    2 Gang Light Switch For 2 Separate Lights

    Hi all, Hoping for some advice on whether what I'm looking for can be done - and if so how. At present we have a 2 gang switch (it is a 2 way) with each gang controlling a single light fitting each. The Live and Neutral are within the switch not the fitting. I want to add another light...

    Some MFTs have PSC/PFC test combined, I wonder why others have it as a separate test

    For example kt63 calculates pfc/psc with Zs but it has no option to go for an L-N test. The calculation is also the same V/Zs or V/Ze. The kt63 plus on the other hand has this option.

    SWA and separate conductor as CPC

    Evening all, Having a debate with a colleague about using the SWA armouring and a separate conductor both as CPC's for a circuit. So in theory bringing down the Zs of a circuit due to using both as CPC's. I'm swaying to thinking this is wrong however, I'm struggling to find any regs to express...

    Supply cable through separate flat

    Hi all, quick question - I have to replace a lateral supply cable where the existing one runs through the ceiling of the basement flat and up through the floor into a communal hallway to an old Ryefield, feeding 5 properties. The issue is that the building is listed and I'm being told that...

    Swapping lights on separate circuits

    Morning all, I am hoping to swap pendants and spotlights (which are on separate switches) that are above the kitchen island. Is there a way of extending the connections and putting two pendants where the three spotlights are and the three spotlights where the two pendants are WITHOUT destroying...

    Flickering lights on separate circuits

    Evening All, Strange one so after a bit of advice. Got called to a customer this evening who had their boiler repaired after the circuit board got fried supposedly after a power cut when the supply was restored. They were told they needed a switch fused spur fitted as there was no way of...

    Separate bathroom circuit

    Hi guys. I'm a Trainee Maintenance Electrician so please excuse my ignorance on bathroom wiring etc. After reading this forum and watching youtube (Artisan, Bundy, CRJ Electrical) I've learnt that my bathroom should be RCD protected but the problem I have is that none of my lights in my house...

    Can I supply 2 separate radials from 1 Fused Spur?

    Hello all. I have just bought my first house but it needs a bit of work. I am re-wiring it and I've found the conservatory ring has been spurred off a socket in the house. I am also getting really low insulation resistance readings between L & CPC on the conservatory ring. I've located the...

    Is a separate CPC required ?

    Hi Guys, I've just been looking at a job that has been installed by another company. One thing I've noticed are the feeds to 2 BMS / Plant panels. They have run in 2 x 150mm 4C and doubled up on the main switch in both panels. No separate CPC has been installed and the banjos aren't earthed...

    Why a separate earth for caravans

    I am an apprentice and was just wondering the reason why you have to put a separate earth into a caravan? My friend has asked me to do a hobble and bring a supply to his caravan from his board. I do need to earth the caravan separately right?

    Separate meter install for EV charger?

    I am looking to install an EV home charger for one vehicle, but possibly two in the future. I have a second unused (but still active) mains supply cable from a time when we had electric heaters. Unfortunately the separate meter on this supply was removed a few years back. It would seem to be...

    Is it safe to wire separate plugs to two devices previously wired to the same plug?

    I have an old hifi system that has a record player stacked on top of an amplifier. Weirdly, both are wired to the same plug. I don't know whether they came like this or whether somebody did it post purchase for some reason (I inherited it from my grandma). I want to pass the record player on so...

    Wiring envirovent bathroom fan to separate switch

    I have an envirovent fan that I'm replacing that is connected to its own switch (ie not the light) . The current wiring has a live and neutral. The SIL100T model seems to have Live AND Live Switched and Neutral. As I only have the two wires can I just use a short piece of wire (from an old plug...

    Hello, I have a Clipsal consumer unit with two "ways" unused and blanked off and potentially a third available as the Proteus Geyer B16 MCB is labelled as "spare". This consumer unit only contains the main double pole isolator and MCB's. Please see the below photo. I am getting an EV charge...

    Hi Guys, Perhaps an odd question but maybe it has been pondered by someone before; Scotland newbuild timber framed house. As required hard wired and interconnected smoke detectors with integral backup batteries. One of them is high up on a vaulted ceiling which requires scaffold to access. I...

    Combine 3 separate bulb holders

    Hello, I have ended up with 3 identical lamp stands (long story), each with one E27 bulb holder. What I would like to do is put all 3 bulb holders onto one stand and wire them together so that they are controlled by the one power switch. But I have very little electrical knowledge so have two...

    Separate AVI?

    Ello people This is probably a daft question and sorry if it's already been asked. The only time I ever have used a meter is to bell out... However, can a FLUKE T110 be used as a voltage indicator as well? If so I'll get one if not I'll buy a simpler meter for belling out and a Separately AVI...

    Immersion thermostat with separate cutout

    Have just got back from a call out, where the clients' immersion had stopped working. The problem is the separate thermal safety cutout has failed open circuit, and cannot be reset. It is very similar to the setup in this youtube vid: I would like to replace the thermostat with one with an...
