I have a 100W 50 ohms signal generator amplifier with a 35 meters coil wire (1.5 mm) as a load, BNC connectors. The requirement is that only the BNC POSITIVE pole is connected to the wire and used as antenna. The amplifier require a minimum of 4 ohms load. This is not a closed circuit antenna...
Look up before erecting any kind of pole! Someone in Burnley North West England though it would a good idea to put a pole, suspect wireless communications 1m away from some 132KV overhead cables. 'One wrong move could have resulted in a death’ say Electricity North West -...
I want to replace a double pole light switch that I currently have in my hallway cupboard that controls my porch light. I want to replace this with a smart light switch so that I can control it remotely without having to open and hallway cupboard every time which is very inconvenient. The switch...
Hi Everyone,
I’m currently working on an HMO where the supply cables run from the Ryefield board in the electrical riser to each apartment's utility cupboard.
At present, the armoured cable from the Ryefield board terminates in a Redhead fuse link, and from there, it connects to the consumer...
Hi there,
Just a quick question. I am rectifying many problems on some 3 phase immersion heater circuits in a plant room. There are 4 pole rotary isolators just before the immersion elements and the earthing arrangement is TN-S.
I noticed that the neutrals are connected into a dedicated...

I see quite a few breakers with these specs.....except they are 1 pole.
I have seen breakers that are twin single pole breakers and...
Good day.
This has always got me confounded.
Witha 4-pole 63A breaker, can someone please confirm/advise what the current carrying capacity of the component is?
Does the 63A current stamped on the product mean
1. 63A per pole?
2. A total of 63A but limited to 63A in any one pole?
If #1 is...
Hi everyone. The title should sound crazy enough, but it's what happening in my 72-years old home we've purchased 2 years ago.
I found the crazy wiring when I was just troubleshooting on a lighting which has been flickering, and finally completely failed recently. I recognized the lighting is...
Hi, I want to put downlights in my fire surround - possibly 3 but more likely going to be 2. They are 0.4w LED lights. I have a 12v 8w LED driver with a 6 way TOP connector on the end. I want to add an on/off rocker switch but I'm confused as to whether I need an SPST or an SPDT switch for this...
Hello. How i should connect this 1 phase 2 pole 400v cooling pump? If i apply 1phase 230v and neutral it Will only growl and "spin" very very slowly.
Thank you for help.
Bit confused about this.
When a simple 4 pole isolater like this plastic wylex one, is rated at 100amp, does that mean, 100amp per phase? So it could have 300amps going through it...
Hello,
I have a fairly big property and to get power to the house, there are several metal poles with the cables running along them.
I had multiple issues with lightning strikes and suspect that the lightning hits one of the poles and reaches the house through that route.
Additionally, the...
Has anyone used one of these KT1700 - Kewtech - https://www.kewtechcorp.com/products/kt1700/
and are they approved in place of the usual 2 pole testers?
My kitchen had an extension at some point and the 2 lights are switched from a 2 gang light switch. It's separate circuits so I can't join them together, ideally I need one module to switch both circuits switch lines, so the lights come on together. Then use the other gang for something else...
I replaced a single pole to exterior lights with a smart switch. Next to it is a 3way to my foyer light. The foyer and the smart switch to exterior works. However I seem to have killed the power to an exterior outlet. In order to get the switch to work, I had connect the red switch pigtail...
Looking at instructions for installation for Baumatic BHI300 it requires a 20A Double pole (3mm separation) switched fused spur, I quote pretty well verbatim from the pdf manual! I have never heard of such an accessory, but I have lived a sheltered life and willing to be surprised. Anyone heard...
I have above mentioned breaker which does not have any markings to show which is the neutral pathway, I wish to fit it directly above a 3 phase 4 way surge protector which has its neutral on the right hand side and so would ideally want to connect the neutral above it on the right hand side of...
Hello --- In the planning stages for a new custom home build -- The house will be several hundred feet from the road and I want to have the power underground --- I am wondering if I should inquire about having a pad mount transformer in close proximity to the Power Pole Source rather than a pole...
Hi everyone,
I have moved into a property with a 63a single pole rotary isolator controling a inline water heater. Is this safe? Surely it should be a 63a two pole isolator switching both the live and neutral?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
So regulation 722.531.3.1 says RCD's shall disconnect all live conductors.
Is this requirement met if the charger itself contains a DP RCD? As presumably there is no reason that the installed circuit requires a DP RCD? in fact depending on cable type and install methods the cable may not need...
