    What happens if you 'T' off a cat5e cable used for internet?

    I don't tend to get involved in anything out of the ordinary with data cables as I don't fully understand how it all works. However, a builder friend has asked if I can connect up some ethernet sockets which is fine, but, he asked if he could have just one cable leaving his router which plugs...

    What happens when current flows through the earth? Does it trip?

    Supposing I fit a metal light fitting, and I do a terrible job - and the live comes out from the terminal screw and hits the fitting, but it's well earthed - current will flow through the earth cable (hopefully) providing a circuit with less resistance than if I touch it. When this is happens...

    What happens to Part P notifications?

    I guess this might seem like an odd question, but what do the Part P notifications actually do? That is, beyond the goal of stopping dodgy work by folk with little or no electrical knowledge, do building control use them for anything? Can you use them to check on past work on a property you are...

    Ever seen what happens to an overrated cable

    Pictures show the 2 ends of a cable supplying a horse treadmill - panel and 32A plug. Been working fine for 18 months, but the MCB tripped out recently, Probably because of the proximity of bare wires in the plug - although there was no charring marks found. Story is that the guy who installed...

    THIS is what happens when you exceed the rated wattage....

    Went to change a light fitting today for a couple who'd just moved in to their new house. The fitting was rated at 2 x 60w. The lamps actually in the fitting were 2 x 70w. I'm used to seeing ceiling-mounted fittings with a little heat damage, but this was scary. The timber it was mounted to...

    I do this so you dont have to ;). Sending 250amps through a 1mm approx 10amp rated flex...... down the earth core until it evaporated the copper. You can see how the earth spirals in pic 2 as it burns and melts away all the insulation and sheath adjacent to it.... i expect it got a tad...

    Safety relay vs Plc

    Righto just a quick question.. I've been informed that a safety relay must be used for your estop circuit, but why can't you just use ladder logic to create your estop circuit? Does every one use a safety relay or does anyone use only a Plc logic for your safety circuit? Thanks, Dale..
