Can I combine the common wires to the live terminal?
The 2 way switch was an existing circuit and the two new circuits are 1. 6 x led downlights and 2. under unit led lights.

Hi All
Just spotted these Metal replacement covers for old plastic Wylex Consumer Units. I was just wondering what the forum's opinion is of them? I guess they're a bit of a fudge as you still have the plastic box frame behind it, but is it a total waste of time if you can't afford a new CU at...

A 2.0 AWG copper conductor is attached to one of two neutral bars (that...
The breaker pictured trips with nothing plugged into the circuit. It is able to be reset and stays reset for several days, but trips again. When resetting, It is slow to do so and does not snap into place like the other 15 amp breakers pictured leading me to believe it has failed. I have...
