I plan to install two sub-panels using two feeder circuits originating from the...
I've an M&E client who wants me to replace a whole load of 'tired' 5v panel lamps on BMS systems for LED. My spidey sense is pricking my brain and wondering if there's some relevant standards that apply to the type of lumination for safety etc etc?? I've yet to start looking but I'm guessing...
I run a local charity raising cash to install defibrillators (AED's) around our small town in South Manchester - Most of the 14 we have installed are either in an old phone box or attached to a building with a suitable power supply available for the lockbox heater (supplies just enough heat to...

As (I believe) PAT testing includes fixed equipment connected to the electrical installation by an FCU (eg hand driers, built in ovens etc.) I have been trying to figure out if a Fire Alarm control Panel should be PAT tested and if so by who. Has this subject been addressed before? Does anyone...

Hello, everyone. First post here. And that's not a typo in the subject line. I am finishing part of my basement to put in a new master bedroom, bathroom, and closet. I was planning on putting the panel in the walk-in closet but enclosing it in a full enclosure of the appropriate size (floor to...
I recently had someone install a 50 A inlet connected to a 50 A circuit breaker on my electrical panel.
I had some issues with the job he did.
At first, he installed an outlet, and I had to make him come back to install the inlet. Then I realized that he didn’t install an interlock kit, which...
I am looking to install an A/C unit. (3.5 ton York)
I believe I need a 30 amp breaker.
My panel is full but I have two beaker spots I will not use that are next to each other. My plan would be to pull those and replace them with the new 30 amp.
Do I need to pull a permit?

Hello experts!
I ran some 6AWG wiring from my electrical service panel for a 240V outlet in my garage. The builder had provided an empty junction box with a conduit to the panel. So, all I did was fish the 4 wires and added a 50A breaker for the NEMA 14-50 outlet. See the attached picture.
My...

Hi wonder if anyone can help
Can I avoid using very expensive fire rated access panel (and just use non fire rated access panel) if the electrical connections behind the wall access panel are in a fireproof connector (metal box) with fireproof gaskets?
I have charged ahead with a small subpanel installation in a detached garage I am converting to a light-duty shop. The setup is simple, but I have been stymied by a final step. Hoping someone can help.

Evening all,
Can anyone tell me if this panel has connections for a cable to signal an automatic sliding door to automatically open when the system has alarmed?

Just wondering if anyone has come across a Honeywell "Electric Comfort Control" panel, per the attached photo, and knows anything more about it. More for curiosity than anything else. This was in a house I did an EICR for earlier this week.
