    3 way switch with black and white wires connected

    I have a fair amount of basic electrical experience but have never dealt with 3 way switches. I am upgrading the 1970's wiring in my attic and came across a light fixture controlled by a 3 way switch. If the 3 way switch is in the off position, the switch on the other end does not function. The...

    Emergency lighting black and white wires

    Hello, I feel a bit stupid asking this on site now as the spark looking after me has already mentioned it, but why would an emmergency lighting system have a separate 2-core fire performance cable (black and white cores) pulled in with the FP200? I’m sure it’s called a ‘bell’ or ‘belling’ cable...

    Can I join the black wires? Need to improve some hacked French wiring to restore timer control

    So, I'm checking why the heating won't work in a little apartment in France. There are 4 wall-mounted electric heaters and there is a timer on the wall which should be controlling them all via a pilot wire. There is a note on the timer in badly scrawled French about the new heater meaning the...

    Why bother getting a gold card when they're giving away black ones.

    I think I've given up on our industry now. More dumbing down from the JIB.
