    How to make sense of this?

    Hello, I am trying to replace some lights in my walk in closet, I began with light 2 and before realizing how confusing this could get, I forgot to take a photo or label the 4 black wires. All other wiring is just as the electrician did it. My question is, how do I figure out how to wire my...

    Tips on Energy Monitoring System

    I have a home that has a 600W panel and three 200W subpanels SquareD QO (quick grip) panels. I’m looking for an energy monitoring solution (other than the electric company). I know that SquareD has Wiser solution for the 200W panels (same as the Sense monitoring..I think), but it looks like the...

    Outdoor 230 EV charger with 115 V outlet: supply through conduit . Does this plan make sense?

    Hi! I’d like to install a pedestal-mounted (230 V, 30 A max - programmable) EV charger close to my driveway, which ends about 12 feet away from the house, on the other side of a landscaped rock wall of sorts. While I am at it, I would like to oversize the circuit to allow a second EV charger to...

    Brain teaser - what got my spider sense tingling?

    Eh up :) Just for fun, get you thinking... Came across this on a job yesterday, which was to replace an 8 foot fluorescent with 2x 4ft integral LED battens. The fluorescent, in the loft of a boarded-out garage, was switched from a 3G switch (that did 2 other lights on the ground floor of the...

    I’m looking to self install a Nest Learning Thermostat on my Worcester Bosch 280 boiler, mainly as it’s a rented house, and I need to be able to remove the Nest when I leave, or when the boiler is serviced. The wiring looks straight forward, but I just wanted to sense check before I go ahead...

    Fault current, and earth electrode resistance: Numbers not making sense

    In "Advanced Electrical Installation Work" by Trevor Linsley, he says that an earth electrode rod that is 1m deep will typically have a resistance of between 10 and 200 ohms. Given that fault currents can supposedly, momentarily, be in the order of 1000's of amps, this makes me scratch my head...

    2nd job saw me having to fit a switched fused spur on a cooker circuit. From the board a 6mm cable is run to a cooker switch. From here it looke to me like a 1mm core was run down to a jb and then another 1mm went from the jb to the job. I had to put a switched fused spur where the jb was and...

    House extension so need to remove and replace FIT installation

    What is the deal with temporarily moving an array to complete building works? No doubt it will be a complete nightmare but hopefully some good experience here? Do they notify or keep quiet?

    Intelligence V's common sense!

    I have just finished a handover at work and the doctor came up to me to have a chat about his electrics! He is a good doctor and very intelligent. During the weekend, just before a party he was throwing, the 'sockets' MCB trips. He starts panicking as all his guests will be turning up. He...

    Building Energy Performance change?

    I have heard or read this and cannot find where. I have seen or heard it proposed that PV and FIT qualification will be aligned with the RHI, This would mean a property meeting Green Deal Ticks rather than an EPC of D. It would make sense in terms of consistency but would probably only apply to...
