    What’s this? Random electrical appliance from yesteryear

    Ok. Here’s some photos of an item I’ve discovered. You’ll know what function it performs, but I’m looking for what it’s been used for specifically. Very old, still got a 15A round pin plug on it. I’ll post another photo after a few guesses

    Totally random pics from my desk...

    My pal set this up for me, and it is the only use for the big shims in the bumper pack i bought 10 years ago... well, ok, I have used some, but these are being replaced very soon by a custom wire mesh tray system to keep the air flowing

    Random RCD trip & interconnected circuits. Suggestions appreciated.

    Hi There, I was called out to a house RCD trip which would not reset. An old style 10 way split board with a single 30 ma RCD (half without RCD protection). RCD checks out fine but I found a faulty chandelier & replaced it with a single bulb for now. Also a faulty 12v transformer flickering; now...

    Random socket tripping

    Hi, Our breaker box is located in the cellar. We experience random socket trips throughout the year. Summertime seems to be the best when we can go months without an issue. Autumn/winter time is awful. We have had 3 trips within the last 24 hours. No new appliance has been switched on when the...

    Random stuff, just for sharing, thank you!

    To kick this off, I really need to know what this is for...I don't think I need it, it is probably for a non-DeWalt tool... It came sandwiched in the cardboard with a new blade.

    Random thought - Level 3 EAL.

    So I'm well on the way to completing the second practical assessment in the EAL L3 EI course. Me being me, and the tutor saying "We don't normally switch the neutral in the UK" I decided (with permission) to adapt the assessment and move the neutral conductor out to the DIN rail. I've drawn out...

    Random but my dad just showed me his first certificate.

    I was just shown this from my dad and found it quite Ammusing. When I first started to learn the trade and materials required, I can remember a lot of patience from the spark i served and the constant mistakes I made regarding getting stuff.

    Hi guys I am rather perplexed as I have recently fitted a dual RCD Sentry (App 3 compliant) consumer unit. I am suffering a random tripping pattern with one of the RCD's (63A, 30mA) which sometimes pops the other (80A 30mA) at the same time. I have stripped everything down and insulation...

    Another random question

    Pretty sure you all know by now I like to dream up random scenarios. So let's say running SWA to an out building, but the consumer unit is a tricky run that would make it difficult to get SWA all the way to it. Would you then run T+E say from the consumer unit, through the external wall to...
