Thanks for all the replies. I’ll speak to DNO as telectrix says. Jut annoying that I only get chance to look at these things on Saturdaywhen they’re shut!
Been to look at a fuseboard upgrade.
The house has a 3-phase cutout. One phase isn’t used, and the other two phases feed a single phase meter each. The house therefore has two single phase meters, each feeding an old wooden Wylex board.
One meter/board does lights, garage and a few...
Dillb - I find the majority of faults tend to be resolvable within an hour, but a few can take much longer. When I have 2-3 weeks’ of work booked in ahead of me, and an employee who I have to pay whether we are working or not, then the practicalities of the job mean I can’t just leave a clear...
I used the time I had available to ascertain that the switch was faulty, megger the circuit LN to E and look at the wiring in the loft. I couldn’t replace the pull-switch as I didn’t have one in the van.
Rather than charge the customer for an hour’s worth of testing, leave him with a faulty...
Went to look at a job where the customer was complaining of his bathroom lights working intermittently and also that sometimes he was hearing ‘a loud noise like thunder’ when he turned his bathroom lights on.
Found that the connection in the light switch was ropey, and when the switch is...
Yes I've found the manual and indeed it looks like a straight swap. I know this was a slightly weird post but I'm just trying to be cautious because its outside my comfort zone. The manual says nothing about which phase does what. Is there any danger involved in interchanging phases or does it...
Thanks, will do.
But what I need to know now, at this point in time, is that IF I agree to swap this oven can I be fairly confident it will be five wires out and five wires in, and I won't get stuck and leave the customer with no oven? I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from.
Hi. I’m a spark with plentyof experience of domestic single phase but not much commercial, and 3 phase isjust a distant memory from college.
I have a customer who wants a 3-phase oven replacing. It’s on a suitable circuit with all-poleisolator so it should just be a simple like-for-like swap...
Hi all
I do mostly domestic work, tiny jobs to rewires. I'm inundated with work and desperately need to reduce the time I spend on admin so I can spend more time keeping up with demand. I was wondering how other people deal with quotes, invoices, certificates, notifications, etc. I currently...
Yes, this timer has a setting for gravity-fed systems, which it says does not allow indepedent setting of heating without hot water. So, I can put the timer on this setting and just transpose the wires?
