    What's everyone do in regards to finding you are cutting into the ring circuit and not a spur from the ring circuit if that makes sense. I know it's quite straight forward if you are at a socket and can visually see the cables and use the r1+r2/4 method but I mean if you have floorboards up and...

    C&G Level 3 Project Question (Cafe ring final sockets length)

    Hi guys I'm a bit frazzled by the wording on the main project. So, we are told to keep the max circuit length down to 30m, tutors said that isnt physically possible so just try to keep it under 40m and they noted that the socket circuit was a bit of a mental one and that the 30m guidance set...

    Transformer from socket wire to trickle-charge Ring Doorbell - Is this safe?

    I have a Ring Doorbell which has no Chime, but which is trickle charged via a wall-mounted BG DIN Rail transformer in a Hagar casing which diverts power from a socket cable. Firstly I have a electric check coming up and I wanted to know if this was safe or is it likely to be picked up in the...

Ideally I could just replace the transformer pictured below with a newer unit which has the required specs...

    Ring final circuit Zs.

    Can you get the zs by using a earth loop impedance tester. I was taught if there's 2 rings circuits, you can do r1,r2, rn /4 on 1 On the other ring you can plug in the earth loop impedance tester and measure the zs. If you do it that way you must write in the observations you measured. Have I...

    Open circuit fault on ring

    What’s the Quickest method of finding exactly where the break in the ring is? It’s on the neutral conductor. Split ring and then join the line and neutral at dB and test between live and neutral at midway on both legs and narrow it down this way?
