I have old home that still has a fuse panel in the basement. However, last week I was trying to find the fuses for the lights and outlets upstairs but couldn't find anything . So I started poking around in the attic and found this...
SOMEONE HAS REMOVED THE SPADE CONNECTORS FROM THIS DIMPLEX PLX1250 PANEL HEATER, JUST NEED CLARITY ON WHERE THEY RE-CONNET TO ?
THE FLEX FROM FUSED OUTLET ISNT SHOWN IN PICTURE
THANKS
I am trying to understand the amperage flow in my 200 amp main panel.
In theory, (example only), let's say you had a 200 main panel installed with (7) single pole 20 amp breakers on each hot leg.
So (14) single pole breakers total ...
For the sake of this example let's further assume you had...
Hello everyone,
I would be happy to hear your opinion about wiring RCBO inside switchboboards, panels. Here I attached some example.
We have 9 (F1-F9) RCBOs, each 20A. If we connect first one (F1) with 16mm2 wire to first phase busbar, second (F2) with 16mm2 to second phase busbar and third (F3)...
Can you provide more information about the brightness/intensity of the U 64 LED Matrix Panel from AZ-Delivery? Specifically, what is the maximum brightness of the panel in nits, and how does this compare to other LED matrix panels on the market? Are there any factors that can affect the...
Hi,
Obvously im not an electrician, but i can just replace this broken "fuse box" at this heater with insulated crimps instead or something similar, without blowing up the house? Not sure what the connection is in the broken one (see attached). Has this odd metal bit on the back of it. Any...
I'm upgrading my old 100A panel to 200A solar ready, semi flush, overhead. Panel is Square D SC2040M200PF (see brochure and technical drawing). I have a 280 page PDF from the utility describing service entry requirements, and I found a pretty good drawing. But a couple things aren't clear...
Hi All, I am new to the forum.
I have a small 30 amp sub panel that once powered a green house, some lights and 1 regular 120-v outlet. We have since removed the greenhouse and it's associated wiring and now the sub panel is an eye sore and in an unsafe location as it is low, at outet...
I’m installing a driveway gate and need two sets of photocells in series to stop gates when car is in the way of either pair. The set that came with the kit are straight forward, both units have a + and -. The receiver has the contact that’s closed when there is nothing in the way. Another...
Went to investigate zero output on solar system and discovered a damaged panel.
But what surprised me was the damage (Obvious heat damage) to the underlying sub-frame and roof membrane.
The DC cabling was surprising un-marked.
Client is adamant that there had been no impact damage!
Electrician saw white on breakers (see pic) and says I must replace whole panel with a larger one because it’s overloaded and dangerous. Does this sound right?

I have installed an emergency whole-house breaker switch next to my service meter. This will now be the main panel and I have subsequently tied my two grounds from grounding rods into the new panel.
The the original main panel...
Hi all,
Some background on this question: I am UK-based, and I work with robotics and automation, so have experience with PLC programming, robot programming and installation, certification of robot cells, etc. Something that I have so far not had much exposure to is the design and build of...
I am looking to add an 80 amp sub panel for my detached wood shop. The smallest sub panel I can find has a 100 amp main breaker in the panel.
Would it be ok to use this panel, and just connect to an 80 amp breaker in the main panel?
Thank you!
I have a Single Phase Power box for a townhouse. When I read voltage across the Hot legs (A) and (B) to ground I get 123 volts with the main breaker turned off. With all the circuit breakers turned off and powering up the main breaker to the panel I still have 123 volts across both (A) and (B)...
Hello everyone
i recently got a job on replacing a BMS panel in a plant room. the NEW panel i installed except the control side of the install also feeds the mains for a few gas boilers, immersion heaters and cylinders, pumps. etc. I am going to do the testing on that and i...
Just an idle thought - has anyone any experience of using the DC output of solar panels to directly feed an immersion heater, to avoid the expense and losses associated with an inverter? Evidently, a changeover relay would be required to utilise the usual 240V AC supply at times of low or zero...
We have a family friend who has a son with Autism who keeps breaking the TVs with the rmeote control. His mum has asked us if we can help, having broekn 3 TVs!
I have found a protective TV cover, but I need to add a control to it, so he can switch it on/off, channel up/down and volume up/down...
Grateful for a kick in the right direction on the following: a telecomms engineer stated out that an outdoor metal cabinet (earthed & bonded) was an unsuitable enclosure for a network switch and patch panel to be installed into, as it was not IP rated.
As it happened, the size of the cabinet...
