    How is 0.2s disconnection time met on TT?

    Hi all, studying for 2391 and confused on disconnections times for TT systems Now I’m comfortable understanding the disconnection times for TN systems that need to be met which is 0.4s and because the Zs will be low enough to cause a high Ipf to cause the MCB to operate within 0.4s… also from...

    #4 of my 5 a week...and not a rant this time!

    Back to the Men's Shed today to complete the installation of the 4 LED battens in the attic. These were a joy to fit, having screwed the units to the supports yesterday and run the cables. I pre-wired them, leaving decent Tails, because their location is tricky and overhead, so wiring them at...

    UK First time NAPIT assessment

    Hi, There are a few variations of this question here so apologies if its a bit of a broken record but I can't quite find the exact answers I'm after. Straight to the point: Has anyone recently had a first time NAPIT assessment? If so, were you able to show work in your own home? I know this...

    An odd question, but what is the time from radio 4? Looking at duel tariffs and when they change high to low rate?

    I have read all I can find about radio 4 and tele switching, but can't find if this changes when our clocks change. It all started when I decided to get a smart meter fitted, and once fitted may as well get duel rate and recharge my 3.2 kWh batteries over night as well as using solar, this seems...

    Daylight saving time

    Why is it that so many timers, programmable thermostats (and the like) are still manufactured without the ability to automatically change the time between GMT and BST at the right moment, despite being sophisticated in so many other ways? OK, a rhetorical question and I know there are some that...

    First time I've seen a melt down

    Hello, as a relatively newly qualified electrician (mature trainee who completed his NVQ in 2023) today was the first time I've seen a melted plug. It was at a rental property and the tennant had a fan heater hanging on to what was left of the plug. I'm guessing that the fan heater had been...

    How to add a time delay to a bathroom fan

    Hi I'm looking for some advice for adding a time delay on my parent's shower room fan. My parents had a section of their garage converted into a shower room with toilet. But the builders did something a bit odd. They fitted a pull cord light switch by the door and then a separate pull switch...

    UK First time DiY post - trying to find a 2 pin connector for some lights

    Hello, 1st time post from an amateur. I have some old Habitat decorative lights that are powered by a transformer. There seems to be a break in the wiring as the lights go off when the wire is moved around so I was going to shorten the wire. The problem is that I can't find a replacement...

    Need the right Time Delay Relay

    Having to wire around a messed up output for a month or so. Some sort of program corruption is keeping the central lubrication system from operating at the correct intervals. I've never had to do this so I'm not sure which sort of On Delay/Off Delay setup could be used. But I need a 1 minute...
