Hi All,
My colleague and I are currently doing PAT/ISITEE Testing, and we've hit a snag with a bit of equipment - we've got 19" Racks for our equipment that each have a Surge Protected Extension Lead mounted into them, they're Class I, and we test them on 250V. Earth Cont. and IEC Cont. are...
Apparently Dimplex only guarantee their heaters if they are permanently wired in to a fused outlet. If the socket is only about 600mm from the heater and the cable is clipped to the wall or skirting board instead of trailing across the floor then what's the difference? Any thoughts?
I've got a twin socket behind a wall mounted TV but the bracket I have is so slim that the TV won't hang when the plugs in the socket.
Can you get some sort of fused spur which fits on a twin backbox?
Thanks
I am connecting a manual transfer switch to a subpanel. In order to minimize drywall work, I am mounting the transfer switch to the surface of the drywall. The subpanel is flush mounted (even with the surface) to the drywall. There are 14 THHN wires that need to get from the junction box into...
Does it make a difference?
My FILs bathroom fan had stopped working, and after checking power was where it needs to be, conclusion is fan is faulty
“I could have told you that… it doesn’t work!”
The fan isn’t too old, and I’m wondering if the way it’s been mounted is causing too much strain...

Hi guys is there any regulations regarding 110v centre tapped transformer transformer circuits being used outside (rcd protected) also if the transformer states 3000Va but a continuous rating of 1650Va am I right in thinking it can only carry 15amps before the transformer overloads?
I’m following an electrician and he has fitted a couple of boards sideways
And has said he spoke to manufacturers and they said it’s ok(that old chestnut)
It’s something I’ve never seen and I started when wham were in the charts.I’m testing them need people’s opinion plz
Apologies if this question is not in the right section.
As per title, I am considering a wall mounted tv in my kitchen.
Whilst i have one in my main living room, it is above a stand so displaying wires was sorted and there is a power outlet below which made things easy.
I have a couple of...
Hi all,
Hopefully picked the right place to post about this..!
I've just completed an EICR and there was a second board mounted to the water cylinder which does both the hot water and heating.
It's in an apartment (I'm assuming every flat will be the same).
I've told the landlord that I need...
Hi all,
Hope you are all well and all is good!
Can anyone recommend a nice looking garden light that can be surface mounted with side or bottom entry, e.g. can be retro fitted with surface mounted cabling?
Thanks in advance,
Martin
Evening all, have yet to fit a flush mounted CU, may have one in an upcoming job, a quick google seems to only throw up Hager boards as an option. Are there many other options out there, only got 6 circuits but would ideally like to leave a couple of spare ways, SPD, prefer RCBO's.....
Is there...
I've just recently had the shell of an extension built and will be doing most of the interior except for electrics and gas.
I'm planning to chase the walls for where I'll bed in the new conduit to the location of sockets etc before any plastering is done and know the regs on the minimum and...
Had a quote today at a new build where they've not bothered to put any facility for a doorbell.
Customer has purchased a Ring Wireless Pro, which comes with it's own 24VAC DIN rail mounted transformer.
Given the location of the CU, it is not the simplest path for a cable run, so looking at...
Hi,
I'm new to the forum and working on a van conversion - I also dabble in guitar pedals!
I have a wall mounted LED controller hooked up to my down-lights. I'd like to be able to turn the circuit on/off at another location in the vehicle (i.e. to make a 2 way circuit). Is it possible to add...
Hi, I need to install a ceiling mounted pir sensor however the ones I have previously fitted look cheap and obtrusive, is there any that you guys have fitted that are small and not so crappy looking?
Fyi unfortunately I can not fit a recessed one
Trying to replace a single run, approx 3M with no bends, of a single 1.5mm twin & earth cable between 2 lighting points in a domestic space. Cable to be mounted IN the ceiling & plastered over. Both points to carry an LED light fitting so minimal current. Is it safe to use 10mm conduit? BS7671...
Currently struggling a bit to find suitable lights to fit above a garage door on the soffit. The soffit has a solid joist/beam directly above it so recessed lighting isn't an option, but the customer doesn't want anything too high profile - just wants ambient lighting for the front of the garage...
Hi, I am replacing a “fizzing” start /stop switch on a metal framed woodworking machine , with an NVR switch with emergency stop. The machine itself is mounted on nylon castors which presumably insulate the machine electrically from ground. My question is therefore, where do I attach the earth...
