Hey there, I've done some simple electrical work, but I'm no expert.
I'm installing a new LG 24 inch dishwasher (Model #LDT5678SS) with 120 volts and 15 amps.
The power cord provided is 5.4 feet which is too short to reach the closest outlet. I need a cord that is at least 8 feet. The last...
New induction motor turned up at work today.
The entry options are now 20mm and 45mm.
The previous motor was wired in 5 core, 6mm S/Y, through a 32mm compression gland.
I would prefer to make the S/Y off with a proper cxt gland.
A cxt32 is the size I will need. I am not sure what size the...
Currently struggling a bit to find suitable lights to fit above a garage door on the soffit. The soffit has a solid joist/beam directly above it so recessed lighting isn't an option, but the customer doesn't want anything too high profile - just wants ambient lighting for the front of the garage...

I've swapped out a traditional switch for a smart switch. As you can see, the back box is nice and full, there's no chance it'd fit and I don't fancy pushing my luck and squashing everything.
I think there's breeze block right behind this box so I don't think chipping away for the additional...

This is how I think one would need to wire Hive on the very old C Plan which has no tank thermostat, however I have been told on another forum the relay is not required, and it can be configured with software to switch pump and boiler with central heating and just boiler for domestic hot water...

Hi guys,
I’m currently doing quite a bit of work on a large boiler park, up and down to the gantrys quite often.
What are people using to transport tools up and down with them? I’m sick of using a rope and pulley to lift my tool bag etc up.
Thanks
just wondering what people would think would be the best way of doing this.
i have got to provide a supply up to a workshop in a garden (about 80 mtrs from the house). it will run underground all the way and then in the subfloor of the house that is currently being worked on all the way to the db.
