    Large cable protective device and enclosures

    Hi, thanks for the reply. The run is 100m to a proposed feeder box, then a further 25m to a house and 50m to a small workshop. What switchgear would be best suited to using a parallel feed? I was goijg to TT this at each connection point with the runs being so long

    Large cable protective device and enclosures

    Hi, thanks for reading this. Ive been asked to look at a job where the DNO connection (single phase 80A TT) is a long run to the final circuits.

    Dimmable Gu10 nightnare

    Hi Hope everyone had a nice Xmas break. I got a varilight dimmer switch for a set of Gu10 LEDs about 60W of led. They seemed to work fine but over the course of a couple months some of the gu10s have gone off, some go out and then come back on. I was wondering if anyone had come across...

    Dimmer switch for LED GU10s

    Hi there. Quick one for you hopefully. Used an mk grid switch dimmer to switch GU10 led lamps. Load is well within the rating but soon as dimmer is on there's a hum.
