Hi all. Shower has melted on top left corner. I thought it would likely be a loose connections on the feed. On taking the cover off the 10mm coming in and connector block looks fine and is tight and I soon realised the burn Mark is from the live going from the block up to the top of the...
I am in the process of buying a new
Bosch Serie 4 HBS534BS0B.
Total connected load electric: 2.99 KW. AO who I am buying it from state that it can be connected to a 13A socket other seller are saying it is 13 Amp (Requires hardwiring to a fused spur).
There is a 13A socket already there that...
gas engineer can't fit new heating programmer as I need a neutral connection on the back plate. Advised to get an electrician. How much would this cost or would it be better getting a new heating system?
The neon light on my flat-plate/switched fused connection unit doesn't come on when I use the washing machine. The machine still works - but does the fact that the light doesn't come on mean something is wrong? Do I need to get an electrician in?
Howdy - first post and need some advice. Baxi 630 boiler

We had a new boiler fitted a couple of weeks ago by a certified gas engineer. He was a sub of my builder. At the...

Today I found a free standing cooker connected with T&E cable. Since the cooker is bordered by cupboards it is regularly pulled forward about a metre for cleaning the unit and the floor beneath it.
This forward movement extends the cable to full stretch while pushing it back makes it hang in a...
I'm building a seven type car and using a Mitsubishi Galant steering column with light stalk and ignition switch. Lights indicators are all sorted but the ignition has me scratching my head. In the picture obviously wires 3 and 4 are the feeds (both black with silver band). So 5 will be...
Hi all
I have question if i may, i changed the face plates on the neighbours sockets and other kitchen appliances to new chrome ones and it all went well, checked everything no problems now a week later the spur for the under cabinet lights is tripping the RCD, i never had anything to do with...

I’m taking a spur from a ring final.
A fused connection unit will be controlling the spur.
FCU will be mounted on a metal backbox flush in a brick wall.
I’m planning on using a junction box to break into the RFC, and taking the spur cable to the FCU.
My question is, do both cables...
Hi,
The speed controller on my pedestal fan is broken and I thought of bypassing it by connecting the power supply directly to the fan motor. When I opened casing, I found two wires (Blue and Brown) coming in from the plugs end and four wires (Red, Black, Blue and White) coming from the motor...

Was having a look around local caravan dealers today, and as I know lots of you want to know the correct way to run a supply to a static caravan, I thought you might be interested in the attached photo which shows how a professional would do it! Also you also don't need the installation on a...
My kitchen was rewired last year and I had the electrician run a cooker circuit "just in case" as I was using a gas cooker. He terminated it in a double socket. Now I'm redoing my kitchen and would like to fit an induction hob (7.4 kW) and a single electric oven below (2-3 kW).
The double...
Someone is connected to the grid with single phase supply and they have a 4kW PV array directly connected. They want to increase their PV generation, and add another 4kW.
I keep reading that if you generate more than 4kW you need a "3 phase inverter to split the load".
But I can't find out...
Hi all.
Could someone please confirm where to connect a 4-20mA pressure transducer to AI2 in the attached photo. I believe it’s terminals 7 & 8 but the pump is not responding at all.
Thanks.
This is possibly quite simple. I am not an electrician but am good at digging holes, I need electric running to my shed so I can put a freezer in it, how deep should the trench be (I am guessing 2 spits depth) so I can cut the most labour intensive part of the job as much as possible...
