    How to wire for "electrically sensitive" people

    Hey everyone, I believe I may be one of the crazy people who thinks they are "electrically sensitive"... I hate that I am that guy, but this is kind of where I find myself. I'm convinced that the farther from all electrical stuff I sleep, the better I sleep, and I've kind of gotten obsessed...

    Evening all. My customer has a series E consumer unit which has a 100mA MK RCD as the main switch. I am adding a socket to the socket circuit on this board so need to give it 30mA protection. I happen to have a 30mA Steeple RCD for a series E CU (I collect as many different CU's as I can)...

    Sensitive DC clamp meter

    Hi, I have a budget AC/DC clamp meter but have found it disappointing on low current testing. The lowest range is 40A with four digit display, meaning the lowest reading is 10mA. However the spec for the meter quotes an accuracy of 5% (or something) +/- eight counts, meaning it's claimed...

    Sensitive Glowworm PCBs

    I was doing an EICR a few weeks ago and turned everything off to test. When I turned everything back on (main switch first, then RCDs, then one MCB at a time) the boiler, which had been fine before, had developed a fault, which it turns out was because something had happened to the PCB when I...

    IR testing sensitive equipment

    Been having an argument over insulation resistance testing on ballasts with an 'experienced' electrician I work with and he is saying line-earth IR tests on a circuit with ballasts will always give you dead shorts. I don't understand how this is correct surely a line to earth test wouldn't...

    Hello all.. The customer wants his garden light to switch on the moment he walks into the garden, the sensor is around 12 meters away and it doesn't switch the light until he is half way up the garden. There is nowhere nearer I can locate the PIR. I realise screwfix/toolstation have PIR's...

    Dear all, The consumer unit main RCD (80A, 30mA)keeps tripping. We've noticed it when my stepson plugs in a laptop on the upstairs ring main and also randomly when nothing else is in use (eg at night) and we suspect it's the fridge freezer turning on and off. (downstairs ring main) or when...

    Less sensitive smoke alarms

    I went to price a job up today and noticed the lady had physically disconnected her 2 interlinked smoke alarms, due to them always going off. Obviously, I was concerned to see this and pointed out that not only is this dangerous, but that her insurance is probably invalid. She is a heavy...
