I have decided to start looking for a new job in the electrical sector, been looking about and there seems to be some interesting jobs such as working on railways or working on the new 4g systems and hv on pilons, but it always seems they want previous experience. For example the railways want a...
Just found out today that we are missing out (for now) on a large PV project. They are very keen on proceeding but they also believe that the initial cost to install is likely to reduce even further and that, and this is the interesting thing, the next drops in FIT are not that significant so...
Not having much else to do we decided to pop over to the NEC to catch the Renewable Event. It was actually quite interesting and there were some interesting keynote speeches.
It was interesting to see that TedM's digression chart was used (and credited) by the head of climate change at CBI...

I priced up a CU change only 2 months ago from old BS3036 rewirable to a new 17th Ed board.
I quoted £250 (now £325)
He never came back to me - I had a call last night at 9pm - he came back from Tesco to find his electric cupboard in flames! I tolded him to pull the main fuse and get on the...
Just this minute got back from quoting for a full report on a restaurant. Here are some of the photos of the board/s as I found them, in a cupboard at about head height. I especially love the use of a coat hanger as a DIN rail. Enjoy! :D
Now then, where do I start :D

Hi People,
We'll be giving a few members access to post articles to the forum soon so I just wanted to ask if anybody is interested. They can post their own articles or find a few you're allowed to share from other sources.
Think of it like a bit of a news section of the website. So you can...
A friend of mine is purchasing a house and has asked an interesting question. He has seen the EICR for the property, which the home owner had, and the only thing he can remember seeing was the absence of an RCD.
He knows the property does not have an RCD on his inspection but it is pointed out...

Not being "one of the trade", I said that I would stop posting on here - but I found this observation to be too interesting to not mention:
Two adjacent solar PV arrays, mounted on near-identical houses, facing near-identical direction (SouthEast) and neither with shade issues, taken at 9.45am...
I thought I'd share this with you guys and gals.
It's from ECA Today where a study was carried out in the UK (I don't know by who) in relation to electrical installations and electrical appliances in the home. It summarises that "People in the UK expose themselves and their families to...
Hi all, I have a 3.84kw sanyo system sitting on my roof and when comparing it to other users admitted outputs on this site it seemed to be running quite well. However when browsing through PVoutput where I also input my figures for anyone to compare I have come across a system which is slightly...
Hi all, the boss went to look at a job yesterday on a barn conversion, variety of jobs need doing but one of the things the client wants is to remove the smoke alarms as she finds them unsightly. It was pointed out the dangers and the non compliance with building regs but she is insistent...
