    Kitchen Grid Cpc’s

    Hi guys, It could just be me being daft here but I’ll ask the question anyway! I don’t use multi gang grid switches too often but I have two to fit currently. Both have a mixture of ring main and a few appliance radials. Would you earth the yoke with the cpc from one circuit and keep all the...

    UK Click mode switches and new grid system are great

    First try using the new Click Mode switches today, and I love the way that every light switch is automatically a grid switch. That means you can buy a light switch and change the modules to whatever you like. I was fitting an outside light and was able to swap out one of the switches on a two...

    Grid switches for kitchen appliances

    Evening all Just pricing a new build and they want a 4gang grid for the kitchen appliances. Am I correct in saying that if the switches are kept on the ring main and if I spur off each switch for an appliance and use an unswitched fuse spur unit behind each appliance that would be ok? It’s the...

    I have seen few cases where the owner of a factory uses transformer after the grid to lower the voltage, from 240 to 220v as a way to lower the consumption and at the end to save money. I was wondering if an inverter will do much better the job instead of a simple transformer as you can keep or...

    Grid switches on 32A ring

    I've been trying to work out whether grid switches (ie. a 20A switch) are acceptable on a normal 32A ring. I've read many threads online. Very few people seem sure whether it's acceptable but many sparks seem to do it in kitchens etc. The argument seems to be that the switch is rated at 20A but...
