    Can a 3 phase motor that is running on single phase have 2 directions?

    I am needing to know if this wiring diagram is showing a few things: 1: Does this show a 3 phase to single phase conversion? 2: Does this show that the motor can turn in 2 directions with the same internal wiring if you toggle the SPDT switch?

    UK Running power to garden room

Can power be taken from a normal plug socket somewhere at the rear of the house, or does it need its own circuit from the main consumer unit? If it needs it's own circuit it's a non starter project as I don;t want...

    Running LV and ELV cables together through joists?

    I have quite a bit a cat5e to run through joists under floorboards for ethernet points around the house. Can this run in the same joists as the LV cables or do you make separate holes in the joists for the ELV cables? Cheers guys.

    Running cat5e and coax in same chase?

    Morning.. I'm having an ethernet point next to a tv aerial socket. Is it ok to run the cat5e and coax in the same chase. As I understand it I just have to keep LV 50mm away from ELV, so as these are both ELV its ok? Cheers all.

    I know - needs some explaining: I am improving my old house's garage wiring and need to run on the aluminum ceiling. The ceiling is aluminum as the garage is actually a covered-in carport.

    Running Network cable next to power cable?

    So the electrician made a hole in the outside wall to run the cable for the floodlights and in the same hole he threaded through the CAT 6 cable (shielded outdoor cable) for the POE camera. Is this safe as I always thought you do not run network cable in the same conduit as electrical cables?
