Hi,
There are a few variations of this question here so apologies if its a bit of a broken record but I can't quite find the exact answers I'm after. Straight to the point:
Has anyone recently had a first time NAPIT assessment?
If so, were you able to show work in your own home? I know this...
I've finally found a customer rich enough to want a Zappi, and by heck it's so much nicer to install than the budget brands!
But I wonder if anyone has installed one with recent firmware?
All of the documentation and training videos talk about Device Limit and Grid Limit which make sense.
The...

Carried out a ZE test got 14 ohms and got same reading when did ZS on the board (yes did disconnect earth for ZE) .. the main earth is wired into the...
Hi all,
Merry Christmas to everyone, and apologies for talking work during the holidays😅
I have my first EV charger install job early in the New Year, and I might be able to enjoy the holidays a bit better if I could ask your advice please.
I'm going to install a 7kw Zappi charger with built...
Hello, 1st time post from an amateur. I have some old Habitat decorative lights that are powered by a transformer. There seems to be a break in the wiring as the lights go off when the wire is moved around so I was going to shorten the wire. The problem is that I can't find a replacement...
Hi
Wonder if any one could give a rough estimate for first fix electrics for a small 4x4 side extension? Would involve moving consumer unit same position to other side of external wall (which becomes internal wall of side extension.) 3 lighting points in ceiling, 4 double wall sockets (powering...
Hi, Just looking to see if anyone has any advice on taking on a first employee. I have been happily working alone but just need an extra pair of hands a bit more often than i can pull people of their own work to help me. any advice gratefully recieved.
Thanks
Hi all,
I currently have a Pyronix Enforcer V10 Wireless alarm system. I have some shock/contacts on windows, doors, PIRs, and an external siren. It's fine for now, and the batteries last ages. The main complaint is a terrible external PIR which is disabled due to endless false alarms.
I'm...
Hi all,
Hope you're all keeping well.
We're having a first electrical inspection soon and was looking for some advice please on how best to prepare. Has anyone had an initial inspection recently, and if so, what kind of questions or angles does the inspector look/go for. I'm confident on the...
not been on lately due to spending the last 2 and a bit weeks in hospital having broke my femur. problem was the break was right at the top of the bone just below the joint and as such irrepairable, so the sawbones fitted me with a new shiny metal ball. Good news was that the pelvic socket was...
Hi,
So I plan on installing my first EV charger soon. What's the usual route. Do I notify the DNO and sit and wait for approval or is there a shortcut? What are most electricians doing? I've met a couple who are claiming to be 'banging out' EV chargers but that doesn't really chime well with...
Hi guys/gals
Directing this question at you that have transitioned already from sparky to pv insatller. I have my first pv install after getting so many queries since the energy price rise and looking to get one under my belt. I want to go in properly and that it is being installed to a high...
Hi. I've had a kitchen extension done and the builder has charged for first and second fix electrics. He has since said that my consumer unit needs upgrading to add more RCBOs but this will cost me extra.
I would've thought this should be included, am I wrong?
He has also said that I will need...
Hoping someone might find this a challenging puzzle - I'd be grateful for any help and sorry in advance for the lengthy description!
I think I’ve inherited some creative wiring.
I need to replace a 3-way switch on a circuit that worked fine for years. When I removed the old switch, I found 5...
Hi,
I'm an industrial spark and taking my 2391 next week (wish me luck, I need it).
I decided to get a bit of practice and started an inspection on my own house.
I got as far as, b32 socket (ring?!) breaker looks slightly browned, better check it.
3 cables in the breaker two identical and...
