    EICR - C2 for low voltage cable

    Hi, I have just had an EICR carried out and it has comeback with a few C2s. The only one I disagree with is the electrician raised as a C2 the fact that under the kitchen cabinets there are some LED strips with exposed single insulated cables. All these exposed cables are low voltage (24v)...

    12v Caravan circuitry

    I have a portable fridge in the caravan. It errors when connected to the fridge circuit in the van but does not error if I connect it directly to the andersson plug input to the van. The fridge has L/M/H cutout circuit and if the voltage gets low the fridge is designed to cut out and error...

    Low Voltage Dimmer Help

    I recently purchased these pathway lights: https://a.co/d/f08tuaE After installing them I realized they're too bright, so I installed one of these dimmers: https://a.co/d/3tf17Su The dimmer doesn't dim the lights very much. They go from extremely bright to very bright. They are on a 14v...

    Low voltage light mystery

    I have undercabinet lights that are low voltage. They work xenon pucks just fine. I want to convert to low voltage LEDS. Supposedly these are 12V DC but when I hook 12V DC LED pucks up, they don't work. There is a switch to turn these on that is 120 volts. Somewhere buried behind the wall...

    Malibu Light Timer photocell function not working

    Hi all, I have a Malibu 120W Light timer for low voltage outdoor lights. When I manually set to ON, the lights go on, so I know the lights are wired correctly. But the timer is set to run off the photocell: lights on at dusk, and off 4 hours after dark. However the lights do not turn on at...

    Low voltage in 120 circuit ?

    I have a voltage of 23v coming through a light socket in my house (There is a rely that is likely the cause but I’m not certain 1950s house) when I look up charts on how much energy it takes to power a light bulb it’s very low- or I’m not understanding something. I know the resistance on the...

    Is there an outdoor socket for this type of low voltage plug?

    I have bought some net led lights that are permanently installed outside. The problem is, I don't have an outdoor socket. And the socket in the shed is too far away. I can buy an extension to the low voltage lead, for around £10 delivered, but I'd ideally like to plug it in outside. All the...

    2010 Ford Taurus SHO - Low 5V Reference Circuit low voltage was fixed but back

    I could really use some guidance as I'm at my witts end... I have a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO with a low 5V Reference Signal (P0642). I first had this issue a couple months ago. I ruled out the three sensors on this circuit as I still had <1V with all sensors unplugged. I changed the computer but...

    Power transformer Low voltage supply

    I recently installed a 200kva, 33/0.400 KV transformer for a small commercial hostel, so after powering the transformer, we checked all the output of the 3 phase at the secondary side and it was ok but whenever a single air conditioner is powered , then the voltage becomes low. Please guide me...

    Chaining extension cords with low voltage devices

    I know there is a risk of chaining extension cords and everyone recommends against it. But I've also read all extension cords should be temporary and not used for more than 90 days - if you want something permanent you needs to install electrical receptacles (outlets). I know a lot of people use...

    Low voltage over several circuits?

    I extended a bedroom in my basement and had to move a couple outlets from the knocked down wall to the new wall. After, I was sanding down the drywall mud and forgot to completely shut the door of the main panel (which is in the corner of the room). Soon after, I went upstairs and noticed the...
