    Are gfci outlets safe enough?

    Hello, I’m buying a house that was built in 1940, but was recently renovated. I got an inspection done. The first floor outlets are grounded, but the 2nd floor and attic bedroom outlets all show open ground. The sellers put in GFCI outlets in the bedrooms upstairs. I’m wondering if this is safe...

    UK Are my old qualifications good enough to become "qualified"

    Hi All, I am not a sparky at present, I work in engineering, but I am considering a change. Last time there was a global financial crisis (2008-ish) I decided that I'd had enough of the uncertainty of working in someone else's engineering business and did my C&G 2330 L2 & L3 over a couple of...

    Do you need the 2391 course to certificate or is the 2330 enough?

    We did inspection and testing in college, and i'm wondering if I would need the 2391 course as well to certificate, or is this just to improve your ability to inspect and test? I remember filling out some sort of certificate on the exam. I have a fluke multifunction tester and it doesn't seem to...

    Need to extend a RFC - Zs not good enough

    Just after some thoughts on this. I need to extend a RFC, but the Zs isn't good enough to comply (it doesn't comply currently, but it becomes my problem when I touch it). It's currently about 0.70 ohms - what I need to extend it by will be minimal, maybe taking it up to 0.75 ohms. It's protected...

    My solar array doesn't seem to generate enough energy

    Hi, I've recently had a 4KW PV array fitted in March this year however I don't believe it's producing the expected results. Yesterday 29/06/2019 was the hottest day so far with cloudless skies and the system at noon peaked at 2.2KW. I would expect to achieve around my peak which is set at 3.8KW...

    Consumer Unit replacement cables not long enough.

    Ok, so you have a motley collection of old BS3036 fuse boxes that need to be replaced by a new consumer unit. Existing installation tests all good but the T&E coming out of the wall is spread out and not long enough. What do folks do to extend cables or what’s the recognised best practice to...

    Are my notches big enough?

    Found this beauty today, a 5 inch notch in a 6 inch joist. It wasn’t me! I felt sorry for the homeowner - and remember finding the exact same thing under my bathroom floor years ago.

    Been trying this for hours and had enough

    Please someone make this clearer. I just can’t for the life of me get my head round following the diagram to form a 90 degree bend. I have now gone through nearly 4 metres of 50mm trunking and still no joy. I just can’t get my head where to cut. If someone can point to where to cut I am sure...
