I've got myself a MFT1720.
Sadly it doesn't have any batteries in it.
Which batteries go in it ? So I can buy some. Can it be any rechargeable batteries?
Took me a while before I realised, the building is a block of 6 flats, all submains go to each flat with the meter and consumer unit located within the flats for each unit.
Do you install new heating systems? Ever had a missing cable run between a boiler and a pump?
Using MAINSLINK - the pump overrun solution - you can avoid expensive cable runs when cables are missing between a boiler and a pump. When the MAINSLINK by the boiler has 230Vac live input, this...
Hi all.
I only just noticed this, even after issuing many EICRs and EICs over the last couple of months, but in the Model Forms for Certification and Reporting starting on page 508, something rather obvious seems to be missing.
Specifically on page 510 where it asks for particulars of the...
Hi there, I run a recording studio out of an early 50's built warehouse. I've been having electrical noise and ground loops in my audio equipment since I've been here (almost a decade) and I've finally decided I can't deal with it anymore. I'm going to install a new main panel as well as new...
The property I've moved into has no light in the lounge, just 3 grey wires (each containing the live, neutral & earth wires) poking out of the ceiling rose. How do I identify which wire does what?
Just had a phone call from an existing customer.
He has just had solar panels put in, along with a very large battery.
He has a single up front 30mA RCD main switch in the CU protecting all circuits. Earthing is TNCS.
The solar installer has changed the up front 30mA RCD for a 100mA RCD...
Morning all. Just been to a domestic due to a problem on a ring. Found the issue no problem. But when I removed the cover of the CU I noticed a new supply had been wired in for the heating, however the CPC hadn't been terminated and was resting on the MET.
So having re terminated the CPC and...
Simple job, swap an MCB to an RCBO on a lighting circuit. It's got me totally stumped!
IR test L+N -> E is fine on the circuit. So is Zs. All 2-way switches operated.
Instant trip when changed to RCBO though, and tried two RCBO's
Ramp tested them both, all good. All tests pass on them with no...
Good Evening,
I have failed an EIC test, C1 lighting circuit has induced voltage on light switch screws.
The lighting circuit is on a split load CU non RCD side only MCB fitted.
All switches and pendants have a connected R2 however the CPC conductor present does not connect to any Earth, its...
Hi all
I've been ask to change another dual tarriff consumer unit (17 useable ways) I've changed a few of these in past but choice does seem limited and always seem to pay over the odds for what it is. I am considering adapting a dual rcd FuseBox consumer unit. I'm just checking am I missing...
I am fitting a new light fixture. I have done one already and now on the second one. They are exactly the same.
It is a dimmer light. It has 2 lives, 2 neutral, and a earth (the naked wires).
For the previous light I simply swapped them all out for the new light and it worked fine. This...
I'm having a bit of an issue in my own garage which I'm hoping someone will spot what's wrong...
Just done a complete refit, new board, lights, sockets all painted etc etc and always wanted a PIR so we wouldn't have to turn the lights on every time we go in! Wanted the light feed out to come...
I was replacing as outlet..when I disconnected it there were 3 wires being used RED, White and blue. none were connected to the ground so I checked another outlet on the same wall, and saw that only blue and white were being used, again nothing on the ground. White was on the top screw, on the...
Hello, I just had my house reqwired by a local company, which did include an actual electrician. They said they would give me the Part P etc. paperwork after I paid for it, which I have. but, it was a couple of months ago now, and they always give excuses about being too busy, out fo the...
Hello all
First time relocating a DB and just want to clarify my plans and check if missing anything. I have attached a photo of current DB and and the fused isolator I am intending on using. The main head is being relocated on to back wall where board currently is by U.K power.....there is...
I've had a look at the likes of the following:
In summary - run a 5 core from viessman boiler to a nest heatlink. Live and neutral to power it, then 2 cores for the control of it (plus earth).
All good, but I can't see a mains out from my boiler? And it matches the board on that YouTube video...
Hi all, I will just start by saying any advice is much appreciated. I recently brought an old Toyota hiace van d4d 2004. Quite quickly it developed a starting problem. So whether the van had been running for a while or starting it from cold it was taking longer and longer to get it to run. I...
An interesting sign has appeared on a local DNO distribution transformer, earths missing from Transformer and HV switch. Is this what is meant by a hot site?
