I installed outdoor lighting and outlets. I finished this past year. I passed my inspection on April 2022. I was so pleased, BUT now the circuit the outlets are on has a problem... the circuit keeps tripping. Question 1: I was wondering if there's a way to test the circuit breaker itself? Then...
I'm trying to replace two outside lights. This is something I've done several times but I'm losing my mind on this. I have to lights side by side in parallel. I'll refer to the first spot as #1 (it's on the right) and then #2 (on the left) is where the line ends.
I had an old basic light on #2...

someone I know asked me to do a EICR fast "as a favour" . Turns out he has had a 2 bed flat re decorated and was hoping he might be able to skip past the electrics and gas . But gas was fine and £75 later he has a GS cert and all is well.
Then I turn up....and its a nightmare for him . Needs...
All of our normal panel distributors are out and back ordered does anyone know who still has panels in Colorado or relatively close to southern Colorado?
Im in the process of fabricating a motorized flatbar roller, and I have a 240V 5hp AC motor with 4 leads. Im controlling it using a dual foot pedal box, that controls 2 contactors, which these 2 contactors are there to reverse the motor by having one contactor T1+T5 & T4+T8, while the other...
Hey electricians. Apologies for jumping on a question first round in but this LED light fixture is driving me slightly insane.
It has a dimming/color temperature changing driver that also runs bluetooth via a remote.
Driver IN has 3 wires:
White - Neutral
1 Blue, 1 brownishpurple - Both...
Slightly tongue in cheek title, but with all of the recent EICRs I've done, the new build flats built between 10-20 years old seem to cause the most issue for me.
Most of them have ended up satisfactory (with numerous C3s), but rarely without some adjustment or remedial work (I'm doing them for...
Struggling with adding a 3-way switch. I have a feed with 2 wire, a 2 wire to the light, and a 3 way ran just to my new switch in one box; a simple over head light, and my second switch box with just the one 3 wire. My question is how exactly to wire at each switch, all I seem to get is power...
Hello!
I recently upgraded the 110ah battery in my camper van for a 260ah AGM one.
My solar panels (200w via MPPT, soon to be doubled) struggle to keep up with my consumption, so once a week I hook up the battery to mains using CTEK's 5A charger, which supports AGM batteries but is not...
I have a Aritech CS450 which has been working fine for a number of years. All of a sudden the "Trouble" light came on the keypad.
I checked the logs and it showed "Fuses", so I checked the fuses - all ok
did a walk test - all ok
Tried an engineer reset - no different - light still on
The...
Hi All
I have tried to wire in a doorbell and I'm having trouble getting the wire through the hole on the inside to the outside and vice versa. I know the hole is at an angle and no matter how much wire I feed through it doesn't seem to come out the other end. I made the error of pulling out...

Hi guys.
I'm having trouble changing my light switches.
There are 2 sockets next to each other that power 2 separate lights. One has 3 wires but the second has no neutral wire. I can get the first switch to work but not the second
Hi all
Bit of advice needed. Got called to a job with a bunch of lights not coming on the set up is a 5 way board controlled via a timeclock and double pole contactor also has a small fuse inside of enclosure which is plug in fused wire type if you look closely at picture any ideas what could be...
Ok I give up.
In my new build, been having trouble with the above & heating. Heating has been staying on outside switching periods, e.g. in the middle of the night.
Got onto developer, and whilst waiting for them contacted Danfoss, who suggested it was faulty TP9000 (TP9000 was turning on...
