    Electrial Rf interference, theory and practice of using Ferrite Ring Cores 'choke'

    I appreciate that @mark641 asked how ferrite cores work here, answered by @Lucien Nunes , but TBH, it is at a deeper level than I need. My question is more so in regard to the practical use of them. I (unfortunately) bought a Road Angel Halo Pro dashcam ...I bet you can already guess the...

    SWA to shed - are two cores enough?

    Hi, Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong forum. I tried to post to 'Electrical Advice' as a DIYer but had issues. I'm laying SWA (about 40m of 10mm2 as advised by a pro) to a new workshop building that will have its own CU, circuit and ground spike. I want to do the donkey work and lay...

    Ferrite cores, how do they work?

    My understanding of the theory is: Some devices (e.g.motors) generate harmonic frequency currents & radio interference. Add a ferrite core: the oscillating current generates magnetic flux; ditto eddy currents; ditto heat. So the core will absorb energy from the wire, if correctly designed it...

    CCTV > Router Cat 5/6 solid copper cores

    Hi Guys, I have asked this question before in another thread that I was following, but can't find it. I've installed a CCTV system. What I'm after is a 10m x suitable Cat 5 or 6 cable complete with plug ends fitted. I believe it was suggested that copper solid 8 core cables are better. The cable...

    Sleeving Brn-Blk-Gry cores for SP. Is there a convention?

    If using 3-core SWA Brown/Black/Grey for a single-phase circuit, what colours do you use? I leave the brown as live, then sleeve the black with blue for N and the grey with grn/yel for E. It's arbitrary, but was wondering if there's an informal convention, and if maybe I've been 'doing it...

    RJ45 - 3 damaged cores

    Hi. I have a customer with a cat6 from his house to a workshop on his land further up. Most of the run is underground, and the pipe is fair tight. 3 of the cores are damaged at some point and he's reluctant to pull a new cable in if he can avoid it since its a massive run, although I have...

    Extending cat 5 cable or telephone cable and maintenance free requirements?

    I was wondering if the maintenance free requirements (MF) are the same with communication cable as with low voltage supplies? I can't see why they wouldn't be. The junction boxes for cat 5 cable or telephone cable where you just use the insertion tool have no screws that could come loose but I...

    Garden Lights + Power ... Which SWA Cable / How Many Cores?

    I need to supply power to a couple of garden lights and a 13A socket in a longish garden. The requirements I've been given so far are a bit vague - the socket needs to go at the end of the garden, the lights will probably go somewhere along the side of the garden, and I'm assuming that they...

    I need to use a 3 phase cable that is connected at the incoming end and supplies a 3 phase board that is to be removed. My question is, is it ok to use the 3 phase incomer isolator but just remove 2 of the phases that feed it (black grey) and just use the brown and blue cores to supply the...
