Hi all, two questions that I am hoping someone can shed some light on.
1. What is a typical rating for a high voltage discharge lighting circuit, i.e. a large sign? Can't seem to find anything online and it's not the type of work we do.
2. I'm struggling to find out how to convert kva to watts...
I've got some Legrand dimmer modues, 7354-46.
They are rated at 300w but with the setup that I have I'd really like to use one of them on a circuit with a load of 420w.
I've read before that MK dimmers can handle 200% of their rated load.
Anyone know how much these Legrand dimmers can handle...
I'm not an electrician and have had a nightmare of a time trying to sell my Dads stock. I have shifted nearly everything but 11 low bay ansell 250 watt low sodium lights, 1 pre wired 5pin comination unit, 6 IP65 units (+bulbs for them) and some miscellaneous switches fittings bulbs etc I am...
Just how much current can a 13 amp fuse potentially (no pun intended) pass?
I've seen loads plugged into fused multi-ways in excess of 3120 watts and wondered if anyone had ever tested this.
New here so sorry if this has been asked to death!:waving:
What is the background night time power consumption in your house when you are asleep?
A/ Less than 100 watts?
B/ 100-200 Watts?
C/ 200-300 Watts?
D/ 300-400 Watts?
E/ 400-500 Watts?
F/ Greater than 500 Watts?
Ill be honest with you, I dont know what is watt (pun) when it comes to these 3.
Id love for someone to be able to explain this in the more easiest way to read you can possibly think of :D
I think this wont only benefit me, but alot of us trainees as I know that this question is wanting to be...
First of all, I would like to apologize for creating an account solely to ask my question. I honestly don't know where else to turn to find out this information; I've exhaused every google search and the knowledge of people around me. I'm hoping someone won't mind helping me with this.
I live...
This has no doubt been asked often by non electrical minded folk like me but when a socket extension says maximum 13amps, does actually that mean 4 plugs fitted with 3amp fuses like desk lamps etc (or 5a+5a+3a) or does it go by the actual amps of the equipment and you could have say 6 plugs with...
Hello, i am new to the solar powered world and i enjoy reading about it , but i need some help trying to figure my math out, basically i need 36 volts and 150 watts. this is for a well pump ( it can use from 12.6- 40 volts ) made to wire directly to panels. I am wanting to make the panels...
Hi
I'm interested to know what the relationship is between the two scales on these graphs; AC Watts generated and DV Volts. This is the last two days output from our 20 panel 4kw installation.
Can anyone explain it in plain English? :)
Hi guys
Appreciate a bit of help please. I know this isn't really an auto electrics forum, but I'm hoping maybe somebody will know anyway, not sure there's a better forum to ask this in?
So I'm disabled, and I need to find a safeguard way to re-charge my mobility scooter in my Ford Transit...
I have a quote which I would like to go ahead with, but with the proposed cut off with fits, will the below system have any problems with SSE DNO and how would I complete the application form to ensure no problems as there is no space to state two invertors. or would it be safer to reduce by...
I'm due on the C&G 2399 course next week and hopefully I'll come away with more answers than questions but one thing I keep seeing is inverters seemingly over rated in that a 3.6kW inverter is recommended for a 4kW system.
Could anybody please offer a brief reasoning behind this?
Im confused about doing the PFC test in the AM2, i no you have to test N-L1-E, N-L2-E, N-L3-E but im not too sure whether i have to test been phases i.e.

have recently been asked to quote for a job and the customer has asked me about 300w panels. Have searched the market and there dosnt seem to be any panels of that size in the uk. Was wondering whats the biggest panel on the uk market and who supplies them. Any help would be much appreciated...
Hi can anyone say if there is a conversion factor for watts to candle power. I had cause to buy a 12v/ 20w bulb, but was a given a 35 candle power rated one and was advised it is the equivalent, can anyone advise. Thanks. alimaj.
