    UK Where to measure Ze, opinions welcome!

    Where do people record the Ze & PFC of a 3 phase installation, if there is say 10m of 25mm tails between the 4 pole isolator (next to the meter) and the 3 phase distribution board, therefore some (though negligible) resistance? Do you tend to test at the origin, and record that result, or do...

    I have a recessed light over a shower with a 4” glass cover. I broke the glass cover by dropping it :(. Are you able to buy a replacement cover or do you need to buy the entire metal housing and glass that comes with it? I don’t see this at Home Depot or Lowe’s without buying the whole thing...

    Over the holiday period my partner returned home to her apartment with no power. None of the internal breakers in the consumer unit had tripped and so she was unsure what to do.

We can go straight in to the internal copper earth bar as we have spare unnumbered holes for it , or we can lug it and go on...

    Where is it acceptable to run mini trunking?

    Is it acceptable to run mini trunking as shown in the pic? To my mind it would be safer (and slightly less ugly) to have a drop from each socket and then run it along the top of the skirting. I would be concerned about the trunking coming loose and being more likely to suffer mechanical...

    where can I get an a/c plug with restraint?

    So I want to arrange for a 120v a/c plug to be firmly affixed to the wall, such that it won't slip out of the outlet.
