Hi there. I'm building a house and need some help with the LED lighting design. Lots of experience wiring things, some experience using LEDs (did a run of low voltage landscape lights at previous house.) But first time with an LED lighting design this extensive.
This house has a very open...
Hi guys I’m studying from home for level 3 and it’s very hard. Could someone please help me pick which wiring system I should use in the main workshop for the luminairee- and why that system would be best. I have attached the pictures of the information you may need below.
Hi Everyone,
I am currently an Electrician and have been for 10 years now. Going to cut straight to the point...
I am wanting to look down the route of becoming an Electrical Design Engineer. I am aware of the City & Guilds 2396 Course but I am not naïve enough to know that once I get this...
Hi all
I'm doing a kitchen rewire and in kitchen client has also had a new water cylinder installed. It is a Main unvented direct 170L. I have been trying to get through to customer support but is non existent. I have not wired many new circuits for water heaters and am a bit confused with the...
Good morning and a very happy lockdown to all :)
I'm using this tedious 'holiday' to fit a new suspended grid ceiling in my large open workshop.
Here's the provisional lighting plan, using drop-in 600 square LED panels from TLC. I have three existing circuits available (currently feeding 5 x...
In Short: I need help designing a circuit between a receiving induction coil and a battery load.
Longer Explanation:
I am entering a science fair project this year which requires wireless charging of a drone. So far, a have a transmitting coil that takes 12V at 2 amperes and the receiver coil...
Good Morning,
I am a licensed electrician, old school, and I am just now getting actively involved with batteries, inverters etc.
Would anyone like to take a look at this schematic? Is there a better way to connect the charging unit?
I am operating the batteries separate from each other, when...
I'm looking at fitting a commercial garage out.
I plan to put a 4 pole 300MA S TYPE rcd as main switch on a 12 way 3 phase board providing I can get the Ra down low enough, should be fine though, otherwise it'll be a 100ma s type. Socket circuits and maybe lighting circuits will go on 30ma DP...
Hi guys,
Have a job on next week for a friend, my usual industry is maintenance so want to be sure I am checking all the boxes here.
He intially measured the run out at 122m, which would require a 70mm cable due to volt drop, however its changed slightly and I have other queries...
He now...
Hello. It has been a long time since circuit designing for me as I am a simple maintenance person. How do I work out commando plug sizing, for example a machine rated at 32A, plus I have several machine that need moving onto one board, I have there rated current how do I work out board size...
Hi guys , hoping someone can help
I was due to finish the 2365 course in April this year but with 2 weeks to go some virus came along ( you might have heard about it ? )
just back into the training centre and got the last science exam finished off with merit so quite a relief .
unfortunately...
Apologies mods, feel free to move my thread elsewhere, couldn't seem to find anywhere suitable
Wondering if there's any knowledgeable carpenters here. I'm converting my integral garage to a habitable room. Unfortunately I only have 80mm finish floor level, to match with existing ground floor...
Hi everyone!
I am just looking for some advice if you could please, Ill give you a quick run down.
For the past few years I have been working in electrical design as a CAD Technician. Mainly doing lighting calculations, layouts, SLD's and cable calcs etc. Well i have come to a point where my...
Hey new to the forum
And learning to be an electrician.
I have a few questions about voltage drop.
I understand the formula and all that
for example if I had 25 led lights at 24w each spaced evenly over a distance of 65m fed off a type c 10 amp mcb
would the design current (lb) used in...
Hi lads stuck on this question this project is due in a week and I have been offered little guidance through the coronavirus
Circuit= DB 151L2
Calculated demand=0.375A
Diversity Factor= Lighting circuit 75%
Table used for diversity factor= A2
Demand following diversity=0.281A Found this on...
Hi there,
Just hoping something can clear another small item up for me at all.
When designing a circuit and looking at cable length for a Ring Final, would you consider the length used in the R1+R2 formula to be the length of the full ring or just half the ring?
For example, if I have a ring...
