Hi guys in installing a 16mm submain with a 10mm earth and I'm going to install a 80amp time delay RCD with a 63amp MCB to protect it. Some one said I could just use a 63amp RCD to protect it? Never done this before and wouldn't think you could.
Also should I just use a 63amp RCD with a 63amp MCB
Dear Forum....
My kettle connects to the mains via a 3-core 0.75mm^2 flexible cable that is about 75cm long. This was the cable that came with the kettle.
The power rating of the kettle is from 1800-2200 Watts, which means it is drawing between 7.8 and 9.6 amps (using nominal voltage of 230V)...
Looking for my first SDS for chasing out etc and looking for some advice. Definitely going corded route, domestic stuff with capability for handling brick, concrete and stone. First query is how much difference does the kg make? ie some say 2kg, 3kg 4kg and even 5kg. I am guessing each is a step...
I recently asked my electrician to add 4 new sockets to my kitchen, following a re-arrangement of my kitchen appliances. These supply a kettle, toaster, microwave, George foreman and a fridge. The issue he had was there was no ring main in a convenient place, only a spur to a single socket...

Tried to get into the alarm section but think I need to post more.
Any one in the Southend on Sea area want to give me a quote on a wired alarm for my house.

Hi gents

I'm looking to swap out my light fittings from gu4 to gu10 and to do so I have to cut a transformer off and wire the mains into the gu10 fitting. It's an old flat and all I can find within it (in terms of power isolation) is an RCD. Will an RCD device provide enough protection to perform this...
Long story but I have only got C & G 2330 Level 3 as when we went to sign up for Level 2 the year before, the college told us the 2330 was ending, so they put us on an "equivalent" EAL Level 2 Diploma Electrical Engineering, which in hindsight was not equivalent at all, more engineering than...

I'm guessing some of the blokes on this site REALLY don't get out a lot, what with this constant abuse of (perceived) Electrical Trainee and others. And apparently no actual interest in the trainees forum, which would be fair enough but belies what people have previously professed.
I'm always browsing latest...

Hi I've installed a 12v ac relay but the 12v supply won't pull the relay coil in. It gets it signal from a disabled alarm kit. Multimeter shows a healthy 12v when alarm is activated but relay won't energise. Tried a couple of different relays but no joy. ????
Hi guys,
