I have decided to install a large PV system in my paddock next to my garden.
I am aiming at 9.99kWp to make the best of FIT break points. Around 50 to 55 panels, by the rough sums I have done. All in one long row of about 45m, mounted at 30/40 degrees and facing due South. Will hopefully net...
......Set at 500ma. Now this supplies several dist boards serving quite a few circuits. My question is do I install individual rcds set at 30ma at every board or to reduce incovenience when a circuit trips do I put all circuits on rcbo's( think of the expense of over 100 circuits). A lot of...
Doing a kitchen job at the moment and as is the norm electric under tile heating has been specified throughout the tiled areas. Being a big area the load (about 4kW) is greater then the stat can handle so i'm going to have to fit a relay or contactor in line with the load.
Firstly, does anyone...

I have a question regarding the Feed-in tariff:
We have looked at a potential project in an industrial estate on a total of five roofs with an overall capacity of 124 kWp.
If the project is treated as one installation, the FiT would be 29.3 p.
If each roof gets its own meter, is it possible...

Does anyone know what the rules are regarding the estimated output? We're pricing a reasonably big job at the moment and saw a competitors kWh/kWp figures and none of them matched the figures you would obtain from using the actual proper SAP tables. Are there any guidelines you can follow. eg...
Hello All
We've been asked to test quite a large Corn Starage/Drying plant. The installation was put in in 1979 and has never been tested since. We have all the blueprint drawings, but cables are not marked at each end (i.e control panel and isolator).
When I've been round other sites...
Hi all,

I've just tested the ends of a wire to check if it was live (using a fluke voltmeter) and had a massive flash and bang at the points of the probes). I'm annoyed because I should have isolated the circuit and...

Hi all!

This is just for one room

Evening people. I have recently been tasked with producing a Schedule of Rates for large cable installations. I have got cable prices / gland prices and labour costs but what I am missing is a formula to put it all together. Does anybody know if there are any "Industry Standards" available...

The building is supplied with a 6mm swa and only includes 4 double sockets and 8 lights. The steelwork has to be earthed but in what size? Never wired a building like this before ie with the steelwork. Anything else I need to know about regs wise? :confused:
Right, i've been asked to organise a commercial PIR on a Large site which i do a lot of Maintenance electrical work. I haven had to deal with this side of things on such a large scale before and although easy enough to break down into smaller sections for testing & recording purposes my main...
