    What's wrong with this? It supplies an immersion heater, it's not the disconnected line & neutral.

    Why doesn’t my light turn on?

    Hi all. First post here. My old LED floodlight failed and I went to replace with what I believed was the same product from screwfix. However they’ve changed the design. Instead of putting the wires into the back of the unit (which made sense) now it’s a pre made wire that hangs out meaning it...

    What's wrong with this subpanel?

    Bought this 35 year-old house 5 years ago. On numerous occasions have found the 50A breaker in the main panel that supplies a subpanel in the detached garage, tripped for no apparent reason. Little if anything running in that garage at the time. I have a suspect as to what it might be, so I'm...

    DIY - Apartment wrong 4-prong 220v wiring, how to fix myself?

    Hello all, I'm an amateur DIY home-owner that recently moved into an apartment for a 6-month military assignment and these maintenance workers here are clearly incompetent and just do the bare minimum at EVERYTHING, including electrical work. So I moved in here and my dryer had the 3-prong...

    What have I done wrong?

    I've recently had a ceiling replastered, and rather than wait for the electric to be turned off, the plasterer yank the light fitting off the cables. Now I've come to try and wire a strip light up, I can light it up, but it's on permanently. Anyone tell me what I've connected up wrongly? Don't...

    What did they do wrong?

    The company I work for hired some guys to install a new panel for new equipment. So they pulled 400amps 3phase from our engine room. They ran it to a 400amp panel, then fed a transformer with a 100amp breaker to feed a 200amp 208v panel. Now we have 130v to our 120v receptacles and the...

    What's gone wrong here

    Ok, I admit this stuff should be left to electricians now! I was fitting a new ceiling light and it's caused some issues. I got the ceiling light to work fine but now it's knocked out (but not tripped) the rest of that circuit and I don't know why. It looks like some lights still go on but only...
