where I should be posting it.
The other day, my wife plugged in the vacuum cleaner and the whole living room circuit went dead. I figured that it was just either a...

Why is there now two pages, one for "GENERIC SCHEDULE OF CIRCUIT DETAILS" and one for "GENERIC SCHEDULE OF TEST RESULTS" before it was all on the same page GENERIC SCHEDULE OF TEST RESULTS", which had "CIRCUIT DETAILS", on it, this means writing the cicuits twice?
Hi,
I had an EICR done and it failed on one item which was a C2 and that was in our utility room. From what I was told there is an open circuit and no continuity. It took a long while but after questions asked, it was ascertained that the previous owner had an old boiler in the utility room...
