We have been offered a three-phase connection from the National Grid, for 180 kVA, an LV Cut Out and CT Panel.
We then approached EDF (large business team) for a supplier...
Late night call out to a night club with no lights but a lot of glowing areas !
Whilst the revellers were uninterested in me I slipped by with my trusted head torch on in to the depths of the basement and the main board.
As you can see from the pictures the main incoming diff had been linked...
The attached photo shows the suppliers head that includes an earth terminal.
The incoming supply cable is a single phase plastic sheathed cable containing L & N.
The earth terminal is not actually connected to anything (not internally linked).
The DNO is SSE.
A previous contractor was under the...
Hi all
I have recently hired a local electrician (NICEIC Registered) to install some outdoor lighting in the garden of the house we have just moved into. The guy is experienced in outdoor lighting and does a lot of installations and sports venues across North West England. So, he came out...

Phoned the DNO,
"This is a job for the supplier."

I have cancelled my Amazon Prime membership and will no longer be using them to buy tools or anything else online.
I would like recommendations for a tool supplier, ideally UK based, that has a wide selection of products. Maybe someone with a loyalty scheme to incentivise repeat custom?
I'm...
Hello all, I need a new cooker, the supplier will only fit it if it's safe to do so, is it possible to tell if it's safe to fit from my photo? Many thanks
I have been looking at replacing my current legacy meter to a more common Economy 7 one. I currently have a few storage heaters that are on the single CU with all other appliance in the house, and I have a single 5-port meter which controls the on/off for the heating circuit (alongside its duty...
As above,
This is a vacant premises where the supplier is charging monthly even though no electricity is needed. They are refusing to cancel the supply.
Is there a requirement to maintain a supplier on a connection, even if it's not in use?
Many Thanks all
Hi,
I am curious to know how electrical contractors manage the prices they get from your suppliers.
Everyone knows that if you stick with one wholesaler, you are likely to get your pants pulled down by pricing over one thing or another, you need to keep them on their toes, and to do that you...
Hi, I need a bit of 3184TQ in 0.75mm or 1mm. I can't find anywhere that sells it by the meter. Any ideas?
(I can get a few meters of 3094 heat resistant PVC easily enough, but I prefer the butyl rubber).
I am trying to find a supplier to supply a slightly customised Bell door entry system i.e. not exactly one of their standard kits. I used to deal directly with Bell whose sales dept is excellent but now they say they won't supply direct. I need a supplier who is at least capable of understanding...
Hi folks, anyone know of a supplier of blanking plugs for Lucy/Henley blocks - for use where the break out.....has been broken out and no longer has a conductor in place.
Yes, I know I could dob in some silicon, but I prefer the real thing!

I have an EICR to do. The customer has said the electricity supplier were due to replace the meter but have not reconnected the installation until they get a 'certificate to say its safe'. They have said they only require dead tests to be preformed (obviously) and no inspection of accessories is...
The photo I have taken of a up and coming job shows a wish mash of cables.
The old rewardable board is coming out and the client wants an updated dual RCD board replacing the existing one and the old board.
I don't have a problem with that and have also advised re mains smoke detectors and...
Hi guys, I've been asked to change an existing lighting setup in a large storage yard.
Basically at the moment there are a number of lamp posts with a mixture of 250w and 400w metal halide lights (1 or 2 lights per post). I've been told from the main building contractor that the columns aren't...
