Trying to replace some existing Brick lights which have rusted and the bulbs have blown. Anyway, after finally managing to get the thing open, I looked at the wiring and first of all noticed the wires were brown, black and grey - there are 2 of each. Second of all it looks like the black wires...
In other words, can every fixture, switch, appliance, etc go directly to a manifold of sorts so you could program/reprogram the switch to turn on different things? Kind of like using a freshwater manifold system instead of a traditional branch system. I KNOW i'm ignorant and there must be good...
testing a property there, the sockets were wired in black rubber 2 core with bare stranded earth coming into the boxes. Done all the Ring tests and everything was fine, continuity between all conductors and R1+R2 fine also. Just wondering is it safe because you got the 2 core cable without a cpc...
Hi, can anybody walk me through on the CEC side on figuring out the breaker and wire size for a 240V, 15.7kW electric furnace. I am an electrician and have not worked on residential for a while.

Hi all,

As per title any ideas, car just cut out dead and will not start unless I pull the 2 wire plug off the high pressure pump solenoid. I also get no reading at all on the dianostic fuel pressure check. I have 72 psi when connecting my fuel pressure gauge to the line.
Outside light wired in 0.5mm flex but protected by a 3amp fuse. A 0.5mm flex max is 3A current carrying capacity, would you give that a code for an EICR? Cable size is small but it’s protected by the fuse, was thinking maybe a C3 due to it being a flex outside
Hi
Can you please give me some advice. I asked an electrician to fit a ring.com video doorbell 3 to a Byron 761 wiring and chime so the the ring doorbell wouldn't need to be manually changed. He had several goes, but couldn't get the ring.com bell to make the Byron chime ring. He ended up...

Because I have no wall outlet grounded anywhere in the house, I asked an electrician to help and the solution that didn't involved destroying the walls was to wire a power strip directly into the electrical panel (i got one right where the entrance is, I don't know the exact name but every...
Hi,
I'm thinking of replacing my 8 gang switches which are all 20Amp DP to newer MK ones. One of them is marked "Hob" but actually controls the oven. The switch on the other side of the kitchen near the Hob and cooker actually controls the Hob. I think this is a 45Amp style switch. This is how...
