    3 way switch with black and white wires connected

    I have a fair amount of basic electrical experience but have never dealt with 3 way switches. I am upgrading the 1970's wiring in my attic and came across a light fixture controlled by a 3 way switch. If the 3 way switch is in the off position, the switch on the other end does not function. The...

    Line Junction Boxes (aka Black Eggs, Hand Grenades)

    Did anyone ever find out what happened with the Line Junction Boxes? Was back at a job today where I did some work for the customer 2-3 years ago and spotted one of them. Great little product, loved them.

    Emergency lighting black and white wires

    Hello, I feel a bit stupid asking this on site now as the spark looking after me has already mentioned it, but why would an emmergency lighting system have a separate 2-core fire performance cable (black and white cores) pulled in with the FP200? I’m sure it’s called a ‘bell’ or ‘belling’ cable...

    Can I join the black wires? Need to improve some hacked French wiring to restore timer control

    So, I'm checking why the heating won't work in a little apartment in France. There are 4 wall-mounted electric heaters and there is a timer on the wall which should be controlling them all via a pilot wire. There is a note on the timer in badly scrawled French about the new heater meaning the...

    Why bother getting a gold card when they're giving away black ones.

    I think I've given up on our industry now. More dumbing down from the JIB.

    Black PVC/conduit back boxes. - Source?

    I need black surface back boxes. PVC or ABS conduit boxes would be fine, as would metalclad, but not the crunchy ones. - There will be some conduits involved. I can find only Wickes (who sell a single outlet black box only, no doubles), same at CPC. Occasional Ebay sellers do have some with...

    Black box in old consumer unit - electrician stumped.

    Can any of you old pros out there help identify the middle black box made by Engel and Gibbs ltd. It buzzes sporadically, even when the main supply to the flat is off. My electrician has never seen it before and can't figure out. Thanks, Alex

    Black / red cable connector

    Hi. I have a black and red cable ( it’s actually for parking sensors in the car). The cables have been accidentally cut. As they are very short, attaching them back together using masking tape has not proved efficient. I need to buy a connector / terminal block of some type which has the ‘metal’...
