    Is there a way to test a SPD without spending thousands ?

    I know there are many MFT's out there which can test SPD's, but they all cost thousands of pounds, and I personally can't justify that cost which currently isn't mandated. However it would be nice to know that when I install a SPD that it will function. Is there a way of testing such a device...

    Flylead to SWA without a banjo.

    I've been working my way through some EICR remedials in a theatre and one of them is to sort out a slightly high Zs on a submain. Thankfully whoever installed it put the banjo on the gland and even put a bolt through it, they just didn't add a flylead, so its going to be relatively easy to fix...

    What is an adapter added to a Carlon box without threads, to give it threads, called?

    I bought 20 boxes for an outdoor project. I paint my parts before I install them so they look nicer than trying to paint them in place. That said, I now need to change the box from a smooth terminal hole to a threaded. I also need to have this part go from 3/4" to 1/2". I am not sure if there is...

    Smart switches without the cable

    In a nutshell, I'd like 2 way switching with smart switches, but rather than running a cable between them to link them I imagine it'd be a lot easier to link the 2 switches via events/triggers on the smart app. I have this already where I turn one light on I've configured it to turn another one...

    Dimming without flickering

    I am looking for a good way to dim incandescent lightbulbs. I do not want the normal Triac dimmers that you buy at the store that work by cutting the duty phase. These cause flickering, cause humming, reduce the lifespan of the bulb, and do not dim below a high threshold. I also do not want...
