Who owns the Recognised Trademark “Electricians Forums” (or anything close i.e. Electrician Forum .co.uk) in the UK?
" There appears to be some confusion over the domain name electricansforums.co.uk, and electriciansforums.co.uk. We have been asked a few times by potential buyers of the company what is going on with this domain that’s similar to ours. So I wanted to clear up something so it’s easy to...- Rockingit

Linux based file server system
Probably right up @Dan 's street.... I'm thinking of ridding myself of all the various cloud storage accounts that seem to be the disease of online life and instead convert a machine into a network file server to sit on my home network, accessible from the outside world. Thirty years ago I...- Rockingit

UK Is 0.00 an acceptable R1+R2
Results can be found by........ measurement, enquiry or calculation. To my mind, it is better to put the calculated value that you have of 0.002Ω because otherwise any other normally calculated values such as pfc automatically become effectively void as well (230/0 = 0, 230/0.002 = 115,000).- Rockingit

Time to change my energy supplier
Interesting. Also bulb to Octous except they instantly wanted to triple my DD ‘to keep on track’. I was having none of it and refused, saying let’s give it a year and if we’re adrift then I’ll pay the difference, no problem. Since then have been keeping a meticulous spreadsheet of readings and...- Rockingit

Which sds drill brand or specs ?
Tip: Generally speaking, once you start collecting battery power tools then you'll want to keep with the same brand as that way the batteries are interchangeable and you can save money by buying 'bare' units that don't come with a battery. So look for a product range that'll suit your needs...- Rockingit

Permanent metal building
This all sounds like the proverbial bag of spanners, to me. Firstly, if connected via a 32A socket then the socket requires 30mA RCD protection (simply because it's a socket <= 32A) which in turn then means you can't manage discrimination with the downstream RCBO's. That's just poor design...- Rockingit

Phase wiring in single cores
If you're running a 5c feed then a roll of black and grey single cost the same as brown, so it's a no-brainer. Where using brown as purely the only colour in a 3ph distribution to 1ph outlet scenario can get muddled is simply in cable management and identification back at the feeder board - in...- Rockingit

How many devices?
Interesting. I say that as most domestic grade ISP routers are only good for 20-25 connections as far as I can tell. I moved to a business service at home purely to benefit from fixed IP and a decent(ish) router. Yes, Ibiquiti, yadda yadda yadda.....- Rockingit

How many devices?
Not intended as a peeing contest, but genuinely wondering what the average house (OK, it's here so the average sparkies house...) has in terms of connected LAN/Wifi devices. I've just been messing about with ours (no thanks to Sky Business...) and counted up the active/recent devices on the...- Rockingit

2024 + 2025 TV and Movies Thread
Don't really watch TV. The Aussie will come in from work and watch re-runs of NCIS for the 20th time whilst I make supper and then we'll fire up a Netflix/Prime something for a couple of hours. I even ditched the Sky box a couple of months ago as it was doing absolutely nothing that the smart...- Rockingit

Advice for apprentice
OK, so.. Firstly the tables in the OSG and BS7671 are there to make our lives easier by having done most of the commonly found maths already - they don't replace actually applying the various formulas and equations which can often give slightly different results. Secondly, we build what we...- Rockingit
