Hello everyone,
Following on from my previous post where I received advice on taking a spur off a 40a feed (thank you). I performed the work today, installing a surface fixed metal faceplate and back box. When terminating to create the spur (tight fit into terminals with both 6mm and 2.5mm!)...

Hey guys, I've been on jobs splicing and installing Pot head Terminations of 13800V PILC cable and I cant help but think our mix of lead to tin is as good as it could be. Walking through some plants Ive seen substations with immaculate lead wipes made anywhere from 25- 50 years ago and notice...
Hi picked up a KT63 tester cheap for trainee to practice testing but need the piggy back lead. If you have one great, and prepared to part with it on any reasonable terms even better, pm me?
Hi,
I have always used banjos when earthing the armour on an SWA but have now switched to earthing nuts. I am making off a 10mm fly lead to the earthing nut (using 10mm to match the line conductor size as is good practice). Can't find any ring crimps that will take 10mm cable but have a lug hole...
Hi Guys.
Is it safe to use an extension lead with a single pin 48V battery charger for an e-trike? The charger has a standard UK 3-pin mains plug. If so, what length limitations would there be for the extension lead - I probably won’t need it to be long. This is the Battery Charger...

Hi gents and ladies,
I’ve just bought a Kewtech KT63, the instructions aren’t very clear on lead setup. When doing a Ze is this a 3 lead test on no trip setting, using the green blue and brown test leads? When doing PEFC and PSCC is this a 2 lead test on high setting. So the blue/green leads...
Hi all.
Could I ask some advice please regarding SWA banjo fly lead sizing.
Can anyone explain what sizing or how you size the required earth size when:
A) The armourings are not used as cpc

I’m still learning and can’t find anything explain I guess this...

Hello I’ve bought a Clarke ceramic heater it’s a 110v and it’s got a 32amp plug on it , would it be possible to connect it to my 110v transformer via a (32amp socket to 16amp plug ) fly lead is that safe or do I need to plug it to an isolator before going into a 110v transformer
Can you help

Hi all,
Hope you are all well and all is good!
I am installing a sub board being fed by a 80A SP+N Metal Switch Fuse at source, this is feeding a 25mm 3 core SWA at a length of about 2 meters to the main DB (both boards are metal). I am being challenged in saying that I have to add an earth...
Hello,
Yet to dip my toe in EV and have been trying to avoid it to be honest. But have just been presented with a situation and just wanted to get thoughts from others, if possible please, before proceeding. which might even be suggesting they get someone else ??

I know it might be a silly question - but
I see they sell 50 meter R2 leads for £50-£90 .

I realise that you would need to...
