    Upstairs flat cutout

    Your thoughts please. Upstairs flat. This is supply side. It disappears through an air brick, and possibly goes to a shed downstairs but I've been there during daylight hours yet. There's a DNO-looking earth running with it. (The 1.5mm comes from the CU). Obviously whatever it feeds is...

    UK WT Henley series 4 cutout

    Hi there, I recently had a home rewiring and the electrician spotted we had no earth. It's an old house and it was never added by previous owners. He installed a WT Henley series 4 cutout device for the time being as it was a more cost effective solution. He's wired it up and now the property...

    WT Henley Series 8 house service cutout

    Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could advise me on the WT Henley Series 8 house service cutout. I have one of these installed at my house and it has 3 live fuses. I am looking to turn my house into 3 separate flats all with their own electric meter. My current WT Henley Series 8 house...

    Whats going on with this cutout?

    Looks very strange to me. Obviously had a new fuse carrier fitted to it at one point but the two cables on the left go to the meter as normal (L&N) but the third cable going to that uninsulated block is the L output from the meter and the red tail going sideways is going to the DNO isolator...

    How easy is it to blow the DNO's cutout?

    I've been volunteering at my local village hall, installing audio and light systems. Converting what was originally an underused sports hall into a venue for bands and theatrical events. As with most of my projects, it has got out of hand and I've now reached a load schedule of 56A for my...

    Meter installer won't work on my supply

    Hi all -- full disclosure I am a 'DIY-er' but wanted to post here for greater visibility seeing as I certainly won't be doing this work myself... I'm in the early stages of getting my house rewired (estimates) and during one initial visit, the electrician pointed out that I would need a way to...

    Solar i boost taking out thermal cutout

    Hi all. Has anybody experience solar iboost creating problems with immersion heater safety cut out? Does the iboost somehow heat the tank higher than the thermostat or does it have something to do with the iboost heating via DC.

    UK Main cutout fuse upgrade advice

    I'm having an extension built and the builder leading the project has said that the electrician will be over in about 4-6 weeks to start his works (wiring for a kitchen dining space, movie room, utility, wc and hallway). I'm trying to plan ahead and have just finished researching EV charging...

    Is this a fused neutral cutout?

    I’ve not seen one of these before and i have a memory of them needing to be upgraded by the DNO. Just wondering as well what the BSEN is for it. Is it 1361 or 88-3

    Thoughts on this cut-out

    Just wondered what others think about this one. From my pov at least incoming meter tails need changing. Single insulated and probably under sized.

    High power manually-reset thermal cutout solution

    Hi I am trying to create a thermal cutout circuit to protect a large (10sqm) silicone heat pad table. The total heat pad load is around 30A (split between seven 1kW heat pads), running off a single phase 32A supply. The heaters are controlled with Eurotherms and SSRs, which fail in the closed...

    Connecting domestic sub-main to REC cutout

    Been retired for a number of years and not kept up with the industry hence I'm well rusty, so apologies for that. I recently moved home and found that the sub-main cable (10mm x 3 core SWA) feeding the garage/outbuilding is connected to the electricity boards meter & service fuse (cutout) via...

    Immersion thermostat with separate cutout

    Have just got back from a call out, where the clients' immersion had stopped working. The problem is the separate thermal safety cutout has failed open circuit, and cannot be reset. It is very similar to the setup in this youtube vid: I would like to replace the thermostat with one with an...

    Hob with 475mm depth cutout

    Anyone know a decent online retailer that actually lists their hobs by recess dimensions (or even lists them at all in some cases?) Side rant - why do a lot of appliance websites tell you all the information except the bits an installer might actually want to know, like recess dimensions or...

    FGS Storad Storage Heater cutout replacement

    Any one with experience of the FGS Storad heater range and model numbers (installed in a flat built 1993ish I believe). Apart from FGS Storad there is no data plate or model number that I can find. I've been called out a couple of times by the landlord for tenants for one of the heaters in the...

    63mm cutout cabinet lights.

    Anyone? I normally use sycamore Sirius which are great but they’re too small for an upcoming retrofit job. Need to be good quality 4000k. Around 2-3 watt ideally.
