I currently have a light fixture on a switch loop and would like to add a second light that would be powered by the same switch. Can you add a second fixture? Forgive my novice picture, but if so, is this an allowable setup?
Looking for advice on how to re-connect a ceiling rose loop connector.
I am trying to achieve room 1 and room 2 lights to be independently on and off. This previously worked until i decided to try and change the fitting without taking a photo of the wires as they were when working. Yes i know...
I moved into a house that had a double gang switch downstairs that controlled a downstairs and upstairs hallway lights. You could turn the upstairs one on from downstairs and off upstairs etc. The downstairs hallway light was just controlled by the downstairs switch. I want to disconnect any...
Seized Filling Loop Tap Hi, any ideas on how I can get this seized tap to turn? I can get it replaced in a couple of weeks but I need to fill the boiler as the pressure is on the low side. Any ideas what size they are so I can have it ready for the plumber when he comes?

Hi Guys
Recently finished a new build house.
Commissioning engineer came in the other day (2nd visit whilst I wasn't there) and mentioned we need to put a pipe stat on the secondary loop pump.
We've only ever wired these as on/ off time controlled.
Apparently it's regs (heating engineer we...
Boiler filling loop Hi, is there anywhere you can just buy a boiler filling loop, ie without the shut off valves on the loop, already have all the connections fitted below my boiler.

Hi all new to the forum
Learning the trade as an improver, trying to get my head round something.
When taking a feed from the light switch to the fan.
Normally I would P live in Com and SL in L1
So had to attach a three core then up to fan, so does permanent stay in Com or go down to L1...
Hi all, DIY'er here looking for a bit of advice so please go easy on me.
In my dining room there is an existing single pendant and i would like to add 4x downlights. I have looked at the wiring behind the ceiling plate and it is the usual, (Switch Line) (Loop Out x3) (Loop In) the 3x Loop Outs...
Hi All,
I'm new to Amtech/Trimble and I've been asked to review a model.
I'm looking at circuits that are SWA cables using the armour and an internal conductor as the CPC. There are various earth loop impedance errors listed where the Zs at the load end is too high, but what I can tell, Amtech...
G99 SGI-3 4.4 kw set export limit phase to neutral loop impedance test on site
0.309 ohms and dno max being 180 m ohms or 0.018 ohms so site reading are well over the top or is this not unuall for 1950 lead cable TN-s
Hi all ,
The measured value of loop impedance for a circuit is 2.4Ω. If the temperature at the time of the test was 20°C and the cable is 70°C (factor 1.2) what is the corrected value. Ze = 0.4Ω:
the answer that I got is 2.8 but according to my calculations it would be 2.88 ohms follow up my...
I'm moving a socket installed on a lighting circuit (installed by previous owner who was a professional electrician so I assume he knew what he was doing). The socket is used only used for a lamp which is controlled by a wall switch.
I've installed new/moved sockets previously and always check...
I just finished a garden room supply. The customer already had a CPN garage consumer unit that the last sparks left there, brand new in box, and with some misgivings I agreed to use it.
It came to testing.
Zs@DB of 0.3 ohms in garden room.
CPN RCD main switch tripped x1 at 21ms

This weekend I was replacing a hall light fixture in my old home (rewired circa 1980/90's) and noticed the work was done using one of the exposed ground wires as one of the switch leg/loop travelers on a 3-way. Obviously, this is completely wrong and a fire hazard, so I decided to try to rework...
Confused as to what the earth fault loop is. I'm aware it's the path that fault current takes (Line-Earth) but how many times does fault current "loop"?
I have a box powering three 3-phase motors off of one 240V single phase line, NEMA 10-30. In the picture you can see a wiring diagram. The original wiring I had was one box containing all those components. It would cause over-current errors on the right-side (1 HP) VFD when I didn't have fuses...
Hi, I am wanting to add a couple of wall lights to a room that currently has a single ceiling rose. Attached are photos of the one gang switch and the ceiling rose. I wish to change the one gang switch for a two gang switch, so that one switch operates the current ceiling rose while the other...
Two related questions in 1, if anyone is up for helping! (i) When electricians install supplies, is there anything in the regs that says how many milliohms they need to include for equipment cables? I have been told "no", that the loop impedance is only up to the outlet. Now I am an R&D engineer...
I had a look at a property with this old service head. It's a looped supply, the met is just a bolt and the tn-s earth is questionable. There's also a knockout missing on the side. I'll recommend the DNA are contacted to look it over.
I was wondering what the insides are like? If there's a...
