Come across this twice now - what's everyone doing with this I'm advising my customer it should be a bigger cable but it the old well it seems to work ok
Anyone know of anything similar to this 24 Hour / 7 Day Security Light Switch that can switch low energy bulbs of 7 to 12 watts, all the ones i have come across seem to want to only switch larger loads of 20W or more even the ones with separate fluorescent adaptors still say they are for larger...
lads i av been asked to provide a 3 phase supply for a small commercial oven. 9.5kw 10kw and 9kw. what cable size is required. i calculated 33 amps per phase. is this correct. 16mm sq cable? i just need to rum the cable about 30 meters on surface. i will run it to an isolator.hope u can help.tanx
Hi,How does everyone fill out the certs for a split load board to include the RCDS if issuing a DOMESTIC ELECTRICAL CERTIFICATE?
How do you include the details of the split loads and the submain RCD characteristics into the boxes provided?
Do you test RCD tripping times for each circuit even if...
don`t know wether it`s just the one by me in leeds or if they are all the same but a load of tools were on reduced tonight. got a 8lb sledgehammer for next to nothing, ratchet spanners, snips vde pliers, hammer scutch for 7 with a load of ends
Bought a MEM a100he,I bought it as an RCD but it has a functional earth...... is this some kind of RCBO, or do some RCDs have an FE? Never seen one on an RCD before.
Hi I was wondering if anyone could explain about circuits on phases, on sites that I work on we r given drawings with lighting circuits and power circuits and I get told we need to keep certain circuits on certain phases but dnt knw why, obv you have exp L1 L2 and L3
Just out of interest really,do any of you guys ever use black enamel steel conduit any more?.Did loads in my apprenticeship in the mid eighties,but that was probably the last time I used it.
Hi
Has anyone got a ready made chart that has the right cable size for the the load of a certain appliance ie Cooker etc
For example 2.5mmsq will do up to 21amps and the equivalent kw's etc etc
Its not for myself I want to give it to my apprentice
I can't find my regs book and I just...

im in sheffield all the cable can go for half price what...
Hi all,
Assuming a sinosoidal AC supply to a non-linear load which draws distorted current. My question is
1. how does people define non-linear load in general,is it purely resistive or it contains reactive components?
2.Assuming the distorted current waveform is in phase with the voltage,the...
