I’m looking for information to buy your build an affordable device to monitor and control 1000a DC current from an automotive battery or other sources for electroplating.
This MCCB is in a distribution board in the consumer half of a substation at a school
We've now tested everything downstream of this (and another 2 similar devices).
My current understanding is that the maximum PSSC to operate this device a maximum of 3 times is 50% of the Icu, so 12.5kA ...
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
We have a waste water pump in our first floor flat. The water pump failed and stopped draining water from the shower. We noticed too late and the water draining through the ceiling in to the property below.
Is there a device or something we can do to know...
Hi, thanks for reading this.
Ive been asked to look at a job where the DNO connection (single phase 80A TT) is a long run to the final circuits. Small feeder box has been installed and the volt drop dictates 95mm cables are needed to take to another feederbox where the feeds into the building...
Hi, I’m interested to hear other views on BS3871 MCBs being changed following a C2 non compliance on an EICR for over rated protective device. Eg. A 2.5mm radial circuit protected by a 32A device and then swapping the BS3871 for another BS 3871 but a 20A device.
Hi,
Bought a MainsSwitch device to run the RF pairing link to switch some low voltage LED strip lighting under my Breakfast bar. No direct switch link option where I need it and I’ve installed the transmitter & receiver kit.
It starts off for the first 30-60 mins working then it loses the...
Hi
I always thought installations were safe at the time of instalment etc, the Distribution Boards at my works were installed over ten years back.
Our company just had its EICR done. The tester gave us a C2 for a number of DB’s which don’t have Surge Protection Device installed, these DBs with...

I have built a portable lighting game, and need advice on what safety testing would be needed for it to be used legally by private clients.
In effect it is an enclosure with 10 sockets (only 5 connected, to 5 separate bulbs, connected to a switch), and 20 tails (only 5 connected to power). The...
if my brand new fridge is connected to a circuit with an ARC Fault breaker, and if the circuit has ONLY ONE OUTLET on it (the one to which the fridge is connected), then what are the most likely causes of RANDOM arc fault trips. It'll stay on for a week...then all of a sudden...it'll trip (even...

BACKGROUND
I live in a small town where it is difficult to find ceritified electricians. In fact, electrician certification is not common for residential installations. I did find some experienced electricians but I don't think they are certified and know best practices in the installation.

Hello. I am new here. I am trying to figure out something in my attic. This mysterious black box appears to be connected to my attic fan, but it doesn't seem to actually affect anything when I twist the knob. Can anyone help identify it?
Thanks in advance!
I have 2 external HDD's I use often. Both Power cables are 12V 2A supplies & input 100-240v 50/60Hz 0.80A. However, 1 of the plugs has broken, I stood on it. The other plug powers either of the HDDs. My question is, if I buy a splitter, will the power supply power both HDDs at the same time if...
