The earth conductor in the secondary side of the transformer is not connected. Theres a 16mm cpc going from the LV board...

Just looking for some advice really on something I haven't come across before (I don't usually work on farms).

Hello,
I am the artist, (I'm not an electronist or electrician).
I have a weird problem that I never encountered.
I have a small power supply led driver for a power-led wall light.
I want to attach an indicator led running at 240V to its input ( directly on the 240V wires). You can see the 240V...
Attatched I have something i made on paint which shows multiple caravan points needing a 32 amp supply. The 3 phase board is there in the bottom right.
I was wondering what would be the best way to supply each point using all 3 phases and taking into consideration length of cable and the size...
Hi,
May be an odd one but…
I’m fitting out a boat, the marina supplies 16amps shore power and they insist on gas cookers so as not to overload their supply.
I’ve just seen you can buy 13amp cookers, would I be right to assume that a 13amp cooker would only ever draw 13amps and thus, would...
I’ve just moved into a new bungalow.
The 6mm T&E cable supplying the garage goes to a FSU with a 13amp fuse.
The FSU feeds two double sockets and 2 LED light battens in the garage.
The supply is protected by a 16amp mcb backed up by a 63amp 30mA RCD from the consumer unit which is located in a...
Hi guys,
Trying to find out if I can supply power to my house by plugging a V2L capable EV like the Hyundai Ionic 5 into a 15A power outlet after the mains power has been shut off?
A relative in West Cheshire sent me this pic. He is contemplating having an EV charger and other electrical appliances fitted. He asked me if he has a 60A or 100A supply. From this pic, it looks like a 100A supply with 60A fuse fitted for some reason. He wants it to be 100A. Any ideas?
Hey guys!
I'm hoping to get some advice. We are in the process of building an entertainment unit which will have an electric fire floating on the front. However, this fire comes with a plug. I guess my question is, what's the best way to plug this in so the wire can't be seen? I wanted to add...

Firstly, just to re-assure professionals here, all tie-in and testing on this project will be undertaken by a qualified electrician. This post is just to improve my understanding.

Hello, Where I work there's a steel cabin that other employees have installed and powered up without certification. Am I correct in thinking it's covered under part 717.411.4 that it can not be connected to a PME supply? I've been asked to test it and I'm concerned with the design and...
Hi all,
Some time last year a contractor who visited our house suggested that our mains supply cable coming into the house could be coated in asbestos containing materials but that it wouldnt be possible to sample it due to it being live electrics. He advised to contact the DNO for further...
TN-C-S supply, shocks/tingles from earthed sink.
Latest NICEIC test (2017) from landlord shows 200Mohm resistance between E and N
As above, do I have a floating neutral, is this causing a leak from N, via bonding on sink to true earth (solid kitchen floor)?
I have a track light whose power supply failed.
I would like to replace the power supply but am unsure as to what to replace it with and how to connect it to the track.

I recently installed a 200kva, 33/0.400 KV transformer for a small commercial hostel, so after powering the transformer, we checked all the output of the 3 phase at the secondary side and it was ok but whenever a single air conditioner is powered , then the voltage becomes low. Please guide me...
Hi All,
Right, I have a very strange fault occurring so I'll start from the beginning.
I have recently carried out a consumer unit change from an old rewireable to a new split load RCD protected consumer unit. So I had changed the board and put new meter tails in.
I have tested all the...
