One of our customers has asked about monitoring his PV system for both generation and home usage. He doesn't have internet and doesn't want to spend a lot, so I have been looking at the Wattson solar plus.
Does anyone have any experience of this and how well does it work? Can you recommend...
I was fault finding a streetlighting column today and found this. That'll be why the light doesn't work then. Wouldn't it have been better to drop a new length of cable in instead of using chokky blocks? They have their place sure, just not inside the very top of an exposed lighting column.
Hi there,
I have a honeywell optima compact panel and wanted to do the walk test, but doesn't work. Tested detectors given them direct 12 voltage, they are ok. They don't get 12 voltage from the panel, checked wireing, it is wired as shown, it should be correct. Checked output on panel and it...
Hopefully I'm not making a complete a**e of myself here!
I've just bought an MFT1730 (currently re qualifying as a sparkie) in readiness for my 2392. My idea was to start using the device at home to become familiar with it. However I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle, so to speak. I...
Hi guys,
First thank you for reading and helping out.
Ok I got the above water timer, since last week it's just doesn't seem to be working.
First off i set the time as per current time, i set the time as "summer." but it just doesn't seem to heating up the water and importantly it doesn't...
Hi All,
I have been asked to take a look this evening at a light fitting which blew its bulb now doesn't work with any new bulbs.
Going to check the obvious first ie: switch, terminations, voltage at fitting etc.. anyone had any experience with this and got any
advice on what else to look out...
when doing an inspection i came accross a radial circuit serving 4 points, the IR between L-N @500V was 0.00 Mohms, on continuity between L-N I got 25 ohms. when I then energised the circuit and clamped the live, no current being drawn. I have yet to take any fronts off as it was just an...
We've got a bit of interest and little urgency from our customers who say they want us to install - as a customer I'd be the same.
Yesterday, we visited a customer, their next door neighbour had been lucky enough to get their system installed before the Dec deadline (a debatable argument...
Hi chaps,
got a big problem here, cutting power in the house I'm working in sets the alarm off and the reset code doesn't work! (alarm hasn't been used for donkeys years anyway, it's an ancient piece of tat...
Anyone know how to silence a Micromark 23022? Tried googling for manuals, but none...
Hi all,
I have a thorn ip rated twin strip light in my loft which is not staying on. Basically when i switch the switch the light flashes a couple of times and then stops and doesn't come on. This is one of the lamps that doesn't have a little cylindrical starter in it but has the gubbins...
Am thinking of taking this on despite the fact that I'm not entirely comfortable with it being rented as a service and that my data is on someone else's server.
its 1200 a year but saves me the hassle of updating the MCS manual and searching new master documents.
On the plus side if they have...
OSG says 2m max, but doesn't refer to regs and I've read 537 and nothing to be found. So:
Got a customer wants to fit a lovely big range cooker in between two windows, perfect fit and will look great. Nowhere for the isolator to go except on an adjacent wall, around 4m wall length / 3m diag...
Why do circuits over 32A have a 5s disconnect time yet those 32A or less have a .4s disconnect time? I have read the relevant regs but do not understand why and cannot find the answer in my books
We are seriously looking at installing a PV system. Our house faces roughly south west and, at the start seemed to be pretty shade free. We've had two surveys done and both have highlighted shading due to the property next door and a large chimney on the front of our property. This is perfectly...
Hi there,
I'm a heating engineer so any electrical terms would be best not used with me.
This is in my own home.
I have just replaced a REDRING eco 7 time controller with Newlecs version as the whole component stopped working.
The wiring was basically the same.
Put the fuse back in..Nothing...
Hi all,
Anyone else bored to death with all of the BS surrounding the Olympics? I've already got my holiday's booked for the WHOLE of next July/August. And it will be as far a bloody way from London as I can get. Seb Coe, can you hear me? Just flip off with all of your grandous patronizing...
