Hi,
I am a design engineer (2 years out of apprenticeship).

There is currently a junction box that houses a 400V supply and a 110V supply with no segregation of the DIN rail terminals. This doesnt seem...
Hi all,
Some background on this question: I am UK-based, and I work with robotics and automation, so have experience with PLC programming, robot programming and installation, certification of robot cells, etc. Something that I have so far not had much exposure to is the design and build of...

Another replacement lighting job - another crappy double insulated white box to grapple with.
Even with luck - there being only one cable at each point, it was still far too much hassle but I have it a go just on principle to give them a chance. Usually I dispose of them immediately and go with...

Hi all, I have an assessment exam question that asks for the design value for a 32A 60898 MCB max Zs. By 'design' value is this the regs tabulated value (working temp) or the lower value 80% for testing in ambient?. With no other information the word design is throwing me as it seems like it...
Hi all, just a quick question for when designing a lighting circuit. I cant remember if you have to add up of all the wattages of the lights in the circuit or its just the same wattage from one light for the whole circuit?
Hi all, I am doing the 104 design project and I'm a bit stuck on the best way to wire the lights in the pool area as the walls and floor are concrete. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Christmas crew, hope you all enjoying yourselfs. Ive been reading a thread on another forum about parallel paths. In certain installations, namely industrial/ some commercial, where the use of metal conduit, SWA, and steel framed building prevails. In such installs there is really is no way to...
For those that have this design project, I figured it would be useful to give an idea of what it may look ok like IRL, so that you have an idea.
