Hi
I need to recreate something like this (which was very nicely done)
I just have photo so far, not been there.
What are the grey covers called? I'm struggling to find a source of them.
I though it was all separate components - DIN terminal blocks, interconnecting link bar, and a cover.
Or...
Hi everyone! I am thinking of replacing the old switches in my flat with some new ones. I unscrewed a double switch yesterday from the wall and then I also unscrewed the face of the switch. This is when 2 small metals parts fell and I have no idea how to put them back; first of all I don't know...
The Apartment has been rewired and each one will connect to its own radial . Want something 'smart" with timers etc . never really looked into the market .Any brands that stick out as been reliable ?
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.
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...
Hi,
I was hoping someone with a little more insight might be able to shed some light on a potential issue I have, as I can't seem to find another example online where this specific question that has been answered.
What you can see in the attached photograph is meter tails (single insulated +...
Recently visited a new build to do a very minor job and spotted a few dodgy looking items so Client asked me to do an EICR.
Following items I found were;
Upstairs and downstairs smoke detectors mains fed but not interlinked, on separate circuits.
downlights open backed and clearly not fire...
As per title. Does anyone know what this symbol means? It’s on a IP rated outdoor light and there’s nothing in the instructions to say what it means.
Customer asked to me to take a look at a light she intends to by 10 of for her garden. This symbol was on it and I’ve never seen it before.
Hi. I've had an electrician come in to set up sockets and lights in my loft conversion.
2 switches for the main light (one at the bottom of the stairs and one at the top) 2 bed lights with their own built in switches and some plug sockets.
The plug sockets are finished and working fine.
I'm...
Please help me how to wire this, it’d be awesome if someone draws a simple diagram like the pic I posted but for my parts, I saw a diy video on YouTube for this mini subwoofer but it’s not clear where all the wires go. It’s only clear for the one speaker set up here in the diagram pic but...
Hi there, I'm looking to smarten up my outside floodlights to react on camera detection so I think I need to purchase a 2-gang, 2-way smart switche(s) that work with Alexa for instance.
At the moment, We have a front floodlight and back floodlight, which are both controlled from 2 points (a...
Hi, I have a new light for the bathroom after the other stopped working but these are the wires I'm confronted with. I have tried to wire with the black as live no joy and then the brown as live no joy I'm so confused. when wired up the light fixing is showing live on the tester yet no light...
Over the holiday period my partner returned home to her apartment with no power. None of the internal breakers in the consumer unit had tripped and so she was unsure what to do. She called an electrician who took the cover off the consumer unit and then showed her these singed breakers across...
Hi.
I have seen these transformer like things on the higher voltage powerlines when I go to regional areas in NSW and I was wondering what they are? I can't remember seeing them where I come from (Central Coast NSW)
They couldn't be transformers because they are not connected to any other...
We bought a house and this conduit is outside my back door of my garage. It has 3 6g wires that have been cut and left in the conduit going into the ground. Any idea where the wires originate and go?
