I have this PM156 pressure mat 25V/0.25A and I want to make it operate a low voltage light by switching off the light when pressure applied, I will need to reverse the polarity, does anyone have any ideas?
Hi All,
I have a reverse camera that has stopped working, likely cause is one of the yellow male plugs is corroded and the metal on the male has come off. The wiring is similar to the video cable ones you can buy from Amazon, with the yellow male to yellow male with trigger. My question is, can...
I have reversing cameras as shown in photo with LEDs which do not function. I'm guessing the connector top left powers LEDs. One wire on harness is reverse gear activated. How should this be wired to activate LEDs on reverse selection? PS Cameras wrk fine.
I have a small camper. When connected to shore power my receptacle tester shows "Correct" (two orange lights). However, when running on my solar generator's (a Jackery Explorer 1000 v2) inverter it shows as "Hot Neu. / Reverse". Is this expected or is there something amiss? If something is...
Hello everyone,
I've come across an old but trusty planer jointer with an old motor on it. But the way I want to re-assemble the machine makes it so I have to invert the rotation for the motor. I've tried a few things I've read but I probably messed up as it only resulted in poor speed and...

Hey guys I want to be an electrician but am currently only allowed to pull a main fuse and fit meters and ancillary devices/switchgear. I am looking to the future to a day when I can legally remove the cover of a CU.
I've just changed the bulb in an outdoor PIR security floodlight (to LED). But the light stays on by default, and turns off when I go outside. I don't think there is a control to "reverse" its mode of operation.
Hi guys,
Been given a motor and associated control gear within a panel that has been water damaged.
This motor has 3 windings U1/U2, V1/V2 and Z1/Z2, 1 pair of wires for the brake and 1 for cut-out I believe.
In the process of wiring a new panel up for it and it know its a long shot but can...
Local business has 3x large extract fans that simply turn on and off with individual switches.
Can any brand of this type of fan be retrofitted with say, a ventaxia fan controller with speed and reverse?
Existing fans are Ziehl-Abegg. Photos showing existing wiring, and diagram on cover lid...
I am an experienced DIYer (build my own house etc) and I’ve offered to help a friend in France. However, all my power tools are 230v. Could I use a safety transformer in reverse to convert the local 110v to 240v?
On my boat, I want to connect my DC-to-AC inverter to a 120vac bus normally powered by shore-side power (power grid).
I DON'T want that shore-side power to feed back into my inverter. When I connected the inverter output to the live, shore-powered bus the inverter alarms ("AC OVERLOAD") and...
Hi.
I want to control a TV Lift from a home automation system. Its hasn't got any standard way of doing this and the person setting the home automation needs to know just a few things to get it working.
Ive had an electrician look at the control box and motor, he's figured out that the...
Maybe lack of coffee etc ! Voltage also dropped to 140 for a bit . New ring . wired up correctly but indicated "reverse " . Could not be possible . Then tested other way and same thing ! Its a luxury apartment and only in there fitting longe plates. Building sparks arrived and fiddled in...
Hi Guys
So has anybody had this issue as I'm baffled. I've completed an EICR today and all other circuits apart from the ring main were fine. I had no continuity in the ring.
I tested each leg and can see there is a break between a couple of sockets...probably under a Floorboard as between the...
Hi,
Standard float sensors are normally used to output to an LED meter so if the water level is above a certain point the LED is on, and when it drops below that point the LED switches off e.g. a small LED meter with red yellow and green level indicators in a motorhome.
Is it possible to...
