    Does it matter what wattage my new oven is?

    My Lamona oven has broke so I’m replacing it with a new one. Does it matter that the new one I’m wanting to get is 2.8kw compared to the current one at 2.4kw? Is it still safe to have or do I have to get one at the same power or lower?

    Does SPD MCB size matter?

    Does this matter? I've fitted a Fusebox consumer unit and I didn't have enough 32A MCB's but too many 6A's. The SPD is fed from a 32A one, what's the deal with swapping them around. They are voltage operated not current operated so should be fine right?

    When do amp ratings matter

    Got some amateurish questions. Please excuse me but want to set this straight in my head. Do amp ratings only matter when current is being drawn i.e. an appliance plugged in, light fitting, etc. To expand, if I have a 50amp MCB with a 1mm T&E cable going into a 5amp junction box, would that...

    Does polarity matter for an RCD?

    Hi all, I recently was given an old 2 pole Legrand RCD meant for the European market but it doesn't have any indication of which side is neutral and live, and also doesn't indicate which side the supply and load go into. A picture is attached. I've looked at the data sheet which doesn't provide...

    G4 LED's & Aurora AU-LED16T 12v constant 16W LED Driver, does it matter about the polarity ?

    Using these lights (wired in parallel) 6 x 2W is ok to use a 12V constant voltage 16W led driver Aurora AU-LED16T. My question is they are a G4 fitting which goes, either way, does the polarity of the bulb cause an issue or do electronics inside take care of this. Many thanks in advance.

    Volt drop, does it matter?

    There are two items where volt drop can have a large impact, magnetic ballast fluorescent lamps, and refrigeration units, there are some other odd items like shrink rap machines, but most items today use switch mode power supplies so volt drop would need to be rather large before it becomes a...

    The Little Things Matter...

    I just saw another thread with a photo of an arbitrary pump control panel. The wiring was poorly terminated with no crimp on lugs and lots of copper showing and the cables entered through an oversized grommet with their full weight hanging off the terminations. A lot of the time failure of...

    Extractor Hood Tripping Rcd

    Hi all. When to a job this moring RCD had tripped, narrowed it down to the kitchen sockets, but found that the RCD stayed on for about 20-30 seconds before tipping out. Unplugged everything, so I thought. Tested the RCD 1x 37ms - 36ms. 5x 11ms - 13ms. Ramp test 19.6 mA. Then I realised the...

    Panel efficiency: Why does it matter?

    I’ve been comparing various makes and models of PV panels for an 8kW project. Sales people keep on and on at me about this or that panel being ‘more efficient’ than some other, so is obviously worth the extra cost. My understanding is that the efficiency of a panel is the rate at which it...
