    Lockable sockets wired wrongly

    During an eicr i found that all of the lockable sockets had reverse polarity , presumably from the manufacturer . Of course this also questions the installation electrician and testing or lack thereof . Has anyone else encountered this ?

    Ring wired doorbells (again!)

    I’m trying to install my Ring doorbell (2nd gen) and I’ve discovered that the transformer feeding my Freidland isn’t producing any power. I suspect that I connected the jumper lead between the wrong wires (thanks to Ring’s really confusing instruction!) so I now need to replace it. I don’t want...

    I purchased a new-build apartment 10 years ago, which came with a fitted oven and microwave. Both appliances are described by the manufacturer (AEG) as hard wired.

    Hi, My current oven is hardwired to a fused connection plate with a 13Amp fuse inside and power switch. That is then connected to the MCB labelled kitchen.

    Can someone explain how these storage heaters were wired via the contactor?

    Been round to a house to quote to replace some storage heaters for new panel heaters and came across a strange (to me at least) way of wiring the old storage heaters via a contactor in the board, as usually I see their own off peak consumer unit which powers up at night via economy 7. From the...

    Ring Video Doorbell Wired Installation Setup 3rd Party Accessories

    Hi, So I ended up with a Ring video wired doorbell instead of a Byron video wired doorbell as B&Q were out of stock (had ordered online) and they gave the Ring one at no extra cost (nice of them). Not what I was after but will have to make and do. I don't really want to fork out and buy the...

    If i've got a light with one cable, and its switch has one cable, how is it wired?

    A switch i saw today has a T+E in the switch and only a single T+E in the light fitting. I'm presuming this means it's junction boxed somewhere? Could someone point me in the direction of a potential diagram for such a set up?

    The house was built in 1977. I noticed at least two of the pictured objects secured to the attic ceiling. I don't know what they are and that leaves me frustrated. What are these wired items attached to the ceiling of the attic?
