    Why cover earth wire?

    for T@E cable, we cover the bare earth wire with a sleeve of green / yellow. Why? The basic idea is that if there is a fault then the live wire meets with the earth and covering the wire with insulation potentially stops this action in some cases. Is it not better to have the bare wire to...

    Do the standard C&G's at Lvl 3 cover industrial work?

    Just wondering as i see a lot of people say there's a lack of industrial electric knowledge. If they don't, what is the follow on qualification after the NVQ3+AM2 that can get you into industrial sparkying, or would it be just a work-based thing with the same theory but bigger cabling etc? Thanks.

    Switch box and cover for L14-20 and L6-20 Receptacle/plug pair

    I posted a question yesterday about sizing an electrical switch box cover. I realize that my question is even more basic than that - its about both a switch box and a cover that can accommodate 220 volt, 20 amp plugs/receptacles. I am retrofitting the electrical supply to an old stand-alone...

    Hey Grandma, this is how you suck an egg.

    Bit of a long shot, new cover for 20 y/o contactum board?

    Metal Contactum board installed 1998 according to the labelling. Unfortunately it has a plastic flap covering the front of the devices.
