Hi.
I want to start to say that I've had this problem for some time now. I've given my car to more than one auto-electrician in an attempt to have it fixed, but they have to date only cost me money with no result because I can't give them enough information on the problem.

Hi,
I would have thought it unusual for an RCD to fail? However, I have come across a Wylex WRS80/2 which gives >400ms reading for the 1X RCD test using a Megger 1552MFT. A no trip fail.
Could there be some other reason for this result?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,

Having long thought of Combi boilers as the work of the Devil, Im finally coming around to the thought that they might not be quite so bad.

Hi All,
We have just brought a house in the Endon area. It was built in 1970 and has never been re-wired so naturally we want to get it done. However, we are aware that this is a highly disruptive process and it takes time.

Hi,
Have a general question here that's not in any way a loaded one, more out of curiosity as I always like to learn how things work. Such a thing would actually be impossible now because the switchboards are locked by the electrical company as well.
The builder of the house we live in now, in...

I have a customer who is digging a rather large pond (approx 200.000 gallons) where he is constructing a bridge and an island. Around the pond is some perimeter lighting and he has mentioned a light or socket on the island. This is getting a little close for comfort for me but am unsure which...

I have inspected a house in the middle of nowhere (nearest neighbours is 1/2 mile away). New owners going for a complete refurb. Floorboards not screwed down in places due to plumbers being in. One of the many things I found was evidence of mice and maybe rats chewing the cables in the void...
