    UK Steel Tape Armour and Reduced Neutrals

    Hi, someone has ordered Steel Tape Armoured cable instead of SWA. Can I use this armour as a CPC the same as SWA or not and if so is there a table so that I can check the figures. Secondly, correct me if I am wrong but 3ph with a reduced neutral should only be used on a balanced load ie a...

    Dumb idea, or genius. (Temp range of LED tape

    Daydreaming today while at the ice rink. Last day of the season, and they turned on their disco lights and music. I got to thinking about embedding lights actually in the ice. Would it be possible? Not worried about the waterproof nature, but more any heat generated by a standard LED tape...

    Advice on decent RGBWW tape and wifi controllers

    I'm doing a job which needs LED tape under shelving, 6 shelves with ~1.2m of RGBWW tape under. I've used downlightsdirect and downlights.co.uk for tape before with no issue, but quite pricey at 12.68/m. They are also probably a bit over powered for what will be ambient light under shelving, but...

    Maybe use copper Earth tape?

    I'm installing a new supply to a ceremoniously dumped welfare cabin. I can't see any legitimate reason not to apply section 717, welfare units are specifically mentioned and the thing is a mobile/transportable unit. In turn this dictates that it shouldn't be connected to a TN earth as to my...

    Earthing with solid rock below surface - burying tape for lightning earth

    A quick search for earth tape didn't come up with much, though this thread was of interest. I'll start by mentioning that I've led a sheltered life and only ever dealt with PME (TN-C-S) so never had to deal with earth rods. At our church, we've had an inspection of the lightning protection...
