I am thinking about buying a Nest Thermostat, and would like to put it in my hall, where the old honeywell Stat is, but I am not sure if the wiring is compatible. I have attached a photo. Please could someone have a look to see if the Nest can use this wiring.
I have a Viessmann Vitodens 100-W...
Hi there,
I have run a brand new 50ft HDMI cable which is good quality and has built in booster to run from my main sky box which is in another room from the main TV I use. The cable etc is all ok as I have tested it with DVD player and Sky Q box which I took from a neighbour however when I...
Hi guys, can anyone advise if the WRS80/2 (the current version in Lifeline boards) is compatible with earlier Wylex boards from busbar and prong type/spacing perspectives?
I have a feeling that the board which requires a replacement has a busbar which is solid copper with half circles cut out...

Hi Peeps,
Doing an EICR where a shower cable is 6mm2 from the CU to the pull switch then 10mm2 to the shower. Assuming the 6mm cable is rated at 47A then the Wylex 50A MCB fails In<Iz.
It's a 9.5kW Shower so is pulling 41A therefore a 45A MCB would be perfect to meet the demand whilst being...

Hi all. Anyone know were I could get a regulater for a intercom system. The model number is MWS9125.
It was set at 12v . 230v 50hz 54w. Never really dealt with requlaters to be honest. Was wondering if a 12v transformer would do the job. But this said 54 v on it thats all. Any help...
Hi,
I'm looking to create a small solar panel system (80w panel) and am looking at a 10A MPPT controller off ebay which has good reviews. However, it does not specify compatible battery types and I was wondering if an AGM battery of around 35ah would work with it? I searched around just before...
Howdy all,
I need to swap a 30mA RCD out of a Square D garage board, ideally i'm after a main switch but a 100mA would do. I just spoke to a chap at schneider who i had a strong feeling i was keeping awake, and they say that they dont do a main switch compatible with their garage unit!?
So...
Does anybody know if a DeWalt 18V DE9503 2.6Ah NiMH battery would be compatible with the newer Nano drills which take a Lithium ION battery?
May seem a silly question but I have a friend who's bought a DCD925 drill which I think takes a Nano battery which is still yet to arrive though in...
Hi All,
Looking to start out in PAT and make at least some use of recent qualifications. I know it's difficult to find suitable work (where people are prepared to pay to have the job done properly), but in this recession that seems to be the same in all areas of employment, so am trying until...
Just been looking at some metal halide lamps that are made to fit into sodium lowbay fittings. Are they as reliable as using the correct lamp the control gear is designed for?
Never had experience of them before so don't want to advise of using them then find they're no good.:icon11:

I was just wondering if anyone on here is using one and how you find it (I probably should have asked this before buying one ;-))? And, any accessories for...
Hello everyone,
Let me preface by admitting that I'm not a professional electrician. My apologies if I'm intruding, but I didn't know where else to go to answer this question. That being said, I'm curious to know if it's possible to modify/convert an appliance that was before only 110v/60Hz to...
A chance to buy a UK Fluke 6500 PAT tester and a 1652 tester has come up. Waiting for Fluke Aus to get back in touch but just wondering if anyone here knows if those two testers are compatible with New Zealand test regs?

As the title, our new treadmill just turned up and apart from the obvious problem of not being able to get it upstairs I noticed this (image attached) in the instructions.
