Hi , I have an asphalt testing machine and would like to add a surge protector to it. I have single phase 240 coming into a 40 amp main breaker on my machine. What size of surge protector should I get and how would I wire it to the machine?
Hi guys

My wife has an old Singer sewing machine, model number 327K that has now run into problems.
The problem is that as soon as you plug it in it starts to run without using the foot pedal.
I have read some articles on the internet where they say that the problem has been solved by simply removing...
Hi all,
It's our second winter in our new house and have been getting used to the electric underfloor heating. Still fixing some wiring issues (conductors/layouts) thanks to Marconi's help.
Last winter we just used our log stove and A/C units in the bedrooms and it was not warm enough. Hard...
Hi Guys
Can anyone advise which way around the pressure switch should be wired.
See the two photos, the oval switch is the existing one but I'm not sure how they should fit on the new switch?
Thanks for any help

Hi all
I would like your opinion on the set up my landlord is presenting me before he gets (his own) electrician in.
we will be moving in soon and in the utility room we will be taking 2 tumble dryers and 2 washing machines. (At the moment in our current house we can only use a max of 2...
Now chaps,
Will a radial circuit on a 20amp rcbo be enough to power a washing machine, dishwasher, dryer and fridge freezer?
At the moment the radial has a 2 gang to power 2 appliances and a 1 gang to power fridge freezer, possibility of spuring of this circuit to power an extra appliance...
Can anybody please offer any guidance with the following problem.
The power button doesn't work but when turned off at the socket, left a few seconds and turned back on, the lights briefly come on.
The history so far is here.
Hi there, I have purchased a machine from Europe. It is 380v. Our usual electrician is unsure how to install and whether we need a transformer. Can anyone help?
If we do need a transformer can someone please point me in the right direction as, so far, layman's googling has failed me.
Thank you...
I have a machine which is wired as 3 phase neutral and earth and is 15.1KW, there are no 415v components and all components are 230v, so effectively it is using 3 single phase circuits, however I have always carried out the circuit breaker calculation based on the 415V potential, I.E> 15120W...
Two of us have had a shock from a lead that had been disconnected from a Singer sewing machine several hours earlier.
The machine is fairly new and not been heavily used.
The shock was definitely stronger than just static.
My concern particularly is that this is a machine being used with...
Hi
I run a mobile coffee hut and have just bought a new coffee machine and new 7.5 KW Generator.
The coffee machine is on 13 amp plug but requires 32 amp feed. I used it on weekend on 16 amp feed off Genny. My question is can I connect machine direct to Genny (ie not through hits fuse box) and...
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone could take an educated guess as to the source of the issue. My suspicion is that the switch/contact that registers a closed lid is faulty, or perhaps the controller circuit has failed somehow. But I have zero experience with washing machines, so my opinion counts for...
Hi guys I work for a small vending machine company and at this present time they supply power to a unit using an extension lead shock I know it’s not the most ideal solution but I was thinking that I need to redesign the supply systems inside the unit
They get the supply from a plug socket which...
Anyone seen a non-standard mains plug like this on a standard domestic washing machine? Why would you do it? Any reason not to replace with a standard 13A plug?
just wondering what are people’s recommendation on labelling machines?
I’ve been looking at the following from screwfix:
https://www.screwfix.com/p/brother-pte110vp-electricians-label-printing-machine/3453x
Aside from that one they jump to £80 and then to £170
I'm sure its been asked a thousand times but I can't seem to find it.
Just moved into new house and plan on installing a compact dishwasher. Unfortunately there is only one socket available which currently has the washing machine plugged in.
How awful would it be to plug a 2-way 13A block plug...
