Inspired by another thread, which I don't wish hi-jack.
Can anyone recommend a decent, relatively low price punch down tool?
I've had a cheap one which was junk and a brand name (can't remember which) from which part of the actual punch sheared. I don't terminate data modules regularly, but it...
hello just registered and I would like to introduce myself my name is stax no one uses my Christian name I am a journeyman industrial electrician working out of west Texas
hi guys
So I've been told that if you get your 2391 quals before you've been qualified for 2 years you have to wait for the 2 years since qualifying to get the title of being an approved electrician? Is this across the board or just for companies registered with the JIB?
Very silly question.
I want to search for a whole phrase....
e.g. Welcome to the forum
When typing that into the search it searches for each individual word.
I have tried putting the search in speech marks "Welcome to the forum". but with still the same result.
What am I doing wrong...
Hi, security isn't really my field. But I'm looking at going down the smart home system for indoors. I'm looking at Loxone, I'm after a good sounder for outside (research has come back with Rapier?). Also a good CCTV that will work with Loxone (although most will anyway).
Thanks
Twice now I have requested entry to the electricians Arms (having met the minimum posting requirement) but have not had a single response, either positive or negative.
I can only assume that that time I was drunk and flirting with the Landlady, got me barred....... :)

Hi all,
I decided to change the flex on a small 2kw heater as it came with a fairly rigid wiring to the plug. I was surprised to find there wasn't an earth being used. Also the heater it replaced had a cut-out switch on the base, this one hasn't. Explanation please. Thank you.
Hi all, I've been surveying 12 blocks of flats today with a view to doing full eicr's on the lateral mains and landlord lighting supplies. All the main services terminate at a Henly distribution board with no cut-out or main fuses. See pic, I've done very little on pme supplies and wonder if...
Every loose, chargrilled connection I've come across has been with the neutral conductor, never the line. Now, I've had a drink so go steady, but why is it so? Why doesn't the line arc and chargrill? Is it just I haven't seen enough yet? The drunken theory in my head is any current that arcs in...

I have met many electricians, some of who appear to be good and some of who clearly don't have a clue. My question is: Who is the best Electrician in the UK and how can this person hold this title?
Maybe a point of contention, but this year I plan to register with a scheme and start setting up a business. Now, some will say "but you'll only have a Level 2" - that's correct, I'll be starting my Level 3 in September, but I want to start and build a business up in the summer, doing smaller...
