Good afternoon!
In my house, I have a three-phase power system and this RCD that's rated for 40 A max and 30 mA leakage current. It keeps constantly tripping on loads larger than a phone charger (ie an electric kettle or toaster). This house is to EU standards (I live in Latvia).
I'm wondering...
Hi.
I want to control a TV Lift from a home automation system. Its hasn't got any standard way of doing this and the person setting the home automation needs to know just a few things to get it working.
Ive had an electrician look at the control box and motor, he's figured out that the...
Pete can't post all the clips, here's one I came across!
I like the chap. A cross between Pete and Tel perhaps :D
I think you need to have had a few beers as it goes on for a bit.
Happy New year everyone.
I do hope you have all had a good Christmas. I personally am happy that all the mayhem has died down and things are getting back to normal!
I must say I have not spent as much time on the site since it has changed. I can't put my finger on why not. It just doesn't seem...
Afternoon all,
Just about to work on upstairs sockets but thought I'd share this little experience with you from earlier today when we reconnected a cooker.
Saw a curious bit of something sticking out of the wall, took the front off ....
I have replied to a thread about this but perhaps thought a thread of its own would be handy.
I consider myself to be quite good at writing CV's. A few of my friends have had me do theirs. And their business plans even (perhaps for another thread and time).
If you attach your CV in a reply...
Anybody going to this Confrence?

Do you guys do this sort of thing?
Anybody go any other exhibitions or events? Perhaps we have a calendar type thing on the forum and all whack them in?
Perhaps even start meeting at a few for food...
As per title, I started the attached thread http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/threads/please-read-this-guys.112411/
And Pete999 Raised a good point and the first suggestion to the thread.

Hi everyone,
Hoping for some advice here.
Situation is that I decided to retrain at 27 and due to mortgage and bills I could not afford to take 3+ years as an apprentice on very low wages. I took the decision to take a number of courses at Able Skills in Dartford and use my savings to pay...
Morning....
I usually have a very clear idea over what is notifiable and what is not, but I'm not sure with this one!
If a consumer unit is fed from the main consumer unit, is the change of just the 2nd CU notifiable?
I realise the 'new' part P states 'change of consumer unit' as notifiable...
Just wondering which and why folk are using?. Am aware plenty of folk don't use them... Am interested in labour times, wastage etc. Fine on material costs.

Evening all..
I have just finished my first EICR! It took a LONG time (10 hours in total - not including writing up the report which I am doing now with a cup of coffee!)
There were many, many faults/problems and I have coded most of them but am stuck with 5 of them and was hoping for some...
BBC News - Electric car charging points in garages and driveways get 75% subsidy
Well when they start becoming more widespread that is.
Wonder how much of that £1000-£1500 is the actual cost of the hardware required??
I'm really interested in lighting and the sort of work that can be done especially outdoors.
When I was a Super Mod on an automotive Forum we had a Gallery with Sub Galleries where members posted various photos of their vehicles.
I was wondering if anyone else would use this if it was...
Hi guys.
Bit of an odd one, but one of you might have an answer.
I've got a customer who has an old Belling 900G Farmhouse range cooker and the main oven thermostat has failed.
The part number is 46THC8/J5, however it's no longer available and I can't find one anywhere.
Does anyone know if...
