Hi
Just curious to see what people do if the work starts to go quiet.
Not really happened to us before!!!!!
We are general contractors, bit of everything (Schools, Restaurants, HVAC that sort of thing)
- Do you ring round existing customers just as a ‘Hello we are still here’ sort of thing...
Hello,
I'm currently in Scotland and I am looking to retrain to be an Electrician.
I was looking at going down to England and sitting my C&G 3 diploma (2365), Inspection and testing (2391-52), and 18th edition ( 2382-18).
Once I have these what work I am actually allowed to carry out and...
So I recently completed a 4 year apprenticeship, EAL Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering and HNC in Electronic and Electrical and now a qualified technician and got the job. I work with a lot of electromechanical equipment (conveyors mostly) but despite learning about...

Hi,
I need to run a spur from a main ring socket, however, it already is supplying a spur ( double unused socket ). Is the only way to disconnect the unused spur? Or can I incorporate a fuse? What's the safe way to do this please?
Thanks
I am replacing a 2 way switch with a smart switch. The old switch has three sockets - common, L1 and L2. I can see where the wire that went into 'common' goes on the new switch, hit the new one also has 'P' and 'L' instead of L1 and L2 - which wire goes where?
This is off the mainline above the weather head. On the end the wire got pulled out after a tree fall. Was this a fix from a previous wire rip?
Can someone suggest how I could go about fixing this or should I just pay the electric company to fix it? Im thinking just buy a new adaptor and...
Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask since it's more of a general question. I'm looking for a bit of advice. I completed my level 2 and 3 a few years ago and I'm now looking to get into electrics full time. The problem I have is I have no on-site experience. I technically have...
1. Does every powered item in bathroom needs fused spur outside?
2. Can separate RCD be required even if the supplied power is under CU RCD (for example whirlpool bath or underfloor heating)?
Please check and comment rough wiring diagram (there is no details like L N G etc, just rough...
Hi Everyone,
Fairly new to the forum I think I'm in the right thread.
I'm hoping to get some advice.
I originally served my apprenticeship as nvq level 3 electrical install and maintenance focused in commercial industrial.
That was nearly 20 years ago now. I ended up moving into multi skill...
Recently moved into a house and there are exposed wires (3 wires) for overhead lights. I just need simple lightbulbs put in, so I got lightbulb connectors (see picture). I have a couple of questions.
The 3 wires have this little attachment with two screws on them (see the picture - I took it...
Hi,
I’m currently working as an electrical maintenance technician for the RAF.
Although the apprenticeship scheme was top class, working life post apprenticeship hasn’t been what I’d hope for in terms of work load. Some weeks you can go a full week without doing any trade specific work...
I am in a bit of a pinch at the moment and trying to argue a massive amount of used of electricity with my provider which I find it hard to believe for my living circumstances. I am a single person who lives in a one bed flat and is out of the house from 9-5 during the week days, I am on an...
This is in regards to wireless light switches i posted to two other forums. Surely someone here has some experience with the switches that is willing to share. So here is the meat. I have no experience with these switches but I am considering one for the purpose of adding a switch where running...

I'm trying to install a pendant (single bulb) in a ceiling light fixture. I've run into an issue with the wiring of the fixture box.
Here's the setup of the wires:
5 green wires (never hot, I suspect ground)
5 white wires (never hot, I suspect neutral)
5 brown wires (one is hot but they are...
