    Just removing the sheath on a ring main cable in a 3 terminal junction box.

    Over the years as a DIY-er I've used the old brown 30A circular junction boxes to add spurs to ring mains. I like them as they are strong, secure and visible. I've ALWAYS followed the rules on domestic electricity . Until earlier this year I've been able to check with a cousin who's a...

    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.

    Terminal attachments for ballast connections.

    I'm a newbie to electrical DIY. There are some connectors on a ballast that I'm not familiar with. The cable I have is an 18awg 300v with wire cores made up of multiple thread copper. I cannot get the copper into these ports so I need some sort of terminal connector. Does anyone have familiarity...

    Terminal "covers" for Bosch 10.8v\12v lithium batteries?

    As the title suggests, I am looking for some simple insulating covers to go over the terminals of my Bosch batteries to prevent any chance of them shorting while rattling about in a tool bag... I have seen some 3D print plans for such items, but can't find anyone selling the items...

    Doubling over conductors in ring circuit

    Was wondering. I haven't been to college for about 3 or 4 years now and I can't seem to remember what they said about doubling over conductors in a ring circuit. So in a ring circuit using 2.5mm twin and earth cable, is it recommended that you double over the conductors before terminating them...

    Din Rail Terminal Blocks

    Hi all, I'm looking to shift the wiring of an exceptionally awkwardly placed old fuse board to a shiny new 18th ed compliant board a few metres away. As all the wiring will still have to come to the new board from the old location, literally at the back of a 2m deep cupboard and directly under...

    Do I need a JB here? Will terminal blocks do?

    Long story short - I'm moving a light fitting. Previously it was a pendant with the loop-in in it, this new light fitting doesn't have enough blocks inside (common scenario it seems), plus I'm moving it about a foot. So I need to take care of the loop-in before coming off it to the light...

    Wiring the terminal block on a Login oven

    I'm trying to wire up a new Logik oven and it has a non-standard terminal block, much smaller than that on the oven I just replaced and all the YouTube videos I could find. It looks like you just screw the electrical wires in directly. So, I guess I should remove the connectors and screw the...

    Another socket puzzle: Why the extra terminal?

    Here's an old accessory made to BS1363. You can connect it to a ring and plug 13A plugs into it. What is the fourth terminal for? I've blanked off some text moulded into the bakelite so as not to give too many hints at first. Nothing else is hidden.
