I'm trying to find the video and or article where PM questions were extended.

Hello, this emergency light does not come on when power is cut. There is a red light on when house has power, indicating power to the unit. The bulb works fine. I thought the battery may need changed. It has not been changed for a long time.
How ever I can't see where the battery is. Is it...
Hi all.
I work in a factory and do the regular EML light test.
The factory has had some extra racking installed.
This now covers some of the emergency twin spots.
I know where I can move some of them to better cover the area and have discussed additional ones to also cover the area better...
Hi, I am new to HV Electrical Stuff. I am trying to use a emergency stop button to kill power to BOX A remotely.
The wall socket has 3 phase 380V supply without neutral. I want to introduce a control relay between BOX A and Wall socket. The remotely operated cable (20 metres) with Emergency...
I want to make a power tool extension lead using an Emergency Stop Switch KJD17B NVR. However, this is a momentary switch (not latched) so the supply is not constant. Do I need the switch to operate relays that will feed a constant 240V? What would the wiring diagram be? what relays would I...
Hi
Just made up this drawing of a way to wire and test emergency lighting and keep the non-emergency lighting lit.
Has others wired it this way and would it be 18th edition compatible?
I've attached the drawing
Something is amiss at the Science Museum London, lots of the building have a varity of hired in battery LED lighting and the rest is closed due to urgent maintance... Sounds like they are needing a electrician or two and I suspect they are on a central battery installation.
Would anyone be so kind to provide a wiring diagram for the following ?
I will have the following per room
1 sensor, 4 lights ( 1 Maintained emg) and 1 exit
There will be a test kit at the switchboard
Many thanks in advance
Emergency light remained on when power reconnected.
Switched to off, now not working.
New battery, supply 232v, fuses ok. LED indicators not on
Any suggestions, thank you
Ok, say you had a building that needed backup power. Does British Code require that the loads be subdivided onto different branches and automatic transfer switches based on type and priority?
I am looking for a product to convert an existing lighting circuit in a communal stairwell to be emergency battery backed up. There are 6x 7W LED mains fittings, so say a max 50W load. I could just add emergency lighting fittings, but wiring and access is difficult.
It also needs to have a...
Hello all.
Many apologies if I’m not in the right place.... and for my terminology (or lack of it)but here goes. It’s been a while.
I’ve been asked to sort an issue with emergency lighting.
A block with five floors has ‘normal’ and el’s
A breaker on the CU turns off all existing lighting...
Having been at present place of work, for just overs a year now,just started to feel comfortable with the place. It’s predominantly a care home, and has all the normal infrastructure in place.
I've never down much work with emergency lighting, other than installing it. Can anyone explain the...
I’m replacing emergency light fittings which have three terminals L-N-E, with new fittings which have four terminals (permanent live, switch live, neutral and earth). I only have a switch live going to these lights which is from distribution board to light switch then to these lights. Will these...
Im toying with the idea of putting a maintained switched emergency light under the stairs as this is where the service head/DB is located and, in the event of a power failure I don't want to be rummaging around trying to find the torch that I know I left there but SWMBO since moved it without...
Just had an unsolicited call from this company trying to sign up electricians for emergency call outs. Got bored listening to the girl reading out from a crib sheet but suspect it’s another one of the many companies out there want to take a major cut of your hard earned wedge for taking a few...
Hi, I need help wiring my electrical key switch and contactor panel.
I’ve wired my lighting circuits back to my fuse board but left brown/black out and taken them straight to key switch. Taken brown from breaker also to feed the key switch. What are my connections at key switch? Also what do I...
Been a while since I installed emergency lights as new. Bit rusty.
Now I’ve got a few rooms to wire in a building that are going to be rented out commercially.
I’m upgrading the db, to allow for expansion when other rooms start being worked on.
The customer just verbally told me what he...
Hi
I have installed a lighting circuit which has emergency with (integral battery packs) and non emergency lights on the same circuit (from the same MCB). The are wired in PVC twin and earth cable.
The British standard for emergency lighting states the following,
