    63A RCBO

    See attached file (added by Dan)* Says supply (grid) can go top or bottom, i would tend to use 1 for L and 3 for N

    UK Problem with EDF not recognising 3 phase in commercial unit

    As above we need to see where the cable enters the property from the grid and where it first terminates, then follow it as the meter should be close by. I can somewhat understand why EDF are struggling. So EDF are still billing, if you look at those bills it will give the MPAN No which is a...

    UK Problem with EDF not recognising 3 phase in commercial unit

    Gosh, can you take more photos of the 3 phase service head and the old meters, if that is the new meter, it is either a re-furbished one bought and installed by the builder or EDF have run out of meter stock and are supplying via RDL..... It certainly surprised me. I dont suppose there is any...

    UK Problem with EDF not recognising 3 phase in commercial unit

    Few questions: You say you had 3 supplies, i.e. 3 MPANs and 3 meters and received bills for all three prior. The only authorised mover of meters is the meter provider, i.e. EDF So how many of the original meters and supplies exist now, and how did a new meter rock up?

    UK Need help with cables

    Difficult to say, its possible that, although switched off, it could be a loop through for other stuff like lights. If so then something would need to be put in its place, possible below the coving or on the ceiling :-( An electrician will be able to advise after a few minutes on-site.

    RCCD tripping but subsequently found the problem

    The other devices in the adapter could have been class 2 devices and the a/c class 1. A portable a/c does not really pull that much power, but yes i have come across faulty adapters so good call to ditch it.

    UK Power factors

    Different meters can measure different things, e.g. They will all measure KW as generally that is what you pay for, many meters will measure KVA and KVAr also. They are all capable of dealing with PF, as mentioned, most of these issue get solved as i mentioned above. 0.98 is nothing to worry about.

    UK Power factors

    I would first check that all CT connected meters have been set up correctly, i.e. CT for L1 is actually on L1 etc, they should line up with voltage line. Check all CTs are of the correct value, i.e. 400/5 etc and that the meters have the correct CT configurations to match the CTs. Most issues...

    DALI lighting, need some basic info

    Another question, even though the controller spec indicates 3 X 64 drivers, could you have a group of lamps, say boardroom fed from say Dali line 1, driver 64 and Dali line 2 driver 1...... if you cannot combine lamp groups across the lines, that could mean you dont get all the benefit from the...

    DALI lighting, need some basic info

    Sort of confirms why someone needs to contact Philips. Below is a basic spec PDF https://dynalite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DYN_DDBC320-DALI_SPEC-R17.pdf At the end of it, i sort of read it as 64 / Dali Line with 3 lines ????? Does not surprise me that you end up with one driver per lamp...

    DALI lighting, need some basic info

    If it was my project , i would be getting the design approved by the manufacturer, Philips ? The last one i did, the biggest decision i had to deal with, which put me at odds with the lighting designer was whether to use one Dali Driver per lamp or one Dali driver per light zone, i.e. your...

    Linux based file server system

    If it needs to be linux, there are so many but i tend to stick to one flavour so the commands dont hurt my head between the different flavours, so i use Debian /ubuntu. Similar to above once you have vpn into your router, head for local machine ip address and SSH into it, like SSH...

    Linux based file server system

    1st question is : do you need to download files whilst out? 2nd question do you need a gui or could you manage on command line. 3rd Does it have to be linux Simplest: VPN directly into your home router, setup your repurposed box with windows desktop, give it a fixed IP and click on remote...
