    2 Gang Light Switch For 2 Separate Lights

    Hi all, Hoping for some advice on whether what I'm looking for can be done - and if so how. At present we have a 2 gang switch (it is a 2 way) with each gang controlling a single light fitting each. The Live and Neutral are within the switch not the fitting. I want to add another light...

    Some MFTs have PSC/PFC test combined, I wonder why others have it as a separate test

    For example kt63 calculates pfc/psc with Zs but it has no option to go for an L-N test. The calculation is also the same V/Zs or V/Ze. The kt63 plus on the other hand has this option.

    SWA and separate conductor as CPC

    Evening all, Having a debate with a colleague about using the SWA armouring and a separate conductor both as CPC's for a circuit. So in theory bringing down the Zs of a circuit due to using both as CPC's. I'm swaying to thinking this is wrong however, I'm struggling to find any regs to express...

    Hi all, quick question - I have to replace a lateral supply cable where the existing one runs through the ceiling of the basement flat and up through the floor into a communal hallway to an old Ryefield, feeding 5 properties. The issue is that the building is listed and I'm being told that...

    Flickering lights on separate circuits

    Evening All, Strange one so after a bit of advice. Got called to a customer this evening who had their boiler repaired after the circuit board got fried supposedly after a power cut when the supply was restored. They were told they needed a switch fused spur fitted as there was no way of...

    Hi guys. I'm a Trainee Maintenance Electrician so please excuse my ignorance on bathroom wiring etc. After reading this forum and watching youtube (Artisan, Bundy, CRJ Electrical) I've learnt that my bathroom should be RCD protected but the problem I have is that none of my lights in my house...

    Can I supply 2 separate radials from 1 Fused Spur?

    Hello all. I have just bought my first house but it needs a bit of work. I am re-wiring it and I've found the conservatory ring has been spurred off a socket in the house. I am also getting really low insulation resistance readings between L & CPC on the conservatory ring. I've located the...

    Is a separate CPC required ?

    Hi Guys, I've just been looking at a job that has been installed by another company. One thing I've noticed are the feeds to 2 BMS / Plant panels. They have run in 2 x 150mm 4C and doubled up on the main switch in both panels. No separate CPC has been installed and the banjos aren't earthed...

    Why a separate earth for caravans

    I am an apprentice and was just wondering the reason why you have to put a separate earth into a caravan? My friend has asked me to do a hobble and bring a supply to his caravan from his board. I do need to earth the caravan separately right?

    Separate meter install for EV charger?

    I am looking to install an EV home charger for one vehicle, but possibly two in the future. I have a second unused (but still active) mains supply cable from a time when we had electric heaters. Unfortunately the separate meter on this supply was removed a few years back. It would seem to be...

    Is it safe to wire separate plugs to two devices previously wired to the same plug?

    I have an old hifi system that has a record player stacked on top of an amplifier. Weirdly, both are wired to the same plug. I don't know whether they came like this or whether somebody did it post purchase for some reason (I inherited it from my grandma). I want to pass the record player on so...

What I would like to do is put all 3 bulb holders onto one stand and wire them together so that they are controlled by the one power switch. But I have very little electrical knowledge so have two...

    Separate AVI?

    Ello people This is probably a daft question and sorry if it's already been asked. The only time I ever have used a meter is to bell out... However, can a FLUKE T110 be used as a voltage indicator as well? If so I'll get one if not I'll buy a simpler meter for belling out and a Separately AVI...
