I want to learn how AC works and I have no idea what I should use as an AC source since I never used one.I only know of inverters but that's not really helping me in understanding RLC circuits....Are AC sources real?Are they batteries?I'm new in this and I can't think of a device or something...
I want to become an electrician but unfortunately I went to an electronic speciality and I learned more about electronics than electrical equipment.In the 11th grade I had something about this speciality but it was for only a year.Is it possible to become an electrician if I went to another...
My rant today (as I am feeling somewhat sanguine and snowed in) is to do with various equipment that likes to argue with me. The tv...I watch a film and at the critical part the screen blanks off and asks if I am still watching, and will not continue with the film until I respond and say I am. I...
Hello all (first time posting so apologies if this topic has came up before)
I am looking towards doing my electrical and electronic HNC through teeside open learning and have been told that you can use level 4+5 (compex,design) qualifications as a RPCL (recognition of prior certified learning)...
Hi guys,
If anyone could offer me a little advice, it would be really appreciated. Mega quick background on myself... I left school and worked as a mechanic for two years, then did air conditioning and refrigeration (gained NVQ2) and worked in that field for 3 years, I then worked as a...
Think I’m missing something here. Have been asked to remove a Horstmann E7 BX and replace with an Electronic 7.
The existing set up is two immersion elements (top & bottom) in one cylinder, 24hr top and O/P bottom
Now, the BX has connections for both the incoming off peak and 24hr supplies...
Hi
Can anyone give me some advice. My light fitting has stopped working after my husband changed the bulbs. I think the transformer has blown (bulbs put in were too high wattage) and I’m looking to change it. Can anyone advice me of a good replacement for an NRE-80 transformer please. Picture...
Evening all..
I have an editable version of an EICR thanks to Murdoch and also a MWC thanks to Happysteve but I cannot find an EIC. I have looked at the Stroma ones and don't get on with them.
Anyone?
Cheers.
Hi All
I have gone through past post on this, but I want some input so give me both barrels.
I am a full qualified heating engineer (gas and oil certified), I worked as a commissioning engineer for large biomass boilers (up to 2MW) these systems are heavily automated, I did this until I was...
Hello, everyone,
I want to understand how the NO NEUTRAL electronic timer switches and the NO NEUTRAL PIR motion sensor switches works. I would apreciate if someone can make this clear to me.
Thank you.
Hi all,
I wish you all a great new year! For me it is a new start. It is my first time in UK. I am looking for a permanent Position anywhere. I have over 15 years experience in automotive, retail and rail industry. Be experienced in maintenance of low and high voltage processes, have the...
Hello all, this is my first post so please don't grill me too soon ;)
So I've finally got mains in my shed after a few years of using 12v lighting and rolling the extension lead out when required. For a year or two, I have been running 6 x 4.5w LED clusters as main lights using a pair of 12v...
In my degree I did not took electrical or energy modules(concentrating on analogue/digital/software/math/management modules) and did not work with high voltages. If I want to become domestic electrician (primarily for my own house) - what would be the easiest way to get required certifications?
Insulation resistance testing with electronic equipment between L-N connected together and earth.
Switch mode power supplies have EMC capacitors between L - N - E.
However, when you test for IR you are using DC. Capacitors block DC.
What is there in some electronic equipment that allows a...
Hi,
I got my boiler control changed last week as the old one stopped working. The current one doesn't seem to be heating the water when I set it a range of times. It does heat the water when the BOOST button is on, but that's not enough for me. I believe I have an immersion heater and I am not...
Hi guys, been away off this site for ages, glad to be back. No doubt been asked many times before,but is there is a link whereby I can download EICR / EIC forms just to use as a one off.
Also as I'm very rusty filling in these forms, is there an explanation page for the Schedule of Inspection...
Does anyone know what type of equipment these qualifications entitle me to work on.

I have bought a Dimplex 1/2/kw convector freestanding electric heater which does not have a timer. In the manual it states "do not use with an external switching device such as a timer so as to avoid the potential hazard of the inadvertent resetting of the internal thermal safety cut out...
Hi,
I have a module on electronic principles. One of the questions is
Three resistors of 50 ohms,50 ohms & 5 ohms are connected in series across a voltage source (Battery). If the power dissipated in the 50 ohms resistor is 100w, calculate the voltage drop across each resistor and the total...
