    Gym treadmill likely load

    Got an issue with gym equipment. ( I keep telling my wife I’m going to the gym, but she doesn’t believe me!) The gym owner says the circuit for treadmills trips out every now and again. I went there last week to find a 16A type C RCBO supplying 1x metal clad double 13A socket. From here, there...

    Bulb staying on

    I have a 6 bulb ceiling light. Just recently when i switch it off at the wall only 5 bulbs go out. Is this more likely to be a faulty light fitting or switch?

    Look at this Beauty Likely DIY job

    Potential customer has sent this photo. It is of a melted ceiling light fitting in a kitchen ! He believes this was done by a previous owner. The good news is that he recognises that he needs an electrician, bad news is that I have no ability to respond quickly. Anyone in near BS15 who would...

    Advantages/disadvantages/reasons to use PVC singles

    What are the reasons for using PVC singles in say a commercial installation such as a workshop that would use metal trunking/conduit as the containment, why not use twin and earth? All I've got so far is, 'because that's just what you do', but I'm not sure that's an adequate answer! Cheers

    Adding PIR sensor to existing outside light.

    Hi I am needing to adjust a 1 way switched outside light at a house in a couple of days to switch 2 way possibly with an ip rated switch on the way to the front door as it's only switched 1 way from inside the porch at present. I'm just thinking of instead of an exterior switch of using a...

    Steeple SMF100T inline fan vs Manrose MF100T

    Hi I made an ebay fan purchase fairly recently. I ordered what I thought was a MF100T, but was sent a Steeple SMF100T. It appears to be identical, was sent with the MF100T instructions, and has Manrose on the sticker. After a bit of internet research I've found out steeple is a Denman's own...

    Use old immersion wiring to use for Sockets?

    Just discovered the old wiring for the immersion heater. We have very few sockets in old victorian house. The immersion heater wiring was left in a terminal block wrapped up in masking tape! I changed the old wylex fuses on the CU to use MCB, thankfully I switched the 16A fuse off for the...

    Hi guys about to buy a new vehicle as my estate has just about had it. Don't really need a van so was thinking of something like Nissan Navara.

    AGA commissioning an induction cooker, are they likely to insist on a 45A supply?

    Have a customer made an enquiry about needing a 45A supply for a new AGA induction oven, as that is what is spec'd by the manufacturer. Explained diversity etc and said the existing 6mm supply will be sufficient, which he understands, but he is concerned that when the AGA installers turn up...

    Obvious question more than likely.

    Second question of mine on here and it's one I've never got round to getting an answer for. Mains comes into a building through a 60A main fuse for instance. Why then are main switches rated at 100A or 80A? Does this mean any load above 60A would blow the main fuse before it blew the main...

    Benefits of single grid switch?

    Hi all, Is there a benefit to using a grid switch if its only a 1 gang switch? Fair enough if you require a 3 or 4 gang grid switch but not if its only a 1 gang. I recently worked in a low risk mental health unit which used these. The building is fairly old so is this what was generally used...

    Fluke 6500 reset access code

    I got a Fluke 6500 PAT tester off ebay but the access code is no longer set at default (9999). I suspect the previous owner changed the code, I've contacted him but he claims to have no knowledge of the access code. Without going to Fluke and paying loads of money, is there any other way of...
