Hi. I'm looking at replacing 5 aging (barely working controls) Atlantic electric heaters in a 2 bedroom flat with wifi enabled ones.
I have ordered from Amazon a Devola Wifi Heater 2 KW but I will return it, the switching relay makes a loud clang when it turns on or off.
Silent and simplicity...

We are looking for a distribution board to provide 3 * 160A three-phase feeds, but they are basically redundant supply path options so max total is 160A as well. I had been looking at using a Hager MCCB panel (as we generally have been using their MCB DBs) but many of them are limited to 125A...
The big stately home I’ve been working in has an EMS 5096 alarm system with over 100 detectors and 3 (that I know of) panels.
All detectors are battery powered and radio back to its closest panel. All panels are also radio linked together.
They get the odd fault code which is usually a flat...

I have a detached garage with a 60 AMP subpanel which has lost power. I traced the failure to the wire running under the walkway via conduit (about 15 ft) and can see it fried on the detached garage side. I suspect age, critters and or water got to it and shorted it out.
If I replace the wire...

I am adding a 60 AMP subpanel for a detached garage/workshop with a 200 foot underground conduit run from the main panel to the sub panel. Planning to use schedule 40 PVC. I have consulted with a local electrical inspector and determined that I should use 2 2 2 4 Aluminum THHN/THWN. However he...
Short version: does code specify a minimum distance from the panel to the first grounding rod, and if so, what is that distance?
Long version:
Our house (built in the late 1950's) has an electrical system which is grounded to the water system. There is a grounding cable that runs straight...
OK to add a 50 Amp breaker in this panel for a 220V EV Charger? Maybe swap some single 20 Amp breakers for dual 20 amp breakers?

Hello!
I'm needing some help. I'm wiring in a start panel, using a spst toggle, and a (momentary?) push button. The idea is to flip the switch to energize the accessories, and the fuel pump, (I believe that's all I'd need with the switch,) and then hit the push button to start the engine...
