Just wondering if anyone has any handy tips when trying to identify single core cpc's and neutrals?
I work in a few food factories than are in constant production and switching off supplies is not an option, so identifying circuits can get pretty tricky.
Identifying neutrals is pretty simple...
I am told by a local authority their tender is generic and performance based. However, here is the panel spec:
"The solar PV panels will have a performance guarantee for at least 25 years which will be backed by a global reputable organisation
All PV panels to have a minimum of a 25 year...

Hi, I hope someone can help me shortly - what's this connection name, it feeds LED fairy lights in a garden, but cant find any name on it. It does work on 230V

Looking inside a panel i noticed the 0v and 24v from a sensor went to a row of terminals before the I/O. They were labelled up h1 24v (brown) and a h2 0v (blue). I was just wondering why h1/h2 instead of 24/0v? Is this simply just how the designer chose to identify them or does the h mean...
Hello all forum users.
I am currently training as an electrician and have been able to identify some DNO cut out fuses rating but i have one in a rented property im staying in that has no identifying marks on it apart from BICC MK2. It looks old.
My question is is this a standard pull out...
Hi everyone wasn’t here for a while, nice to be back.
I got to replace a SP, 16 way fuse board in the office block. It is an old Dorman Smith board.
The question I have is:
Is there is any tricks how quicker to identify neutrals and cpc’s, when you have singles coming into fuse board in one...
Alrighty chaps,
I'm about to go balls deep into an EICR for a big 24 hour food factory that don't have any previous records for anything at all even though it was only built 7 years ago.
I have a bit of a problem with identifying which MCCB compartments on the main panel come from which...
Greetings.
I tested an rfc and recorded the following results:
r1 = 0.62
rN = 0.89
r2 = 1.45
The difference in r1 and rN indicate loose connections so I checked all the sockets (bar one) on the ring which revealed two loose connections.
The rfc now tests as follows:
r1 = 0.58
rN = 0.59
r2 = 1.45...
Hello all
I've recently installed a ryefield board and just when I am about to connect itto the service head I find out some one has nicked one of the fuses. I cantidentify it and therefore cant source another one
not allowed to post pictures but its ceramic and 45mm wide and 135mm long. I...
TNS and TN-C-S can appear the same at first observation, other than opening and looking in the cutout for the amount of incoming cores and the link , how else can you tell the difference.
Noob here looking for a bit of help, I'm trying to identify a connector/plug which has burnt out in my washing machine. To explain (I have a very limited knowledge of electrical components btw so apologies if my terminology is wrong!), I found a loose wire in the white connector which I think...
We have exposed a number of PILC cables bunched together, trouble is, we don't know which cable serves which building and we can't turn off random buildings without prior notice to the relevant people.
These cables need to be cut one by one and diverted.
Does anyone know of a piece of kit that...
First post here, but looking for assistance please.
I've been asked to look into repairing some existing office trunking, whilst also adding a new socket circuit into the same.
I have not been able to travel to look at the job (its a long way away), and the client has sent me some photos of...
Heya Folks,
I've been sent the following photo by a client and they want me to go round and fix it this afternoon. Apparently one or both of these has gone. Does anyone recognise them and know where I can get replacements?
Thanks,
Craig
This may seem like a daft question but when looking to establish whether or not a supply is a TNC-S supply (PME) can you assume that where you have a new service head which has the link to for earthing conductor by incoming neutral that this is a PME supply?
Can you get a case where although...
hi all
Apologies that this sounds stupid to most. I'm not a qualified electrician, just a diy'er with an interest in electronics.
I'm renovating my kitchen at present, I just removed a double socket with the plan of re-locating it. However i cant work this one out, despite reading my 'Collins...
