    Replacing loop in at switch with WiFi switch

    good evening. I have recently acquired a Sonoff T1 UK wifi light switch which requires a neutral wire for permanent power to the switch electronics. I would like to fit it to a 1-gang 1-way switch that I currently have in my bedroom, which is switching two light roses. The house is modern and...

    Loop in and out at switch

    Hi, looking to wire 3 gang switch loop in and out method 1st switch is One way 2nd switch is One way 3rd is Two way With my loop in, I go from 1st switch COM and link to 2nd switch COM then link to 3rd switch L1, all neutrals in a wago with my loop out in L1 also, then 1st switch T+E to light...

    6A MCB Tripping on Earth Fault Loop Impedance Test

    Hi, just finished a partial rewire at my sisters house and when testing the two lighting circuits (up&down) the 6AMCB trips for both circuits individually, I thought the MCBs might just be sensitive to the test but the smoke alarm circuit also 6A is fine when testing, R1+R2 and IR test all fine...

    Earth fault loop impedance, initial verification, multiple DB

    Hello. Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in (still trying to work out where the trainee section is). Just been doing some practice fault-finding online. Found this scenario: After doing initial verification on an outbuilding with its own DB, which is supplied from the main DB...

    earth fault loop impedance calculation

    hello all could anyone help me i am doing my 2392 and i am a little stuck i have been asked a question which is using the following measured value of loop impedance 0.5 (40amp bs en 60898 type b mcb) ferfering to the maxium tabulated value given 1.15 show by calculation if the measured value is...

    Potential earth loop impedance issues for second floor flat

    Hello! After years of renting I'm currently in the process of purchasing our first property. We've had an offer accepted on a 1 bedroom flat in Surrey. However there are questions over the electrics, and knowing little about electrical wiring I'm a bit stumped on how bad the electrics are and...

    Adiabatic equation infinite loop

    So I'm looking into the thermal constraints of every cable in my 2396 project. I've used the adiabatic equation in a spread sheet and 99% of them are fine with the CPC I have selected. However, there are a few really short circuits with very low earth fault loop impedance. Because of this the...

    Earth fault loop impedance - textbook values vs BS7671

    Hello. I'm in the final stages of completing my electrician course, and I find myself confused (again) by EFLI. In the textbook provided is this: Uo 230V see below for each circuit. Calculate the maximum Zs for each circuit: Complete the table. The answers given in the textbook are said to...

    I can now do a junction "box" mf in 20 secs, switch loop and feed

    So, although as you know, I am not a tool tart I have invested in this little time saver. As you can see from the piccy you have two splitters and two switch JB and stripper (up to 2.5mm² T&E) but the jb only take 1mm/1.5mm². This is a wise investment not just a tool for a week and then gets...

    Loop at switch - 2 gang switch

    Hi All, I am new to the site and have recently started doing more and more electrical work in my house, nothing too major, changing face plates, light fittings etc, however I have encountered an issue that I cannot sort out. I have a 2 gang light switch where it is looped in the switch. Nothing...

    Closed loop Sensor monitoring

    Hello, How are closed loop sensors like the below and monitored integrated into a control system, isolation switches/switch amplifiers? These are typically used on explosion panels where when they blow off it snaps the cable or ceramic plate causing an open circuit. (I’m Prepared for the...

    Low voltage Leds for serial loop.

    Hi folks. I'm guessing this forum is for larger electrical applications than this, and if anyone can point me to a more relevant site please do. But I thought I'd give you guys a punt. I have a need to put 5 leds in a 1:10 remote controlled vehicle. There isn't room (without it looking...

    Refurb works In offices

    Just your thoughts on this one,doing a part refurb on existing offices,no initial verification or certs found anywhere. Premises rewired bout 1990,adding sockets here & there in each room. The DB is a Crabtree Tpn polestar,just finished some loop readings ,& not good,1.49 the highest,there is...

    Loop Impedance Testing - Strange fault code

    Being doing a domestic bathroom refurb', lighting, altering shower circuit (have a Megger 1730 MFT). History, property has no RCD protection, but as it was a Hager CU, had contemplating using RCBO's (TN-C-S supply). Before doing any work, I decided to clamp the meter tails, as the property has...

    Earth loop impedance measurement affected by dimmer switch

    Working on a job today which included a very simple new lighting circuit. The lighting circuit a very short run from a distribution board to a single switch position, which then supplies a single luminaire. The customer wanted a dimmer switch to control the fitting. To crack on and perform the...

    loop impedance, temperature, cable factor....

    Hello I'm not sure if this is the correct forum area to post this in, apologies if it isn't... I've been working through some mock questions on-line, and found myself confused by this: The measured value of loop impedance for a circuit is 0.83ohm. If the temperature at the time of the test was...

    External earth loop Ze with switched fuse before CU

    Got a job where im having to do the usual testing. I have never tested a set up where due to the tails needing to being so long to reach the consumer unit there has been a switched fuse, this is i believe a standard directive from the DNO the tails then terminate into swa and run from the...
