    Test Probe recommendations

    Hi, I've come across an unexpected problem. I've started to use the newer slimline wago 221 connectors, and when I came to do my continuity tests I found my kewtech test probes are too short to reach all the way inside the test port on the connectors. My KT63 is getting on a bit and I believe...

    Using our MFT on 500v IR as a damp test probe?

    OK, Stop laughing at the back! SO, I'm house hunting and, ignoring the number of beautifully decorated houses with rubbish electrics - I also want to be aware of any damp issues. This led me to try using the trusty Megger with sharp probes to test for damp. This appears to work, or at-least is...

    dry ufh. Floor temp probe positioning?

    Arranging ufh in kitchen+adj utility. Lots of conflicting advice re probe position. (What makes sense to me). 1. Fit in conduit for ease of replacement. 2. Fit 'close' to heating element (which is what it is sensing). Without touching. 3. Fit as close as sensible beneath the controller on...

    Do any sparks do underfloor heating?

    Just had a call to give someone a quote for dry underfloor heating which I declined as I haven't done it before and I'm sure it's within my capability to do it but I wouldn't quote for something I have no experience of. Just curious if other electricians do dry underfloor heating?

    Why Am I Having Problems Detecting Current At Wall Outlet With Gs38 Probe?

    Hi, I have purchased a Kewtech KT1780 Voltage Tester. But I can't get it to do a double pole test. The instructions show the user inserting the probes into the wall outlet. But I don't get any indication when I put the probes into the wall outlet. Is it because the probes are too small? I...
