The property has a TN-C-S supply, which will be fed with new 25mm tails, 16mm EC. The garage is link...
Hi,
Have just deleted an epic explanation of my problem because by the time I reread it it made no sense to me. Instead will prepare for the barrage of "its simply you fool" by asking this question.

Greetings.
I know that switch mode power supplies can create radio interference and also neutral harmonic currents but does anyone know why?
Does anyone know why the components inside the power supplies can cause radio interference and/or neutral harmonics?
Thanks very much.
Hello there.
I have been asked to look at a new supply, 240 volt to a stable block. Problem being is distance likely to be between 150-175 metres. Volt drop gonna be a problem. DNO quoted £30k to run new cable from sub. The stable block includes a kitchen, toilets, office so they were looking at...

Do you guys think that the majority of electricians actually bother using the adiabatic equation to decide whether the cpc of a T&E cable is adequate when supplying a CU in a garage/shed, or do most people just size the cable based on CCC and voltdrop?
I come across a lot of T&E strung between...
I am going to fit a 3 phase 6kw immersion heater in a 500litre cylinder. this forms part of a 30kw GSHP system. The immersion is required as top up when the GSHP is not enough to generate enough hot water and the immersion kicks in via GSHP control to lift the temp further. It is also required...
