    Main Bonding with a crimped lug fixing!

    Hey All, At college, I was taught that main bonding - such as bonding to a gas pipe - must be carried out using a continuous copper conductor running directly from the Main Earthing Terminal (MET) to the pipework, with no extensions or alterations permitted. If the bonding cable is damaged or...

    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...

    Any decent lug crimpers for 10mm onwards?

    I’ve got some lug crimping tool called iwiss off Amazon and when crimping a 10mm cable into a lug I had to use 10mm on one side and 6mm on the other side of the crimper. Not sure how well it will work when it gets to bigger cables 😕. Are there any decent lug crimpers at a reasonable price?

    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...

    No doubt this might sound a bit ---- to some but I think its a fair question: Back boxes - I as I'm sure most people have built up quite a collection over the years.
