Hello,
First of all, thank you in advance for any helpful insights posted in response to my question.
I have just moved into a new home. With my new home being in Florida, the thought of a hurricane wiping out power to my home for days or weeks is unsettling. So I've opted to purchase a...
Hi All,
I understand the requirement for PEN fault detection on EV chargers for TN-C-S installs (or to place an earth rod). However, when I was looking for something else entirely I came across this single-phase 100A PEN fault detector. What would be the use case for this? Would you ever need...
I have had three led strips installed under wall units as part of a kitchen refit. A new pattress box was fitted in a stud wall next to an existing switch. Cabling was then fed inside the stud and out of the wall at the bottom then along the floor to the next strip and so on. Not connected as no...
Wrong forum? U.S. here. If yes...my apology.
Naively, I thought the number of wires, and the the wire colors, would match. House was built in 1989 in California.

Hi there, long time lurker, first time poster here.
Straight down to it.. A friend asked me to add some sockets and additional lights to a small outside office they have tacked onto the side of their attached garage, no problem I thought, apparently the garage already has a DB in it with radial...

I have an older Crouse Hinds board with a 200A service. Due to recent rehab on the house, I found I have the need to install a sub panel. I installed a QO 125A panel, installed the PVC 1.5 inch conduit, and a 100A Siemens breaker in the Crouse Hinds. I then ran the 3 #2 wires to the box, wrappng...
Just had three split Air Con units installed at my home, the ones with an indoor and outdoor unit.
I (perhaps naively) trusted the installers when they said they could tap into the existing socket ring to power them. I had assumed they meant installing a couple of fused spurs.
What I've ended...
Trying to install an aftermarket pioneer stereo using an ISO Harness Adaptor - CT20VW02. I can't work out what to do with the red (ignition switch) & orange (illumination) wires.
