    EV chargers installed direct to meter box - is it really wrong?

    On another forum for general EV chat this question comes up all the time. It's very common to install a charger taking the supply direct from the meter box via a secondary box and suitable protection installed within the meter box. Reasons to do this appear quite sensible: 1) Often far easier...

    UK Hi am just really curious and want to know why meter installers get more then Ev installers ?

    Their salary in London is around 44,000 salary and they do 4 meter installs. The EV installers in london they do 2 a day and they get salary of 34,000 but they do whole cable run , drill whole and db and testing. It’s seems like the EV installers do way more work the meter installers. I just...

    Did it really need an earth?

    I was away at the weekend & the electrician came round to fix something. While there he decided to condemn an outdoor electrical light as he said it didn't have an earth. My wife didn't know better so she agreed to pay him. It is a lamp post 8ft tall made entirely of aluminium with a single...

    Electrician says I need a new consumer unit to pass inspection - do I really?

    He says 'it's fairly important to change the consumer unit as it wont pass the Inspection in its current state.' He's coming round tomorrow to replace it, has he given me duff advice? Cheers, Matt

    How to upgrade really old Service Head, Meter and Consumer Unit

    Hi, I am looking to get an electrician to upgrade my consumer unit and do some work on circuits. At the same time, have been receiving letters from E-On about upgrading to smart meters - this was supposed to happen a few years ago but when they visited, they refused to carry out any work...

    General feeling of youtube reviewers and how some are really good and some "beggers"

    Ive been watching hundreds now ...And it seems there is a industry of trades all wanting companies to send stuff for free and even maybe financial gain etc? Yet many of the reviews are rubbish and show meaningless stuff . But seem to have a huge following . I wonder how many companies will...

    Really nice carbide hole cutter

    Bought one of these from Rexel, not cheap at £38 but damn does it cut a clean hole. Had about a dozen panel push buttons and indicators to put in and this is just the job. Really loved how snug the seal on the push buttons was, absolute perfection. If you want a good job get the right...

    Really odd solar problem

    I have had a solar system for about 8 years and it's always worked perfectly well until a month or two ago. The electricity bill suddenly shot up and it turns out the reading on the inverter has shot up too. Around 3500 units produced by a 4kw system in winter. I'm assuming these two things are...

    Do you really need insulated tools?

    Are insulated tools necessary if you're not working live? Watching YouTube videos of sparks in America none of them use insulated tools and working on live circuits is apparently an OSHA offense. In the UK the EWR state that: " No person shall be engaged in any work activity on or so near any...

    Surely this isn't really a "vintage" tester? (ebay link)

    Idly browsing fleabay and I ran across this: I know standards were once rather laxer, but surely this was never an actual manufactured product? More like some maniac in a shed cackling as he put it together? Brass may be less conductive than copper, but even so (not sure I'd trust to there...
