I'm trying to replace old 3 gang light switch to new smart light switch.
It's single pole with one breaker (switch board).
Smart switch requires 4 wires (black, red, green and white)
but my old switch only have 3 wires (black, black and green)
I connected black(top) to red(line) and...
Hello all, a little help would be much appreciated. I would like my extractor fan to have its own trigger switch, not dictated by the bathroom light switch. However, I’d like that switch to have an indicator flag. I’ve seen the ones on tlc but these are a 3 pole isolation switch. How could this...
Hello guys.
Im a plumbing and heating guy. I work with low voltage all the time and get calls from property managers everyday.
I looked at a range tonight. They've blown two boards and were told by the appliance sales company that they had an issue at the plug so I went and had a look...
Good morning,
I'm hoping that a crusty retired construction super is welcome here.

I am trying, with little success, to purchase 2 pole DC Contactors suitable for
switching 20-25amp 600volt DC preferably with 230volt AC coil. I require
these for switching the supply from PV array. If you are able to supply
or suggest where I might be able to get them I would be most grateful...
I am looking to add a 240v 50 amp circuit breaker to this panel for a welder. But (in the top left of the pic) is says that it is 40 amp max pole. Am correct to think this means i can only add a 40amp 240 volt circuit breaker?
I tried to put in a smart switch, which should be simple enough but when I took the plate off I was surprised at what I saw.
There are two lights controlled by the switch, but still single pole switch. The feed wire is three way with one hot going to one light and the other hot going to the...

When it comes to selecting a 3Pole main switch for a 24 way distribution board, are there any factors that will change the decision between a 125A 3pole or 4pole main switch?
Hi all & thanks in advance for any feedback.
Could anyone tell me the correct Lock off device used to safely isolate a 4 pole main switch?
I'm not 100% sure if the isolation device with the prongs is the correct device to be used or if another lock off device is necessary.
Pics attached...

Hi I have come home and at the bottom of my drive way have noticed this thing bolted about 7ft up the telegraph pole with a laser/laser radiation warning sticker on it.
Anyone know what this is and what it does or what all the numbers mean?
Partly cos I like to know everything... Partly because I'm a geek... And partly because we're going to have some electrical work done on the house which has made me curious.... I'd like to know more about the feed to my house...

When ordering a 3 phase + Neutral DB, I forgot to specify that I wanted a 4 pole switch for the main incomer. What came was a 3 pole main switch with neutral link.
My question is why would you opt to use a 3 pole and neutral link instead of a 4 pole switch? Surely a 4 pole switch is always...
