Good morning.
Help please. I need to replace a switch for my 9.5kw shower. Can anyone tell me if a 50amp double pole switch would be suitable for this.
Thank you
Hi all,
Customer is buying a Tesla ev and he was thinking of getting a Tesla charger but he said to give him 1 quote without a charger (him buying Tesla charger) and 1 quote with me supplying a charger…
The Tesla charger hasn’t got pen fault detection and I’ll need to fit one. The existing CU...
I went to swap a fan for a customer, they wanted a humidistat one. When I dropped the old fan I found it was wired with T&E.
I explained there was no permanent live so no overrun was possible, and that I'd either have to make a lot of mess running a three-core or they'd be best off leaving the...
Hi, wondering if anyone could help me. The main light in my kitchen works off two different switches, one on either end of the room. One of the switches is a 3 gang switch which also connect to some spotlights and outside lights.
When turning on and off at one switch it is fine, but then if you...
Does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes a cooker control module with a socket outlet in the vertical orientation? This is with the switch above the socket, not side by side..
Thankls for any help
Hi, my Dad has a two way switch which has a light in the hallway and a light on the landing, the other night I heard a dull bell sound and all the lights went off. The rcd tripped and now the light in the hallway is not working, upstairs switch and downstairs switch won't turn on the hallway...
Does anyone know this switch?
It was used in the 1960s by my father to distribute power to either one or two lamps. In one position, one lamp would burn at full intensity, in the other two at half intensity.
I am interested in the name of the switch and what it was originally used for.
Hi all,
I'm trying to install a smart WiFi switch in place of my existing light switches, but I'm a bit confused about the wiring. Here's my current setup:
Downstairs switch: Has L1, L2, and COM three times.
Upstairs switch: Has L1, L2, and COM twice (one set is unused).
The smart switch I...
Our old dimmer switch was buzzing and the led's in the chandelier were flickering so I decided to change it with a new compatible one. But after installing it and using the same wiring method as the exsiting one it would only turn the lights on or off and not dim them, flickering has gone...
Hi, picture attached. I have UFH on ground floor and 1st floor, each with their own manifold and their own control box for the actuators. By chance I discovered that there were two live feeds into these control boxes: on from the 3-pin plug that sits beside them, and the other feeding back into...
hi
I am wanting to put another led light from a switch that is already being used, is it ok to drill through the side of the metal back box and wire in the blue and brown wires.
Can I combine the common wires to the live terminal?
The 2 way switch was an existing circuit and the two new circuits are 1. 6 x led downlights and 2. under unit led lights.
I can remove the 2 way switch.
Thanks
We've got a overnight storage heater, fairly old but still going. That was until it starting tripping the RCD, so half the CU went off.
The switch has a crack and upon investigation it was burnt out, melted some of the cable insulation too.
Switch replaced, but radiator still isolated at the...
The following dead-end 3-way wiring diagram shows my current setup with the Zooz Zen21, but it's not working. This wiring works fine with a simple standard paddle 3-way switch that doesn't require a neutral wire. However, since the Zooz switch requires a neutral wire, I ran a white wire from the...

I'm moving my CU away from the service head. About 8m in 25mm2 SWA. 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...
