I would like to get some information on what protection is on a multi meter when accidentally testing a live circuit while the meter is on the ohms range?
I seem to be getting different sides to the argument.
One side says that there is no protection against this other than a audible warning...
Hi Im an apprentice and just wanted to clarify domestic style wiring since i work industrial and don't deal with conventional wiring. in college and the AM2 the only exposure to testing lighting is of a single point that may be switched either one way 2 way or intermediate. that doesn't worry me...
So checking for voltage on a brake light today on a Ford Transit 2016 custom.
The drivers side is ok, the passenger side came up no voltage and gave a reading of -0.00. Multi meter set to 20v DC
When keys are out of ignition the reading was 0.00 without the minus in front of it.
I did try the...
Just an observation.
Staircase serving 5 storeys….. how to turn on the light from any floor?

I have been asked to price a massive rewire and the entire downstairs is wooden clad walls. The wooden cladding is staying, I have to cut new boxes into it.
Will a multi tool cut the cladding neatly and quickly ?
I have never used a multi tool so any advice appreciated
The board in the picture below has 2 x RCBO's in it, they look like matches so I'm guessing schneider is the new merlin gerlin and that these RCBO's are a perfect fit?
However, Schneider seem to do other RCBO's. Easy9, acti9 and others. The Acti9 looks like it may fit this board but it is more...
Morning all..
I have just been to a regular customer who has a problem with their extractor fan, i.e it doesn't work. I have not come across these types of fans before. usually they are the small wall or ceiling mounted ones, or an in-line fan, all of which are cheap enough to just change. This...
Hiya Sparks,
I've recently acquired a robin kts1620.
It's in good clean condition but has a fault.

It's a bit strange, has anyone heard of this before...

Am I missing...

Hi forum,
I’m planning some garden lighting and would like to try an minimise the amount of cable I’m using. I have a number of different lights/circuits in one area of the garden so was planning to run a multi core cable to a convenient place then make connections from there. All the lights...
