Hello.
There is a persistent short circuit on a circuit (a fuse switch).
All plugs have been unplugged.
All sockets are free.
I have continuous beeping continuity and “30 Ohm” resistance on several sockets.
I also have 30 ohms on one outlet, but a stuttering beep.
Can I narrow it down by...
Customer has a single phase 7.5kW motor running a blower for a grain lift and the 50 years old soft start is no more. Can someone recommend a replacement?
Hi
I popped round to quote for ‘ finishing ‘ a solar install started by a company rhyming with Bird of Polar . The house has a three phase supply, but it looks like someone has taken the three live tails into board not designed for three phase (albeit with a three pole switch).
They’ve only...
Morning all,
Little advice regarding whether spuring from a Three phase isolator to a single phase FCU is allowed?
I need to wire a Single phase FCU which is located right next to a 16A TP isolator to a high speed door. Obviously, It would be a lot less pain to wire straight from the TP...
I want to wiring in some new lights in an old shed I have. There’s an existing light switch for the toilet that powers a light, a fan and fan isolator, and it works fine. The shed can be dark in winter and I want to put a couple of lights in it with a switched light for the outside, and a light...
I am searching for an RV 30/20 amp 2 pole breaker.
(Cutler-Hammer BD3020 A3020 Types BRD, & A 120/240V Cu/Ai HACR Type 2 pole unit J-969
E7819 - T LR43556 Disj)
I see quite a few breakers with these specs.....except they are 1 pole.
I have seen breakers that are twin single pole breakers and...
Does such a thing exist but with one single rocker controlling the switch? i.e. exactly like a normal 2 gang 2 way switch except it is only possible to have both switches in the down position or both in the up. For low current 240V circuit like lighting.
Hi
I have inherited a compressor with a single phase motor but its been stripped and I need to fathom out what's what.. I don't know if it even works as why did they take it apart and if its broken what's wrong!
I have a start and a running capacitor
A reset switch
Simple push button
Two...
Hi
I've inherited a very tight space, a KMF switch and some split-con for a sub-main to try and tidy up. It's a joyous non-restrained single insulated mess at the moment. The right solution is a different bigger switched fuse, but there isn't room.
I don't think the standard KMF shroud could...
DIY'er question:
I have a singe switched fused spur above my kitchen counter, providing power to an undercounter fridge socket beneath it. The boss lady wants a socket installed there to move the toaster away from where it currently sits, because 'lady reasons'..
Is there any way I can swap...

I want to add a second switch like this
Does this look ok?
Thanks,

Hi, I am looking for a connection diagram or sugestions for a 2.2Kw single phase motor to drive a compressor. The spec plate shows that it can be run at 220-240 v / 460-480v 50Hz. (unusual for 50Hz) At 220-240 volts FLc is 16A plus startup inrush. so I should like to run it at the higher voltage...
Looking to use this brooks Compton motor as a replacement in an electric cement mixer. can anyone tell me if it is designed to operate off a domestic single phase 240v supply? It looks to me as though it could run off either a single or threes phase supply but I’d be grateful to hear from...
Hello Everyone --
So, I am looking to buy a used 5HP 3PH 208 V 10 inch Table saw --- (Motor Plate Data in Image) I am a DIY'er and in this case I would not attempt to do a 3PH to Single Phase conversion myself -- (I have looked at many videos and read several articles about how to do...
Hi all,
I'm about to replace our kitchen and one of the upgrades is to install two full size ovens to replace the original twin over under counter unit.
The existing 45a cooker switch is in the right place but no convenient space for a second... Is there a reason I can't or should not connect...
Hi everyone. The title should sound crazy enough, but it's what happening in my 72-years old home we've purchased 2 years ago.
I found the crazy wiring when I was just troubleshooting on a lighting which has been flickering, and finally completely failed recently. I recognized the lighting is...
Hi, I want to put downlights in my fire surround - possibly 3 but more likely going to be 2. They are 0.4w LED lights. I have a 12v 8w LED driver with a 6 way TOP connector on the end. I want to add an on/off rocker switch but I'm confused as to whether I need an SPST or an SPDT switch for this...
Absolutely losing my brain here guys
What I would like to be able to do is power our 3 phase motor on a single phase supply.
Thought I had it all figured out, motor is dual voltage, on 230v its pulls 30amps 8.6kW rating. Nice cheap option was a dps (compared to getting 3 phase installed or a...
Hello all,
I signed up here for a little help. I bought a 3 phase bandsaw and went down the rabbit hole of VFD’s etc.
‘The motor is 3 phase 400v and I have 1 phase 240v (Australia) .
So I bought a VFD that has an input of 240v single and an output 400v three. It’s currently in the post.
I...
