Just wondering whether there is a plug in tool to test the signal of t.v points? Something similar to sky signal finder but to plug into a standard point? Recently been installing a lot of points and the thought of lugging a customers t.v all around a house/block of flats seem ridiculous. Thanks.
working in a house which has 3 xhard wired ethernet points,the client wants 2 x additionals in different rooms can someone let me know where the previous point would be connected to,do they tap them of a bt point or would there be a device somewhere in the house they would be connected to as...
Today's first job.
Householder is building a retaining wall and we have lost supply on one of our street lighting cables. Inspector has done cut and test and got voltage to one point but lost it further on. No visible damage to exposed section of cable.

Hello everyone!
Ive joined here in the hope of getting some helpful advice!
I live on a narrowboat and have no 240v power. Getting an electric hook up point could be an option but I know literally nothing about electric (except that I like it!).
The electric box which would supply the power...
Hi guys
ive not done any real testing on commercial jobs other than fault finding etc and was wondering, when dead testing lighting circuits would r1+r2 be accurate as the r2 will most probably not run the exact same route as the r1 with more connections etc so would you do an r2 flying lead...
Touched on this before, unable to find thread. Many thanks for your comments re isolation switches etc.
I've now decided to go for 4 x in line extractor fans all sited in the loft. Also that the isolation switch for each fan be sited along side each fan. The isolation switches will be...

Can any of you designers out there tell me how you go about sizing the conductor from the Star point of the transformer to earth?
By this i mean if there was a HV earth electrode around a 1000kVA transformer made up of 2 X 70mm bare copper conductors onto a common earth bare this would give a...
Does anyone know how to correctly size the earthing conductor from the star point of a 11kV/433V distribution transformer to ground for its reference. I believe that I can use the maximum single phase to earth fault current and then give it a 1sec/3sec withstand time depending on client, Is this...
I have been asked once or twice if I would fit an extra TV aerial point and I have always declined as this is not something I understand in depth so therefore dont want to do it.
I realise its fairly straight forward to just add a splitter/booster in the loft and run the cable to desired...
I'm off to look at a job this morning where the "outline" spec for an extension and along with the normal sparky bits there is requirements for HDMI cables to run from various points back to a central point.
I'm aware that some cables will run up to 15m - anyone got any experiences (good and...
Hi, I wondered if anyone can help me. I have a 3.5kw oven and am looking to buy a worktop hob. I have one cooker point in the kitchen and wondered if I can double up (wire both the hob and the oven to the same cooker point). It's currently on a 32a mcb. Thanks in advance
Looks like the government are fiddling again. Funding for domestic EV charging points, which should carry on until March 2015, may be pulled as soon as TWO WEEKS time. These people have absolutely zero idea of how a SME works. The domestic EV charging point scheme has attracted praise and...

Imagine a standard domestic <4kWp install on a 3 storey town house. Because of the geography of the house and the internal decoration there's no way to run a dedicated circuit back to the main board.

I’m currently doing a job where I have to replace 20 MCB’s with RCBO’s in the main consumer unit of a public building. I was told by another colleague, that you only had to trip test one RCBO and to use this figure for the remaining 19?
Surely this isn’t right, and you have to test the...
