    How to make sense of this?

    Hello, I am trying to replace some lights in my walk in closet, I began with light 2 and before realizing how confusing this could get, I forgot to take a photo or label the 4 black wires. All other wiring is just as the electrician did it. My question is, how do I figure out how to wire my...

    Tips on Energy Monitoring System

    I have a home that has a 600W panel and three 200W subpanels SquareD QO (quick grip) panels. I’m looking for an energy monitoring solution (other than the electric company). I know that SquareD has Wiser solution for the 200W panels (same as the Sense monitoring..I think), but it looks like the...

    Outdoor 230 EV charger with 115 V outlet: supply through conduit . Does this plan make sense?

    Hi! I’d like to install a pedestal-mounted (230 V, 30 A max - programmable) EV charger close to my driveway, which ends about 12 feet away from the house, on the other side of a landscaped rock wall of sorts. While I am at it, I would like to oversize the circuit to allow a second EV charger to...

    Fault current, and earth electrode resistance: Numbers not making sense

    In "Advanced Electrical Installation Work" by Trevor Linsley, he says that an earth electrode rod that is 1m deep will typically have a resistance of between 10 and 200 ohms. Given that fault currents can supposedly, momentarily, be in the order of 1000's of amps, this makes me scratch my head...

    Intelligence V's common sense!

    I have just finished a handover at work and the doctor came up to me to have a chat about his electrics! He is a good doctor and very intelligent. During the weekend, just before a party he was throwing, the 'sockets' MCB trips. He starts panicking as all his guests will be turning up. He...

    Building Energy Performance change?

    I have heard or read this and cannot find where. I have seen or heard it proposed that PV and FIT qualification will be aligned with the RHI, This would mean a property meeting Green Deal Ticks rather than an EPC of D. It would make sense in terms of consistency but would probably only apply to...
