Now using the 100w per lighting point takes total current to 8.5A with all lights on at 100w. Now all...

    Prospective Fault Current

    I was under the impression that PFC is the greater of either the PEFC or the PSSC. Now look at this article (endorsed by the NIC) on Voltimum.... Voltimum Q&A I am assuming that the guy's tester is indicating over-range on the PSSC measurement. Apart from the fact that the way it is written...

    Went to a house the other day as dining room lights not working. 4 x 40/50w gu10's on a dimmer, dimmer faulty.

    I thought it made sense but now it doesn't!

    We are seriously looking at installing a PV system. Our house faces roughly south west and, at the start seemed to be pretty shade free. We've had two surveys done and both have highlighted shading due to the property next door and a large chimney on the front of our property. This is perfectly...

    Common sense prevails!

    Just heard on the radio that cheques will no longer be phased out by 2018 and will be kept for as long as there is a demand for them. Definitely good news for small businesses as that's often our primary source of payment. Will still keep pushing for BACS payments though as I hate wandering down...
