    Are these 'alternative to apprenticeship' courses any good?

    Hi all - I keep seeing various adverts to "train to be an electrician" in 4 days, 8 days, 12 days etc. Are any of them worthwhile? (If allowed, please share any unbiased opinions of specific courses) OR Is the only real way to become an electrician by doing an apprenticeship? In a...

    Has anyone used these cylindrical pendants before?

    A client asked me to fit them today, I can't see how you could do so safely. The base plate is very small and only one cable could go through the hole. There is only a couple of mill of thread at most to screw the cover onto and as you are screwing you would be twisting the cables inside the...

    Help identifying these diodes

    Hello everyone! Im trying to fix a device and upon looking into the diodes, I noticed something odd. Even though they are all marked the same, the flower like symbol and "MG", the values on the multimeter vary quite a bit between the diodes. Also, even if the symbol and MG are oriented the same...

    What do these ratings mean

    Hi, I was looking at my dishwasher and it has this metal plate with these markings. I am confused about the meaning of "10/16A" - does that mean it uses a 10A fuse or a 16A fuse? Also, I am guessing that there are two sets of values (230V - 2,3kW - 10/16A vs 240V - 2,5kW - 13A). I wonder...

    How do I remove the conduits

    I have a switch box, I believed is from the 63 installed, that I want to remove but couldn’t because the conduit connection to the box looks like it’s press in. There is no nut. How would I go about removing it.

    Can someone explain how these storage heaters were wired via the contactor?

    Been round to a house to quote to replace some storage heaters for new panel heaters and came across a strange (to me at least) way of wiring the old storage heaters via a contactor in the board, as usually I see their own off peak consumer unit which powers up at night via economy 7. From the...
