    Hi guys I'm 24yo with some current site experience. I'm looking at doing the TradeSkills4U Domestic + EV Installer course. Now I understand employers are going to be sceptical of anyone coming from a 5-week electrical course. What should my expectations be salary and finding employment wise...

    When does 3 phase supply become 230V in domestic consumer unit?

    I went along this morning to quote for an EVCP install. I thought it was a domestic house but it was a B@B. It has a 3 phase supply. I always pass on commercial or 3 phase as it is outside of my remit. However, I am toying with the idea of fitting this EVCP IF I can fit it from a single phase...

    Not done a domestic board change for at least 3 years…

    ….. which made doing this all the more worthwhile!! I lost count of the Henleys and Tails on the discard pile!! A bonus that I hadn’t expected was being able to put the PV meter in the board as well. That started off as an Easy+ dual RCD but using an additional busbar and adapting it...

    pharmacist wanting to re train as a domestic electrician

    Hi everyone I'm 35, been a practising pharmacist for nearly 10 years, but it doesn't really float my boat any more. I bought a fixer-upper 6 years ago, put an extension on it and learn loads about the building trade on the way. I loved the hands-on aspect and didn't mind the hard graft. Now I...
