Good afternoon all,
I am new here, so please excuse my inexperience...
I am looking to add CCTV external outdoor microphones (Netview External microphone) to all 10 of my IP Camera's (Bosch FLEXDOME 5000 outdoor HD). The IP camera's are some distance away from the PoE Switch and NAS storage...
Hi all, I want to do these leds in my hall with random sizes and spaces, how would you go about wiring it? , getting thin cable from say 6 or 7 led pieces so long as they are under 5 metres and all back to a central point for connection to the driver .
I need to clarify something that's rattling around in my head.
I was taught when testing lightning protection systems that the maximum permissible combined electrode readings shouldn't be over 10 ohms. So we would test all the electrodes individually then work out resistance in parallel.
We...
Any contactor specialists out there?
I have multiple machines that are connected via extraction ducting to a 2KVA 3 phase extraction fan on the external wall.
At the moment I rely on machine operators to switch the extraction fan on before using any of the machines (not all machines are used...
Hi guys,
Might be a silly question but I cant seem to find a definitive answer anywhere but Is there an issue with branching from a radial lighting circuit?
Reason I couldn't just wire them in series is because I am restricted on circuit length. I personally cant see why this would be a...
Hi, I am resitting my FICA Underpinning Knowledge test next week and I stuck on a few questions in the mock tests they have on their website. I have been doing a lot of revision but my brain has gone to mush. Can anyone help with the following question?
Question - The maximum earth fault loop...
Hello.
Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in (still trying to work out where the trainee section is).
Just been doing some practice fault-finding online.
Found this scenario:
After doing initial verification on an outbuilding with its own DB, which is supplied from the main DB...
Just after people opinions on this.
I ve just finished installing a kiosk which supplies 3 buildings,
The DNO was not clear on the earthing system they would be providing, in case I ended up with PME I earthed the submain armouring only at the kiosk
(2 core SWA) and isolated it at the load end...
Hi. A DIYer here.
This may seem like a simple issue, but I can't find a clear answer:
When wiring up say, 6, LED downlights (230 volts, 5 watts each), should they be wired in series or parallel?
If in parallel, how should they be connected to the mains cable, bearing in mind that screw-type...
Hi everyone, just a quick question, Earth rods aren’t my strongest subject and I have no access to my 7671 at the mo, what’s the regs or guidance for installing multiple Earth rods?
Issue I’ve had was services in the way, can the Earth rods be put into a different pattern than a square or a...
Hi lovely people.
Just thinking aloud here wondering if anyone has any points I should consider.
Been to do a quote on an outbuilding which has had an electrical supply for some time for lights & a couple of sockets. The building is basically a lounge with toilet & utility room.
The owner wants...
Hi Guys
Just moved into a property that was half commercial & half residential. There are three electrical meters - two with npower & one with Scottish power - which we now want to consolidate into one as the property is fully residential. Who does the necessary work? Thanks.
Hi guys
I could not find a suitable place for my question so I wanted to post it here. I have a kitchen extension coming up and I wanted to deal with smelly foods for good. A cooker hood just doesn't cut it for me. I could think of many reasons why that would be the case, possibly clogged...
I have just been asked to do an EICR on a fairly large commercial building, up until now my experience of EICR's has been on domestic buildings so need a bit of advice on how to do the certificate please!!
The main distribution board is a 3 phase board which then feeds 8 consumer units...

I'm trying to design a complete rewire for House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO), but going round in circles as there seems to be endless possibilities. I’m sure everyone will have a different view but hopefully after bouncing a few ideas around there might be a more obvious solution.
Background -...
All,
Usually a bit more prudent with this stuff, however I find myself unable to wire up a fuse box controlling a light. I'm also fairly sure a motion sensor light on the landing outside my front door is contolled by this box.
Photo attached. 3 supply cables from the wall and the wiring up to...
Hi guys,
I'm currently wiring up a 2 bed new build and have been asked to supply a TV point in each bedroom and 1 in the lounge. I haven't really done them before so I have a question. Do I need to install a splitter with a radial to each point or can I daisy chain the 3 points? Problem is...
Hey everyone!
I'm trying to create lighting with hanging filament LED bulbs, something similar to the image below.
For various reasons I can't buy the ceiling fittings and will have to settle for ones with UK 3 pin plugs. I've found one on ebay with the description that reads "Up to 60W...
