    315A sub-main options

    A potential customer of ours was asking about having more power made available. Just now it is just a casual request and it looks like they want 9-10 * 32A TPN supplies so, say, 315A total. We can get that much easily from the bus-bar chamber around 100m away but from a moment on an on-line...

    I goofed, what are my options?

    Long story short, I forgot to mark where my cables were prior to installing laminate. I accidently skimmed the side of a cable for one of the electric heating pads under the laminate when drilling a hole in the laminate for closet doors. Right now, I'd rather have the heating pad working than...

    What are my options for replacing fuse panel????

    I have an older house that was built in stages back around 1960 as far as I can surmise. Highly suspect that the entire house was a DIY job. I've been unraveling the wonky wiring since day one. The original part of the house was wired with a fuse panel and 12 gauge wiring without grounds. I'm a...

    Faced with a switch drop suffering from having architrave screwed over it. Not overly experienced in domestic work so looking for some options on how to deal with it. My first thought was to have the contractor take the architrave off & then to hack out and joint behind the architrave, but...

    Broken Fluorescent Ballast - no longer available - options?

    I have a bathroom mirror with 2 x 21W fluorescent T5 tubes and an IR sensor. The tubes switch off after a few minutes. I have changed the tubes and the fault persisted. I checked the output from the IR switch and it was 240V so that leaves the ballast as faulty. The problem is the ballast is...

    I'm in need or around 20-30 power sockets for small electrical devices, less than 1amp each. At the moment I have a bunch of extension leads all running to the same 2 or 3 plug sockets, is this safe or should this be avoided? I have seen this cabinet type set up, which has 10 sockets inside...
