I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether any/all of the Quinetic grid switch modules fit in a 25mm back box?
It "looks" just about ok. But if it definitely doesn't it would be nice to know!
Hi
I'm just starting to fit EV chargers as part of our solar installs. Just looking at the tester options I currently have a Megger 1711 but this isn't suitable due to no DC RCD test.
Does everyone end up buying a new MFT or am I missing something?
cheers

I have tested directly in the local console and also with the MCT10 software, there are only the options from 8 to 11 available
I have a motor of 700W, but I...

Hi
I have an existing flood light, powered via a three core & earth (1.5mm) and it's switched.
I want to add two more lights, one for the side and one for the front.

Out of the two plans, which is the better one?
One cable out...

Below is an image of what I am planning. My gas safe...
