Essentially I have a "normal" socket in a ring mains, i.e. one 2.5mm T&E going in and one 2.5mm T&E going out.
I am looking to simply add two more sockets. Easy enough from a wiring perspective.
But my question relates to the location of the wiring itself. The sockets will be cut into a new...
Hi guys.
Having a weird problem in a house that has suddenly happened.
One half of the ring main has 240ish volts (fluctuates of course), and the other half is dropping to 210v - This is when I test L-N and L-E…. N-E shows nothing. Whenever I plug a table lamp in the the faulty side of the...
Hi.
Has anyone ever taking a feed from
an outside light to use as a spur to fit an outside plug to plug in a plug in ring camera. The only feed nearby to where the camera needs to go is near to an outside light cable. ?
Thanks
Hi guys, newbie posting!
Does the following sound ok...
Existing circuit:
SOCKET on a ring -> spur to SWITCHED 3A FCU -> SWITCH -> hardwired FAN
Proposed:
A new UNSWITCHED 13A FCU will be inserted between the SOCKET on a ring and the SWITCHED 3A FCU (which protects the FAN to 3A). Then that...
Good evening. Currently sorting out my girlfriend’s flat for rent. I’ve found all sorts of bad electrical work.
Can anyone advise if this is an acceptable way of connecting 2 spurs to the ring main? It will all be connected in a double back box behind a blank plate on a wall using 32amp rated...
I’m trying to install my Ring doorbell (2nd gen) and I’ve discovered that the transformer feeding my Freidland isn’t producing any power. I suspect that I connected the jumper lead between the wrong wires (thanks to Ring’s really confusing instruction!) so I now need to replace it. I don’t want...
Hello all, I think I might have done gone and ducked things up.
We got a timer frame single story extension put on( 35sqm)
For the Lighting circuit i used 3183yag multi strand flexible 1.5mm 3 core cable. Should I have used single strand?
Hi all,
I'm planning to remove a stud wall seperating my dining room and kitchen.
On the dining room side of the stud wall, there is a double socket which I want to move about 2 feet approximately along, and onto the back wall. The wires will be coming down from the ceiling as they all do on...
Hello,
I bought a new build and noticed the upstairs MCB is controlling some sockets on the opposite floor, so if I flick the upstairs MCB it's also switching off a socket downstairs (I think it's a spur) in addition to all the ones upstairs
Is there anything within 7671 that states this is...
Hi,
I've got a customer who wants a 10.5 kW shower installed in his bathroom. As it happens he already has two unused 4mm T&E cables run from the CU cupboard to the loft. I know it's unconventional but is there any reason I can't use these cables to make a dedicated RFC for just the shower...
Hi,
So I ended up with a Ring video wired doorbell instead of a Byron video wired doorbell as B&Q were out of stock (had ordered online) and they gave the Ring one at no extra cost (nice of them). Not what I was after but will have to make and do.
I don't really want to fork out and buy the...
Hi,
I purchased a Time twin strand bell cable with a rating of 12-30V, 2A, low voltage, not for mains use.
I wish to use this for installing our new Ring wired doorbell. We don't have an existing doorbell wired setup so it would need to conform to a DIN rail transformer specification of 24Vdc...
Amateur with no experience here - bought a Ring doorbell in the sale assuming I would just switch it out for my doorbell by removing and reattaching - however concerned it may be a bit more too it#
Current button goes to a chime housing a transformer (DETA C3500 A/C 220-240 volts 50Hz)...
Hi,
I bought a Ring wired bell thinking, easy, just replace the current doorbell. Now I'm hunting down how to bypass the chime but am unsure of how given this underdome bell system? Please see photos, Friedland 743 transforma is separate with chime on wall, I can't see anything else and do not...
Evening all,
Been to a job on Fri where the customer had a condition report completed. Two of the remedial identified was that there were too many spurs off spurs on the upstairs and downstairs circuit. There’s are separate circuits both rings which test okay etc. I looked at upstairs one...
I’m rewiring a bungalow and the owner has asked for a radial for all sockets except the kitchen. But there will be a separate washer and dryer in the circuit. Will a 20A radial be enough?
