    How to calculate the effect of ground Enhansing material (GEM) in Earthing

    Can anyone advice me on how to take in the effect of Ground Enhansing Material (GEM) used in Electrical Earthing to reduse the earth resistance? in all the suppliers specification they only mension the GEM reduse the soil resistance drastically? so should i consider 1/5th,ro 1/10th or 1/100th...

    Lost Neutral on 3 Phase system - how do you calculate the effect on line voltage

    I know the effect of a lost neutral (floating neutral) on a 3 phase system, and the theory of why the line voltages can vary. However, I have been attempting to show this by calculating the line voltages of a phase system at given loads on each phase. Lets say:- Red 296 Amps, Yellow 279 Amps...

    Effect of SSEN "down tapping" our transformer

    Hi, This relates to our planned PV installation. The G99 application came back outside SSEN's limit for voltage rise, which for property connected at 240V is 1.3%. They will, for an estimated £2K, "look to" change our transformer to drop voltage in normal operation. "Alternatively we can look...

    The Seebeck Effect....

    What I can't seem to get any information on is, 'does increasing the heat cause more electricity, if so what are the temperature ratings of the chromel & Alumel' wires?

    "Smart" Dimmers and one side effect?

    Of late I've been using smart dimmers. And they do the job very well. In a couple of cases turning another light on in the middle of the circuit cause the dimmer-controlled lights to briefly go out and then light again. I'm guessing the dimmers are adapting to the change in circuit resistance...

    can frequency changes effect the electrolysis process?

    A curious look at electrolysis After reading the quotes below which I got from another forum, I ask these questions ~~~~~ "Non-integer-frequency crystals will work well, as long as the crystal's frequency is between the microcontroller's maximum and minimum crystal frequencies. The non-integer...

    Outside Led flood light has started to have a strobe effect when switched on

    Hi I have an led flood light just above the door on my shed. I went out to the shed tonight and as I switched on the LED flood light I noticed that it was acting out a strobe light effect. I switched it off then on again and it was strobing again... Anyone ever experienced this before and if so...

    Electromagnetic effect in 4C Swa cable with high kA

    Hi All, hope someone can provide some clarity; We have a number of 400mm^2 4C Swa sub-mains subject to potential 43kA fault currents. Since the cables have TP&N contained within a shared SWA sheathing we were of the understanding that the electromagnetic response resulting in a violent and...

    Radial off a ring circuit

    Hi all, I have been asked to add a couple of sockets and add power to an existing strip light (currently disconnected) in a garage. There is presently an SWA 2.5 mm cable that is apparently live but taped up, hanging loose in the garage which is fed from a 32a ring circuit located in a utility...

    LED MR16s on DC LED drivers

    Struggling to find a consensus on this - is it OK to power MR16 LEDs off a DC power source? I have been asked to do this by a customer who has bought the lamps and transformers himself, but the MR16s actually say AC on them so I'm uneasy about it. He says he has connected them temporarily...

    Electromagnetic effect - switch drop in metal conduit

    Daft question alert! :) Is this ok? It seems to go against 521.5.1, as the neutral does not follow the line down to the switch and back in the steel conduit. But I don't think it will cause any electromagnetic effects... when the switch is open, there is no current flow; when the switch is...

    Voltage drop and it's effect?

    Hello all, just been thinking over Voltage drop!! 1. Where does the 3% and 5% figures for voltage drop (VD) come from? Appendix 4 (BS7671) gives the figures but why the different values between lights and sockets? 2. Also permitted voltage levels are -6% and +10% from 230V giving a min of 216V...
