    Feeder Wire - Wire Insulation is slightly under lug. Is this an issue?

    This is a 2/0 CU Feeder wire coming into the main subpanel on a 200A service. There are no nicks in the copper wire and from the front side everything looks good. But upon further inspection, the tiniest bit of wire insulation is under the lug on the back side. Does this pose any type of...

    RCD trips when screw touches lug

    DIY question. I have been changing old metal socket faceplates to the normal plastic ones. All are working fine except the faceplate of a fused switch. Everything works fine when it isn’t screwed. It is a fused spur for a light in the conservatory. The light works fine when the screws are off...

    Tiny u lug for 6awg?

    Removing a corroded lug

    Hi, Does anyone know of a way to remove a corroded lug holding the neutral wire to a neutral bar in a meter socket? It’s completely stuck and I'm afraid of breaking the neutral bar if too much force is used, cause then we will have to replace the entire meter socket (it seems like they don't...

    fly leads from back boxes with secure fixing lug?

My point is, what if you had a metal 1 gang switch and you terminated your earth into the earth connection on the switch. I understand that when it's screwed back it would make contact with the metal back via the secure...
