I am beginner with electric work and do DIY's only :).
I installed interlock kit and cut the piece to make it work but electric inspector came and said "NO NO". I need to use kit that fits without cutting it. I want to use left side breaker only with the main switch. Can you please advise which...
Hello from Quebec. I understand there are conflicting reports as to what can be legally installed here, specifically whether or not a junction box must be placed inbetween the switch and the breaker box.
I've sent my insurance co the question as to what effect installing the transfer switch...
I would like some advice...I am buying an irrigation pump kit rated at 1.5kW, 415VAC, with a direct online starter field panel. The pump will regularly start and stop throughout the day to empty a water tank as it fills. I have a spare breaker in my switchboard rated at 20A. The distance from...
I recently had my 50yr old 100A main panel replaced with a 200A Siemens panel (MC2040B1200EFC). It is the incarnation with the 200A main breaker at the bottom (earlier versions were center fed which would have alleviated my problem). At the same time I had the electrician add a 50A inlet for a...
Hi Guys
Only recently (used many moons ago when worked as a commercial spark!) got into using bootlace crimps again, wish I'd done this sooner they go everywhere with me now.
Question is what decent makes do you you recommend please, and is there a kit that has most of the common sizes in ...

Hi all,
I had a call out yesterday for an elderly lady wanting an outside light fitting. She clearly has no money but wanted an external plastic standard lamp she had got from somewhere installing outside in the middle of a grassed area. In short order it was clear this was going to be cost...

Anyone used one of these for kVA calculations? I'm fed up of approximate MD figures.
If not what are people using? Heard some have GPS capabilities but I don't want to pay £££££££
I lost my electric screwdriver for the day. I had to undo many, many socket screws by hand or with a big clunky drill and it made me realise how much I rely on the electric screwdriver.
There are many larger electric screwdrivers that all have some kind of extra gimmick. I just wanted one that...
Happy Sunday, lads and lassies.
I got one of those fold up briefcase type solar panels for camping from a neighbour. Seems pretty well self explanatory, but I just wondered what size battery to get?
Im thinking of setting it up on my garden shed just for a light.
I don’t think it needs to be...
Anyone used those wiska slim tail kit glands?
Tried using one today. Not sure it's worth the extra work.
Had a 32mm knockout on the board. The gland specifies 32mm. I put it in and it just kept falling out.
Decided to drill a slightly smaller hole. Got to 32mm on the cone drill bit and it...

I’m now looking at the Fluke 1664FC tester, has anyone got it, ideally I want to move away from Megger, I keep...
Am I behind the times here? I’m being urged to mount a whole host of boards, iso’s, meters etc onto unistrut for no good reason (there’s perfectly good wall available and frankly it’ll look awful) because apparently it’s a current trend to do so?? Anyone come across this lately?
