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...
Hi,
I am after some advice . I am an approved electrician . Nvq3, 2391 etc. Just looking in to doing a course in electrical design . I have looked at the level 4 design course , would this be a good place to start. Or, is there a better course ? Even if it takes a few years etc . Has anyone...
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

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...
Can anyone recommend a decent Cable Design Software package?
I have worked out a recent calculation on paper, now I would like to confirm my findings with software.
Its an existing run of 2X 120mm 3C Al SWA to feed a 185 Kw motor......….
My calcs tell me disconnection time in 5 seconds will...
