    Which app do you use for service reports?

    Hi! For work, I need to keep track of the jobs I do, but I’m not sure which app to use. I’m looking for something that’s convenient both for scheduling and for filling out job/service reports. What do you use? Any apps you’d recommend? Thanks!

Do I need to put an SPD T2 at the 100a fused switch I'm installing or can I get away with just having one at the new CU location? I'm struggling to find options for the service head location. They a lot more expensive and the...

    Stepping down 50 or 30 amp service to 15 amp service

    My knowledge of power is basic, but the answer I've received goes against my understanding. I have a Jackery solar 'generator'. On the side of the device it says, "AC 100V-120V 15 A MAX". One use I have for the device is to use it in my little camper. On occasion I may be in an actual...

    Income supply cable on the outside of my wall in the porch…

    Hi all, The service cable is on the outside of my wall in the porch. What’s the best way to cover it with complying with current regulations? Would it just be a case of capping it and blocking it out? Many thanks

    Old service head, refer to DNO or not?

    I've got a job in a tucked away property that has an old Lucy Oxford service head. It's been a while since I've come across one. Am I remembering right that the DNO's are generally interested at looking at and changing these? Thanks.
