Good afternoon
I hope everyone is keeping well.
I have purchased a stainless steel recirculation cooker hood which has the double insulated symbol (a box within a box) and the wiring cable is only L and N, no plug attached. I understand this would mean it has to be hard wired but I wonder, as...
Hello everyone I’m new to the forum and I am trying to wire up a new 12s 7 pin plug that’s on my Ifor Williams trailer Tipping trailer. The original plug was damaged and when I open up the plug only 1 of the 4 wires were connected to it, the other 3 were loose. I traced the wires back on to the...
One for the more 'experienced' out there...
When was this available?
To 1363 apparently at the time, but without the sleeved pins..
Otherwise still working perfectly, so clearly a design that worked - and would be quite handy in some circumstances today.
I recall maybe 10 years...
Hi all,
Just moved into a house and typically now finding a fair few issues. Hoping to have an EICR done at some point, would've done this before we bought it but the house was renovated and rewired in 2013/14 and we had the regs papers for it so went ahead without.
A bit of further digging in...
I have bought some net led lights that are permanently installed outside.
The problem is, I don't have an outdoor socket. And the socket in the shed is too far away.
I can buy an extension to the low voltage lead, for around £10 delivered, but I'd ideally like to plug it in outside.
All the...
hi there - Im about to book an electrical safety certificate for a property that will be let out and I notice I have plug sockets in the bathroom (they have always been handy for electric toothbrushes and hair dryers etc but they are within a metre of the sink and within 3 metres of the bath /...
Hi we have a client who insists on using 3kw induction hobs on their projects. These hobs are used 8-10hours per day and come with a moulded plug top. Safe to say the socket outlets keep melting/burning out. First thought was to remove the plug top and wire via a 16amp commando and appropriate...
Hi,
I am a homeowner and looking for DIY advise.
I bought a outdoor patio heater and it came with a EU plug as shown in picture.
It works fine with a UK converter but the problem I have is it won't fit with the connector on in the waterproof outdoor extension cable I bought.
So, I am looking...
Hi,
I am an amateur with little knowledge of electrics, so please bear with me.
I recently bought a petrol generator Pacini 6.5KVA Petrol 13HP Generator, Electric start - https://ige.ie/pacini-6-5kva-petrol-13hp-generator-electric-start
The purpose of the generator is to power basic...
Hello!
I have a mysterious cable coming out my wall which I believe is the lost puzzle piece to why there's a jacuzzi in our bathroom which has never worked. It's a two-pin power plug which I've never seen, and I'd be looking to get the male counterpart to it which would then plug into UK...
My father, who lives a long way away and who is very independently minded, is having a small downstairs bedroom converted to take a built in spa hot tub. From what I can gather talking to him about this, the spa people will replace the two, double gang sockets with Maintenance Free junction...
Hi,
We have electric radiators in our house. We have taken one of the radiators away, and we were hoping we could turn it into a socket now. Would this be ok? There is no thermostat on them.
Thanks,
Kirsten
I am having a serious issue with my mechanical ventilation system.
I have replaced the old one and bought a new one from the same brand and with the connection (dammm Perilex!).
I thought that the device will work right away but not... thats where the problem started.
I have tried almost all...
Hi does anyone know what type of transformer I need for a US bought fan to run continuously without issues. V120 60Hz and 12.5A.
I believe power in UK is 230V and 50Hz.
I calculated that the power of the machine is 1500W.
What type of converter and of how many W should I need to operate this...
Hi all,

Hue Nyro, Pedestal lights. The instructions state that they want to be mains wired into...
I read once, never seen one for sale, that there is a solid brass replacement for the standard 13A fuse in a 13A plug. This is to eliminate the fusing in the plug, which is handy when having a heavy appliance plugged in behind itself, like under worktops which are isolated and fused by an FCU...

So I have an old pendent light. There was a 14/3 line and 2- 14/2 lines connected to a single light fixture. I re-wired it the same way back into a J-Box and then connected it to another 14/2 line ( so instead of it connecting to the pendant light it's connected to a new 14/2 line). That 14/2...
