    Hello, I need to run a mains spur off the existing ring main in a domestic property. To get the double socket to the correct place I have to drill through several joists.

    DIYer here. I'd like to install an electric car wall charger myself. It calls for 6/2 romex which I have. Unfortunately my panel is in my basement on the opposite side of the basement from my garage. AND my basement is finished (drywalled ceiling). The finished walls are metal studs and...

    Can Live wire runs through the Neutral side of RCBO?

    So I had an inquiry to make an electric panel (single phase) with RCBO, but it seems like our customer uses type C and F power plug (I live in Indonesia). This plug doesn't have a guide to ensure the Neutral would always be in Neutral side & Live to always be in Live side. Can I still use RCBO...

    Lighting cable through mdf

    I am making a lamp and I need to run the live, earth and neutral wires through a hole in 25mm mdf. The outer sheath is removed due to a switch. Everything works until the wires go through the mdf. Then the live has no current. The hole is about 6mm diameter. What's happening? Thanks.

    No power on boat through shore cable in marina

    I plugged in my 50A marine shore power cable but received no power on my boat. The receptable at the pedestal definitely delivers power and when I test with my DMM, i read 117V between W and G at the end of my shore cable to my boat. There is sitting a device at my boats fuse box which shows a...

    220 volts ran through one hot wire

    I recently tore down all the wiring in my grandfather’s garage he wired himself and i’m genuinely surprised it didn’t burn to the ground after 40+ years, but there’s some things I need some help with. He’s long gone so that’s that. First off, he only had 1 hot wire supplying 220v to his air...

    Success through small claims?

    I had done a job for a lady in June, pretty big job. When I finished it was getting later in the evening so I decided to stop by with the bill the following morning. When I got there the next day, she was acting all out of sorts claiming that her savings had been stolen from her safe and that...

    Current leaking through some On/Off switches?

    Hey! I bought a few simple on/off switches that you plug into a socket, and they have a single output which is either on or off depending on a toggle on the switch. It's AC current. However, as I put a LED onto one of them, I noticed it was dimly lit even after the switch was set to off...

    Passing another circuit through back box

    Had a bit of a ‘discussion’ today with another electrician. Basically found a light switch in which the radial cable for a socket directly below (but about 3ft lower) passed through. Other electrician said it was wrong and shouldn’t be done. My take was that it is, at best, a bit of bad...

    Hi! I’d like to install a pedestal-mounted (230 V, 30 A max - programmable) EV charger close to my driveway, which ends about 12 feet away from the house, on the other side of a landscaped rock wall of sorts. While I am at it, I would like to oversize the circuit to allow a second EV charger to...

    Weatherproofing SWA armoured cable through wall

    I have a slightly odd requirement that means I am wanting to route a 3 core 4mm SWA cable (14mm outside diameter) from outside through a cavity wall into a garage to the isolator just inside. The cable is actually carrying DC feed from a small solar ground installation. How should I shield the...

    Hi all, Just moved into a house and typically now finding a fair few issues. Hoping to have an EICR done at some point, would've done this before we bought it but the house was renovated and rewired in 2013/14 and we had the regs papers for it so went ahead without. A bit of further digging in...

    Can't fish cable back through

    Hi, I wanted to slightly re-route a badly routed 6mm2 twin and earth flat cable, that leaves my utility room through the plasterboard, the wall and then to a junction box on the outside wall. I disconnected the Wago connectors in the junction box and pulled the cable through, but now can't get...
