    GFCI issue that is not related to the circuit it's protecting.

    Having lost my father in law many years ago, an electrician and electrical engineer, I'm now at a loss for a sounding board for any issue that comes up that I get stumped with. I am hoping the fine folks here may be of some assistance. I am having a GFCI/ AFCI issue in my sub panel...

    What's this? (Lamp post related)

    The lamp posts on a small lane near me have had blue triangles painted in front of them. It looks like these are to mark the presence of a small metal pin, similar in appearance to a rivet. Anyone know what they are for? Too small to be an earth rod.

    I'm reaching out to try and figure out a best way forward to update the metering in my flat.

    How do I get my meter with 2 related meters changed to a single meter with 1 MPAN?

    I have 2 related MPAN's which I'm being charged for but I only have the 1 meter, how do I go about getting this changed to a single meter with a single MPAN. I've been told an electrician needs to check that the one supply is enough to supply my property? Thanks!

    Dear all, I am a student and as part of my thesis there is a high need to perform a DECs calculation on a set of buildings. Of course the overall process is not related to a commercial process and therefore this is not related to the standardized method. So my question is if there are open...
