Hi,first off this does not relate to work I intend to DIY. I'm trying to sanity check information I've been asked to provide to the installers.
I want the solar invertert to connect in the garage, where there's a DB fed from the house via SWA.
This is what's asked ..
As the proposed PV...
Does this look normal? I live in a apartment and this is what the wall and the ceiling look like above my electrical box. I also can not plug maybe more than 4 things in at the same time without blowing a breaker.
(Every GFCI in my house has a red light and is doing what im about to describe)
None of these outlets have a spot for a green light (that I can see)
I noticed the red light was on. (Solid, not blinking)
I plugged in the outlet tester which indicted it has power and is wired correctly.
I...
Got a jolt from the metal frame of my 2020 Sony KD-65X9000H TV.
Measuring 120VAC at all times unit is plugged in. Now I know there's often some leakage with double insulated items but I thought that 120v seemed fairly high.
Is that somewhere around the expected amount to leak?
Contacted Sony...
Gosh, I've been asking a lot of questions today, this one's a big ask.
I don't know about the peaks and troughs of working in this industry but it feels like things have slowed right down in the last few months, compared to last years work. It's slowly ticking along, rather than being swamped...
Hi, I'm troubleshooting a 'smart switch' issue which is connected to an existing fluorescent 4' 2-bulb (T8) fixture where I have replaced the fluorescent tubes with LED drop-in LED T8 tubes (no re-wiring necessary, so ballast is still in the circuit). Vendor indicates that the switch may be...
Just been to view a house that I'm thinking of buying and I looked at the fuse box there seems to be three or four different fuse boxes I don't know what this even means??
'Looks' a nightmare, it's a rental investment so before I put an offer in I was hoping someone knowledgeable could offer an...
I’ve had an electrician rewire my house.
Is it normal for him to leave it like this…
Also, some switched were the wrong way round.
Is this normal to leave it like this for me to sort out or should they at least clean the plaster splashes off?
My daughter has just purchased an all electric flat with a normal / low rate meter, pictured.
A few questions:-
- Apart from checking hour by hour how can she tell when the supply switches to low rate?
- I know the switch over timing is controlled by the electricity supplier, but how accurate...
Hi,
I have a standard single ceiling light that I wish to convert to a set of three light fittings, physically right next to each other and controlled by the same switch.
What is the correct (and preferably easiest) way to connect this up?
Kind wishes - Patrick

I have garden lights and lights on my fence that I would like to arrange for them to switch on automatically when the sun sets for security purposes. I currently have switches for all the lights on the fence and the garden lights are huge LED appliances that are also hooked up and switched on by...
Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could help me out with this. How would you go about operating normal lights with a maintained fitting ? eg, one maintained bulkhead and 4 Downlight's. A key switch with a separate 1 gang light switch next to it. The light switch to operate the bulkhead and...
For a few weeks I've had my upstairs lighting circuit on and off at the board, not noticed anything.
Last week my decorator buried some of the cables coming out of the alarm box (just above my fuse box/consumer unit). When I now switch on the upstairs lighting circuit, there's a red light on my...
Hello
So my ungrounded PC case have some potential/voltage on it. Of course when i ground the case there's no voltage reading. But my question is -is it normal for an ungrounded PC case to have voltage? I mean PC power supply, should not pass 12V on the case, it should be isolated, right? No...
My appartment building has hallway plugs with a different fitting to every day plug sockets - it's the same as a normal uk plug socket except the distance between the top hole and bottom two is considerably shorter. What kind of socket is it?
Advice gladly accepted.
So I’ve spent well over £1000 and loads and loads of time studying for the City and Guilds 2391 exam with the NICEIC. Did the course last week and took and passed the multi choice test on the fourth day, with the practical and written test left to do. I was told when I...
