Hi Guys
I am hoping to get some outside opinion on an installation that I don't think is safe but others do, I've drawn a shocking pic which I have attached to help describe the issue but I will try and detail it aswell.
This was a Solar PV installation in which the AC side was fed into the...
Hi, having walls wallpapered and papered and don't want to keep the present light fittings on the walls. Obviously we will remove the light fittings before the walls are decorated but won't be replacing the light fittings for a few weeks - time and money!! How should we make the wires "safe"...
Hello,
I have a US AC to DC Adapter (input: AC 120V, 48W, 60Hz / output: DC 12V 3.25A; it's for a US Gamecube)
I'd like to use it in Sweden, which has 220V at 50Hz.
I'll step down the voltage from 220V to 120V with a voltage converter like this one here.
but the frequency will still be 50hz...
I have my AM2 exam tomorrow and I have a query about where to actually isolate and lock off. On my training day I was shown to lock off the main switch in the board then perform the test sequences with the voltage indicators, put key in pocket after fitting warning notices etc etc. but today I...

Hey everyone,
First off, may I apologise for jumping into your forum for a somewhat newbie question.
Myself and my partner work at music festivals throughout the year, we do henna tattoos, so after the sun goes down we close. This means we never pay for an electricity supply with our pitch...
Hi there.
I have recently taken lease on a house. I have noticed that the electric meter is located under the sink in the kitchen. Is this safe. The metal sink itself appears to be earthed but it does seen a little dodgy to me.
There is a consumer unit higher up on the wall in the kitchen...
My manager is telling me that I can safely change a light transformer by switching the lights off at the switch. I thought the light switch wasn't suitable for isolation. And also if the lights are on further on in the circuit can there not be a residual current in the neutral. What are your...
