It's for a electric griddle pan, it had a US two pin plug which I cut off and thought just wire up with a UK plug but the wires are not colour coded so what should I do?
Or have I messed up? :)
Just asking more for my own curiosity if that's okay. When running say cable when both wires are the same colour sleeve, say dual blue or brown, and there is no power in the circuit yet, how do electricians know which wire is which at each end?!
Thanks and apologies for the possibly annoying...
My FIL wants a cctv system at his house, and normally i would just go with whatever kit was on offer at the time from t'internet.
My own system is a mish mash of a cheap Sannce recorder, an old camera with infra red, another with a light that's on all night, and a hikvision camera which...
My eldest wants some Led tape with a remote to put around her window and around her shelves. She showed me a pack on Amazon for about 15 quid that comes with a remote control/
Is this stuff any good ? (as it seems too cheap)
UK 2022 based regs question.
Hello, I have a new extension and the builders electrician has required much of the house ( not asked for ) and replaced previously working wiring ( installed 2018) with new.

Hi
I have purchased a Hawk alarm and fitted all wires apart from the one central locking wire. I have purchased the Haynes wiring diagrams also but just need an expert to tell me the wire colour please. The wiring diagrams I have bought are attached.
Thanks

I just checked ef this morning and the colour scheme has changed to all very sickly - lots of orange over blue etc.
Appears to have happened overnight - on mobile anyhow, just refreshed the new posts and ewww.

Just doing a mock exam i've got from college and one of the questions is regarding the colour sheathing on MICC cables;
I know that red is ubiquitious with fire alarm systems but don't know about the other colours, as luck would have it GSH has done a few videos recently on MICC and mentions...
Hello Everyone,
Got a small job in the pipe line (fitting 6 down lights), made the mistake of asking the client does she want warm white or cool white. To which she responded she wants them multi colored, controlled from a remote and not her phone. I've came across similar on my travels but...

@Dan perhaps it's just me, but the quotes appearing on a solid orange background seems heavy on the eye. Not sure what others think? Or are you about to unleash a deal on EF branded sunglasses? :D
Hi,
I need some advice please.
Last year I bought some grey H05BN4-F cable for my immersion heater.
It is 24"/61cm from my wall switch to the timer and 29"/74cm to a toolless Junction Box rated 24A. This connects to the immersion heater wire, I can't change this wire. The heater and wire look...
