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.
Rooms will have Thier own board.
Cb as main switch, RCD to protect sockets, several radials split over the room, lights (see below) and an MCB for Air...
Hi folks. I’m looking to do an online CAD course and was wondering if anyone has any real world experience of doing one. I believe there are a lot of resources on the ‘tube but would quite like the structure of an organised course. I’m proficient with a PC but haven’t used any CAD programmes...
Hi guys, I am interested to buy BS 62305 (a standard for lightning design and assessment calculation for building). How can I get it and what will be the price. Thanks
Hi,
I've got to put in an additional consumer unit into quite a large property and rather than daisy chaining them back to a single MCB in the main board which is RCD protected, I wondered if this a better solution: The property is served by TNC-S with an isolator switch.
Connect new tails into...
I've searched the forum for this and found a couple of people have asked the same question.
I have been working on the Level 3 design project for some time now, and I keep spotting mistakes, starting again and basically getting nowhere fast! It says it should take around 20 hours, and no...
Hi Guys,
I'm doing my Level 3 C&G design project and just have a few design related queries which i am so far struggling to find clarity on either in the text books/guides or online.
- Main issue is circuit lengths for lighting for calculation volt drop and ZS:

Was out at my mechanic today
Hes.got this huge open area to the front of the garage
Access to the garage is by a side entrance and round the back. A lot of manouvering and assistance required at times to get in and out .Go figure.
I've been caught out so many times by rushing into jobs...
I've completed it all in rough, but before I go ahead and mark up the finished product, I just wanted to check a couple of things if anyone is currently doing it or remembers doing it..

Hi all,
This is my first time posting something on this forum. I'm busy putting together a design for some LED lights that are going to be mounted on some columns along a pathway. The supply will run twenty odd metres to an enclosure on the outside of the building that will encase the...
HI Folks.
This is my first post so apologies if it's in the wrong location.
I recently installed a 3kw Solar system with an iboost diverter which diverts electrical power to the dual elements (3kw and 2kw) on the water cylinder when there is an excess of power.
I recently discovered that a...
Good morning I wonder if I could have some confirmation in regards to a radial circuit.
I have been showing apprentices different methods if wiring ring and radial circuits.
I wish to continue this next week.
I can not see any regulation not permitting the drawing enclosed, I would just like...
They can double as a heat gun at the back while you're frying your chips
Now I appreciate they will have a warning in the manual probably to keep them 300 away from anything but most people won't take any notice
Hi everyone
So I'm just starting my 2365 design project relating to a hotel extension and pool/cafe area, has anyone recently completed this assignment? Any advice would be great!
A little protip for my fellow students/trainees; When you get your design project and the absolutely gorgeous (no really) A3 drawings for the project(s) - DO NOT DRAW ON THE A3 ORIGINAL.
Think about it, you have anywhere from 5-10+ circuits to draw in, each with its own path, possibly sharing...
