Just wanted to see if many people had gone from an electrician to being a site manager and how they went about this? I think management is the route I want to go down, but the cost of going down the HNC or NVQ L6 route and then obtaining SMSTS/SSSTS, first aid and then a black card would simply...
In other words, can every fixture, switch, appliance, etc go directly to a manifold of sorts so you could program/reprogram the switch to turn on different things? Kind of like using a freshwater manifold system instead of a traditional branch system. I KNOW i'm ignorant and there must be good...
Idly wondering if many use such a tool...
I find mine very useful for odd tasks, and a godsend for certain others, like when you are back up the ladder and you need a knife/file/scissors/small screwdriver.
Many are one-handed operation and give you just the tool you need from time to time.
Been looking for a Cablestik cable roller for ages. will buy secondhand or new and pay postage, or any recommendations of a similar awesome product.
any help would be great. (even thinking of trying to make one)
Thanks

Is it possible to energize a contactor/relay from multiple toggle (not momentary) switches in a way similar to 3-way switches?
If so, what components and setup would do that?
The purpose is to control lighting from several sources and the reason for not using simple 3-way switches is that the...
Afternoon chaps, is there a guide anywhere on this forum to make a test board similar to what you would use in college?
I need to re-train myself, get some practice in testing circuits.
Any appreciated. Thanks.

As the title suggests. After much thought I've decided to start with a kt63. I could probably have my mind changed if there is something else.
Would rather get from here, hoping you lot are going to be more honest than Ebay.
Thank you

I've been putting some new floor boxes in on am existing electrak system.
The floor boxes come pre-wired with 2x DSSOs and a data plate. There is also a 5m pre-connected steel flex conduit.
The flex and assembly is wired internally with 4mm singles.
The plug (taps in) is not fused so...
I've been asked to install an additional garden lighting bollard to an entrance drive. All block paving and decorative borders so I'm keen to avoid embarking on a digging exercise and the customer isn't keen either ;-).
Any suggestions for suitable alternatives? Concrete cable trough, etc. etc...
I have two line wires coming out of the top of the 'Sockets' B32 MCB. One of those line wires connects to 3 sockets in the bedroom and the other wire connects to 5 sockets in the living room.
Each socket takes two line wires, one to power the socket and the other to pass the current onto the...
just received an email that got my spider-sense tingling. The wording is odd, and there is nothing specific in the email like, where they live, or a phone number, or who recommended me.
I’ve had mailshots before thanks to being listed on CPS websites and ESR, but never one like this. See what...

Afternoon Ladies and Gent's,
I've got a level three assignment to add all the necessary installation symbols to a hotel and swimming pool. DB's, FCU's, switches et-cetra. Is there a standard for these or even a recognised set of symbols? I've searched as you would expect but there seems to be...
4kW Dahlander motor on Göckel G2 sharpener draws too much current evenly across all of the phases at slow speed (14 Amps instead of 8.5), keeps tripping. On high speed 5 Amps only. Resistance between all of the windings is 4-6 Ohm's. Must be evenly shorted windings somewhere, or previous owner...
Evening All. I am supplying a cooker and an electric hob from a single circuit via a single isolation switch. When calculating the demand with diversity i.e. first 10A + 30% remainder, should this be for each appliance then added together or combined?
Either way I get 28.4A or 21.4A for a 6.6kW...
