This was prompted by me seeing a couple of videos of cone/step drill being used to make holes in a CU. I use a step bit quite often, especially in plastic enclosures, but in metal ones the drilling action causes noise and considerable vibration. I like to install with as little hammering and...
I was thinking it would be cool if the forum set up an unoffical discord server for people to join and chat.
When I was studying for my Cisco CCNA I was in the reddit discord server and it was a fantastic resource for learning. Thought it would be cool to set one up for the forum here. Even if...
Hi guys, I am interested to buy BS 62305 (a standard for lightning design and assessment calculation for building). How can I get it and what will be the price. Thanks
We need an electrical tek to help us set up a new amplifier/plasma tube system. We have numerous pieces of USA built professional gear. For the amp/coupler/tube we need help with, we have all manuals, specs, designs for convenience. Numerous health benefits (we also have botanicals on tap) tek...
I recently became the not so proud owner of an mso56 ocilliscope. It is more complex than my wife. It is in great condition barely used if at all. I think my late father paid something like 30k for it a little over a year ago. But then tragically passed 6 months later. I (his only son) was the...
Hi all,
I have recently bought my 1st house, where, only now I start to get interest on knowing more about how electrical things around the house are connected and so on (when it is a rented house you don't really care as much I guess). Ultimately joined this forum to browse through other...
Nice old iron-clad service cutout, just wondered how old it is?
Apparently the smart-meter fitter took one look at it and said, "I'm not touching that, this is a job for Western Power." I'll get the client to ask nicely for PME while they're at it, and an isolator (currently TT, Victorian semi)
Hi all. Bit of a strange one here.
I was active on the forum earlier this year with a view to doing my training in the UK.
Well turns out i've moved to France pre-Brexit and am now doing my training here !
The college I want to do it through has asked me to get at least 1 electrician to...
Hello there. I am 22 and would like to become an electrician. While searching online, I found the TradeSkills4U L2&L3 2365 qualification, worth £7490. I know it will NOT make me a qualified electrician, but I am of the understanding that I need that qualification to get me through the door. Can...
Hi, a quote I just sent out to a customer. Have I interpreted the regs correctly ? You're welcome to use it if you think it's ok. P.S.it's meant to get the point across in laymans terms.
I was 7. I painstakingly removed 2 screws from a power socket with a small pair of scissors and then tried to unscrew the live in the same fashion.
This is how I became painfully became interested in them, how about you?
We’re looking to be creating office space soon which will require a rewire, but I’m just absolutely swamped. Anyone from the north east interested in giving us a price for the works?
Hello, I'm here to ask a few questions about how an electrician might do something. I might or might not learn to do things myself, depending on how much free time I have in the future.
I'm living full time in an RV and reading a book about wiring from Lowe's Hardware. I just noticed this forum...
Hi there,
I have just joined the forum.
I have been involved in the electrical and electronics industry for over 40 years. I am now involved with Electrical Vehicles, and run a charge point installation directory. I am here to learn and hopefully give any advice where possible.
