Hi. My mother bought a miguard g5 system a few years ago. It looks like the control panel has given up on her!
She has all the sensors around her home already but the control panel appears to be obsolete now. Am I correct in thinking that any 433mhz control panel will work with the sensors she...
We have a Electrical PLC Control Panel that has to supply 45 Fused Spur units, do I need to protect these with an RCD, we have a 10A Type D MCB at the moment.
Each Fused spur controls an electronic Volume/Pressure controller which is rated at 130mA.
Hi, I am replacing 2 fluorescent light fixtures that were wired wrong with 2 LED panel lights with 2 3-way switches attached, where one has a 0-10v dimmer.
Both 3-way switches (with 3 wire romex) go to a ceiling box where there is also a feed which I will use for theses lights.
Can anyone send...
I have a 20w 110v LED.
when i connect leads to the L and N posts the light works!
when I turn it off, there is still a very faint energizing of the LED.

Does the FAT prong correspond to the L or the N?
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...

Hello I’m a non electrician home owner seeking professional advice on a quote I received for installation of a Tesla home wall charger in Madison, WI. The 200 amp electrical panel is from 1968 and has only only one available slot and the charger requires two. The quote seems high, what do you...
Hi All. I'm wiring a loft conversion, 2 small bedrooms and landing with separate ring circuit feeding 6 socket outlets and lighting circuit. Owners do not wish to extend their CH system and asked me to install 500W IR panel in each bedroom.

Hello. I have an optima xm6 alarm system. Could someone tell me the best and safest way to check a battery fuse on the board. Do i need to turn off the mains to the control panel or not as the board has an output of only 12v dc being stepped down by the transformer. Would it then be ok to...
Hopefully someone who works with these regularly can hit me with some sort of tip here. Hotel owner I know decided to change all his detectors now it’s coming up general fault on the panel. I’m guessing he hasn’t noted in & out on cables before replacing but he’s sure he did. He also says it’s...
Installing an over the range microwave, ran the (yellow) wire to the box, but where can I attach the ground and neutral wires? The one bus on the right is full, the second bus on the right is empty, but can I use it? Nothing else is attached to it.
I have a panel transformer with the input options of : 415V 220V 0V and output options of 110V. I’m using this so the control panel will run 110V and not 415 or 220. I have a three phase supply and how would I wire this into the transformer and also how do I wire the output. Where does 0V go and...
Hi all. I'm considering replacing a dual supply storage heater with a panel heater.
There's the timed off-peak radial supply and the ring main available to power the panel heater, so I'm wondering if there's a way to take advantage of the cheaper radial supply when it's active, and switching...
Good afternoon! As I said in the title, I'm not trying to DIY anything, just trying to understand what was done by the electrician.
According to our 4pt inspection, we had a 100amp main panel(outside with the meter can) and 100amp Challenger subpanel in the garage. We had to change the...
Hi all,
Complete novice here, but I'm trying to learn.
I am making a solar powered, back-lit estate/ driveway entrance sign, and am stuck regarding the correct wattage, amperage, etc for the panel and battery.

I need to change the door on a Bosch fridge freezer KGN49AI30G
Looks like a straightforward job apart from the requirement to remove the display panel built into the front of the door.
I can't see any gaps that would let me prize it out. Can anyone give me any tips on how to remove this without...
Hi,
