According to the (awful) instructions I need to use the bypass cable and attach 2 of these wires to bypass the chime. Would someone have a look at my photo and tell me which wires to join? Is it the ones going to 0...

    Extending ring main cables

    I would like to extend the existing 2.5mm T&E cables to relocate a switch. Can I use a 2 way wago connector for each cable and do they need to be enclosed in a box? Also, will this cause any issues with continuity and resistance testing in the future? Thanks in advance

    Ring circuits to be retired?

    Could the 30% leakage requirement on rcd, s, combined with the inevitable increase in kitchen appliances with intentional leakage built in, force designers to replace rings with radial circuits?

    How to correctly wire 2-way switch for ring main

    Currently I have a spur from the ring main, but I'm planning on adding more sockets. I can't add a 13 amp fuse because I expect to be using more than 13 amps, therefore, I am going to convert the spur into a ring main extension, as in the following diagram: I'd like to put in a 2 way switch...

    Does Ring Transformer Need Fuse?

    Hi, I have recently installed a Ring Pro Doorbell. It has come with a transformer which is going to be connected to the lighting circuit as the CU is too far away. My question is, does it need a Fused Switch on the supply or can it be powered straight from the lighting circuit? Thanks

    Ring vs Radial for minimum voltage fluctuations

    I'm building a new property consisting of 4 sperate discrete buildings, all roughly in a straight line. My question: Is there any advantage to connecting the buildings supply in a ring rather than just daisy-chaining them (i.e. radial)? I was planning to run a single 1 AWG backbone supply up...

    Ring Doorbell Transformer Location

    Is it acceptable to mount a ring doorbell transformer in a double back box with a flush cover / fused switch? I can’t get the wires back to the CU and don’t want a large box sticking out the wall. Thanks

    Ring vs Radial : Identification.

    Just a quick one When you see two lines on one MCB that could be either a ring or two radials. The only way to determine which is through testing. Is that true? Are there any best practices regarding this? For example, would you ever see three lines on an MCB? One ring, one radial? Or three...
