I have 12 laptops on a desk and i need to get rid of the chargers (its a mess) its possible to do something that have 12 cables from one power source? I was searching for some vendor with a solution but I...
I used a Contactor instead of an ATS to connect 2 power sources (main and ups) for power redundancy and the output is connect to a Dell server. i.e, if main power is lost contactor will changeover to ups power and there should be continuous power supply for the dell server…
but i have a...
Have two switch boxes.. one in a bathroom with a single switch for the vanity light fixture. Other box in the hallway with two switches.. one to the outside porch light and one to the ceiling light in the hall. No power coming into either box and both went out at same time. Only two GFCIs in...
My understanding is that a SMPS does not separate, like a SELV transformer, the secondary from the primary. Therefore presumably the equipment supplied cannot be IEC protection class III. So what class is the equipment? For example a laptop with an SMPS, metal body and high resistance...
Hi all
: fairly strange question has anybody dealt with any companies that know about sending this sort of power over 1.8 or slightly more kilometres all over private land

Hi Everyone!
You all seem like a friendly bunch and google keeps referring me back to here but I still cannot find any solid answers so hoping you can advise me. I am in the process of planning a shower room re model for my disabled parents but have come across some hurdles (spoke to an...
So this is a question around my woodworking workshop. I have a dust collector which is connected up to various machines around the shop and want to be able to switch it on with a simple remote control I carry with me.

Hi, I want to restore an old baby belling stove/oven and it worked at first but after about 1min it tripped the power. After that, it trips the power immediately when trying to turn on. The two elements on the stove did this, the grill and even the oven. What is weird is that when I leave it for...
A few days ago we had a brownout and an existing Caseta switch started smelling burnt and its lights wouldn't turn on so I figured it needed replacing. I purchased the exact same model ( PD-6WCL-WH-R-C ) and installed it just as the old one. However, the ceiling lights don't come on and neither...
I thought I would take a few minutes to give my recent experience in wiring a large garage for power and an alarm circuit. This relates to clipped direct for all cables, using Linian clips.
A laser round the garage, drilling the 6mm holes. clipping the 2.5mm to the brickwork all went very well...
I happened on this web site today that shows the UK power production & demand:
https://grid.iamkate.com/
The obvious elephant in the room is today just over half of the power is from gas. What is missing to me is an indication of percentage capacity, i.e. how much of each source is being used...
Is it ok to run a 110 line off a 220 circuit? Specifically, I want to add a 110 outlet near my hot water heater and it would be convenient if I could use one of the hot wires along with the neutral and ground to create the circuit I should also mention that the 110 line will almost always be in...

I have some lights flickering in the house. I was told tightening the circuit breaker wires in the electrical boxes might help eliminate the flickering. Is it possible to tighten the wires without having to turn off power to the house.
Thanks
Hi,
Really just for info. not a problem or anything.
(to be honest also wanting to be sure it is taking from solar as much as possible & can you be sure of that?)
I assume the new solar meter is actually what is being drawn from the array so is an accurate indications of that.

My customer wants to fit a large 12V chiller at her farm.
The supplier has said it is 12V and 80A.
A couple of questions..
1. What sort of power supply unit would you use for this? See link below of the ebay item.
2. Is this going to be 80A at 12V or 80A at 230V? At 12v it would only be...
Hi
We just moved into this house and in the utility room there is a normal wall socket with a plug going up ontop of a wall unit and into a very old junction box where it changes to a weather shielded cable & out the wall, along the side of a fence and into a doublesocket weathproof box, as per...
