Greetings everyone
I work at a company that sells chargers for electric vehicles and I’m working on the electrical projects.
The chargers I work with, are alternating current (AC) and the main mode here is a three-phase installation 220 V, at 7.04 kW with a current of 32 amps.
If the system...

I'd really like to install underfloor, electric radiant heating in my bathroom. The space to cover is very small, probably 25-30 sq ft. once the tub and vanity are factored in. Not having planned for this, we don't have a dedicated breaker for it.
Current set up: we have two junction boxes...
Good evening all, I just wanted to pick your brains regarding electric radiators.
I am due to purchase a property and want to install very basic but very good oil filled radiators which can be controlled via a central stat (through a contactor).
I have installed thousands of these which all...
Hi just looking for advice (or to see if anyone has had this done) if any one knows the cost of installing electrics from a main house to a static caravan about 15ft from the house. Tia
Bought a house a few months ago and would like to have access to electrical outlets in the garage. There is already an electric cable running to it and has wires running to an outlet and a light fixture (which is no longer there, just the hanging wire).
Looking in the electric cupboard I can't...
Hey guys!
I'm hoping to get some advice. We are in the process of building an entertainment unit which will have an electric fire floating on the front. However, this fire comes with a plug. I guess my question is, what's the best way to plug this in so the wire can't be seen? I wanted to add...

A friend of mine has moved into a small flat. There is no Gas supply to the property and so is looking into having a 14Kw Boiler installed. This would require a 63A breaker on the board. My calculations for Maximum Demand based on the other circuits in the...
I want to install a wall mounted toothbrush charger alongside a washbasin in a bedroom. Depending on what turns out to be the easiest option for routing the cable I intend to either wire this into the lighting circuit, which is protected in the CU by a 6A circuit breaker or take a spur off the...

Hi all Happy Christmas to you and yours.

I made the temporary leap to a off grid Mobile home a few months ago while I build my house.
All works ok, generator during the day and batteries and a 1 to 2 kw 220v inverter at night.
However, there is a slight problem, I...
Hello,
I created this account as I have ran into a huge issue with my electric bill. I have been living at my house for 1 year right now. Every 2 months I have been paying anywhere between $60-$80 for my bill. I opened my bill today and it has jumped for $650 for this cycle. After calling...

Hi
Has anyone seen this type of electric meter? It has the normal dial (on the left) and it has a card meter added. The card meter, I think can only read £1 cards.
At the moment, it will not accept any new cards. Apparently you are supposed to insert the card, when the red light goes green you...
Hi all.
Bit of a weird one. Have solar PV with a iboost +. All was working fine until meter was exchanged for a smart meter.
The system is still working, the solar iboost buddy is registering power usage and excess has been sent to the hot tank, but, the amount of power registered is not...
I stupidly got distracted on a job by a customer and forgot (no excuse I know..) didn't test for dead and grabbed the lighting cable after taking the light down earlier. A quick buzz but thought nothing of it. 3 or 4 days later arm pain, similar symptoms to tennis elbow, and arm weakness. Has...
I believe "current" is the rate of flow
I believe "watts" volume of mass
I believe "volts" is the force
Then again I am not sure.
Then again all the above are means to measure something from different points of view while not understanding/explaining what "it" is.
My Lasko electric heater stopped working and I thought it just played out so I replaced it with another heater that worked fine for a while, but when I went back to check it was also not working. A fan is on the same circuit and has been that way for years, the fan still works fine. Is this...
