I know I’ve seen them before…. But I can’t think of a name.
I’m needing a line of metal back boxes in a kitchen… 2 lots of 2x 2 gang and a 1 gang. I just want them to look evenly spaced.
I could do it with a couple of brass bushes and a steel conduit coupling, but I’m sure I’ve seen a plastic...
Noticed when I tried to put a link to the IET Electrical website (about an update/corrigendum to the Wiring Regs) that the forum strips/anonymises the URL.
I can (sort of, reluctantly), understand the reasons for not wanting links to certain commercial/competing/spammy websites, but surely a...
Hi,
We are installing electrical equipment into domestic houses. This equipment needs to be monitored 24/7 by an internet connection, back to our office. An ethernet port on the equipment allows this internet connection to be made.
The equipment is not usually installed near the household...
Hi,
So I was reading the notes on regulation 531.3.5.3.2.201 (Page 156) today and noticed Note 1 that consideration should be given (Where TT earthing is present) to the manufacturer's internal line cable links on the supply side of an RCD being insulated AND sheathed! Does anyone know of any...
Hi folks,
Can anyone tell me more about a fuse link (I came across several in a communal cupboard today) . Was not expecting this and immediate thought was Bodget and Scarper had been here. Best described as a brass link similar to a piece of galv pipe inserted in place of a BS88..hence my concern!
Looking to buy a house and took some pictures of the electrics. They seem old so I am after some advice on if it needs a rewire. The last 2 pictures are of the additional installation of a downstairs shower room.
Don't know which website allows the adding of photos.

I have done some work for a security company . There is nobody at the office this week who can help me solve the following problem I am having, so I thought I would try this forum.
I am trying to get a light to switch on only when it is dark (a light sensor is open) and a gate sensor is...
Hi all,
I am looking for somewhere that supplies internal consumer unit links, as my wholesalers say they cannot get them and I do not want to buy a whole consumer unit just for the links. I have thought about using meter tails but as the consumer unit I need them for is fairly busy they wont...
"Hello All",
I noticed tonight that a couple of Links to products appeared in a message that I posted - How / Why would this be happening ?
For example I wrote `28mm Diamond Core bit` and `bathroom Vent Axia` in a message earlier to Member gnselectrical about Diamond Core bits - this...

Enclosed is a picture of a mains incoming supply to a block of flats as you probably already know. Now ignoring the odvoius faults (no blank plates) i am assuming that the red fuse carriers should infact be replaced with actual fuses??!! Out of shot is the landlords dis. board of which i was...
Hey pepes.
I'm a bit new to Ryefield boards, so maybe an obvious one.
While installing the Ryefield boards in the risers to feed the flats in a tower block (40 floors), we were told to remove the PME links from within the boards.
Should there only be a link at the supply, as it is a PME system...
Hello every one, my first post. a bit slow I know but have been amused over the past year reading the many topical and sometimes very funny replies, albeit some very sarky ones aswell I will not mention any names!. I have been asked to install internet and sky to every room in a couple of one of...
