    Thoughts on an old ISCO AC DNO supply?

    Hi all What’s your thoughts on this supply? Came across it recently and wasn’t sure whether to mention it to DNO as it’s quite old but not sure if it warrants it or not.

    Collective thoughts about issue… Pub kitchen

    Been asked to look at local pub kitchen as a circuit was tripping. The circuit appears to be a repurposed cooker circuit, fed in 6mm t&e to two MK double sockets. Second socket is fed in 2.5 from the first. The load is 2x twin fryers… at 2.6kW per unit… so 4 units, but only 3 are ever used as...

    What are your thoughts on outdoor consumer units for EV?

    Hi people, Just wanted to know what everybody’s thoughts are on small outdoor consumer units for EV chargers? Some are saying that they aren’t good because you get condensation build up in them and terminations rust corrode etc after a few years and they don’t last. Do you fit them?

    Thoughts on this set up

    This is supplying a small commercial set up. SWA is only 16mm and the isolator is rated at 100A. Earth cable between MET and SWA is only 10mm. How would you code it? Having a brain fart and thought I'd seek other opinions.

    Any thoughts on 2-year-old GE dishwashing machine electrical issues?

    I have a 2-year-old GE dishwasher which several months ago began to not work. It turned on but soon shut off without starting the cleaning process. When this happened I went to the breaker box and flipped the dedicated switch for the dishwasher, waited a few seconds, then flipped it back. After...

    Thoughts on heat-shrink tubing with internal adhesive liner for isolator poles?

    Now and again I nip a tiny faction too much off the incoming lines inserted into the isolator. As routine I heat-shrink over. However recently noticed the boss prefers to use adhesive lined shrink. Any thoughts regarding adhesive-lined shrinks being used on 100A isolator lines?

    Thoughts on this EICR?

    I have been asked to look at this report as the customer has been given (in their words) 'A very high quote plus VAT'. It doesn't look well written at all. However, what I cant understand is the very high quote when there is only 1 x C2. My thoughts... 1. Nothing written in 'general condition...

    Thoughts on this scenario?

    Im just curious as to peoples thoughts on the following install I seen on a video from an Electrical firm today and they did the following: Ran power to an outdoor shed by coming off the downstairs ring by coming off one of the sockets with a 4mm 3 core cable to an outdoor socket. They then ran...

    Thoughts on an EICR on this board prior to physical testing.

    Opinions on this Crabtree TP 10 way board? Got to test this next week after a quick recce on a clients site yesterday. Although probably electrically safe the RCCB is feeding everything including another board Fed via an SWA and some external services also in armoured to. Thing that bothers me...

    LED mirror has double insulated symbol & earth wire - what are your thoughts?

    I recently bought a bathroom mirror with LED & Bluetooth speakers (from Amazon). There is a double isolated symbol on the back of the mirror yet there is also an earth wire connection. Is this unusual and should it be a cause of concern? It has not been installed yet - just wondering what your...

    Your thoughts on RAAC in the news?

    So what are your thoughts? Over 100 schools in England closed, 40 or so in Scotland after a building material with a projected lifespan of 30-40 years has started to fail well after its projected lifespan. Media induced panic yet again comes to mind. As far as I can tell, there has already...

    Any thoughts on this old thing?

    Quite old main switch RCD, it occasionally trips (every day or two), then won't turn on until all breakers are off. Ramp test at time of testing was 25ma, earth leakage meter said 5ma (so consistent). Is the RCD likely to simply be old?! Are they tetchy switching on under load? Haven't got into...

    What are your thoughts on people wanting to be ultra neat when wiring inside boards?

    I get wanting to do a good job but does being super neat inside a board really make it a better job? I don't see any advantage to it aside from aesthetics and if it's something that's not seen then....what's the point in obsessing over how neat it all looks? To me it's a bit like a kitchen...

    DIY - any advice or thoughts on why only my middle outlet is working?

    They are all connected to the same live "hot" wire, but only the outlet connected to the red wire will work. Here is a image and a drawing of the wiring. [Yellow = Hot], tested using multimeter. If anyone has any idea, I would be eternally grateful. Thank you.

    Thoughts on moving an existing CU

    Local funeral place is getting a new mortuary fridge unit, and needs some work done. The CU, just for the room, is high up in the corner, just above the fridge unit. Stupid place to have it, as you need to crawl over the top of the unit to get to it. 2 foot of crawl space, and my dodgy knee...

    Thoughts on this EV install

    Took this photo from a Facebook group where someone was asking advice about the CT. Regarding using the meter box in the first place and making holes in the side of the meter box.

    New Song (Thoughts Please)

    I composed the music in Logic Pro 9 and added Monks chanting over the top. Does it work? The monks come from the link below and I did have to do a little pitch adjustment to make it fit 2:30 onwards in the vid

    Thoughts please, SWA vs T&E

    I have a TPN board that will feed 8-10 sub boards. The loads on each board are negligible 5-10 amps peak but mostly 1-2 amps. The distribution circuits will be fed in 6mm mostly for VD reasons but also to allow some selectivity on the OCPD(MCB) my dilemma is SWA or T&E. The route is 98% tray...
