Hello, new here!
Would greatly appreciate some input. I'll first say I intend to get an Indesit technician to take a proper look tomorrow, but I'm curious.
A couple of hours ago I tried to switch the main oven on as usual - the oven is only 2-3 yrs old - and a spark came from behind the...
My grandparents are having problems after the installation of a smart meter (against my advice) and now the circuit breaker trips intermittently during the Day part of Economy 7 with no other discernable pattern.
Sometimes it will switch off after being toggled on again before a few minutes...
Two electricians looked at the breaker box in an older mobile home in the US. They said things are fine and the electric company just wants money. The electric company says in order for them to turn on power for the mobile, the breaker box has to be moved. They cut the lines at the top of the...
Just installed a “used” Gfci circuit breaker on my panel. New CB’s not made for this older panel. Without a load wire even attached, CB will not hold and instantly trips when power is applied. Pig tail neutral attached to neutral bar. When I disconnect pigtail from neutral bus, CB will hold when...

Hello,
My sub panel is 100 amp (from a main of 200 amp) and it currently has a 20 amp 240 v breaker for A/C and then only lights and outlets. This is not a house, just a remote building with toilets, shower and outside kitchen.
I want to add an instant on tankless water heater that requires a...
I have a customer who want's me to fit a 3Kw Patio heaterto a garage. - I believe this requires a Type C breaker. There is limited space in the board, so wanted to get peoples views on whether it's OK to swap an existing B type (used for sockets) for the C type, or whether the C type load needs...

Can someone please check if I connect the machines as in my...
Long story short: I had a electrical problem on a circuit that powers our backyard lights and outlets a few months ago that fried the circuit breaker too. Electrical problem was fixed and I had an electrician swap out the breaker for a new one. At the time, he offered to replace it with an...
Hi all
I have a bench saw which is tripping a 100amp breaker on a workshop spread.
The question i have is how does a D curve breaker work? I know it has a longer trip time to deal with the start up of a motor. On this occasion a single phase saw with 14amp running load. Does the breaker stop...
I have a question on wiring to make sure I am doing it correctly. I plan on adding a new GFCI/AFCI 20 amp circuit breaker to my box and run the wires to the first 2 outlets in a 2 gang box I am installing. I am also installing 2 other 2 outlet boxes. This is in a finished garage. I know how...
Hi all, I really hope this is the correct place in the forum.
tldr; Oven and boiler take turns to trip the breaker, but I don't think it's either of them so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically the main breaker keeps tripping in the house I'm renting. We've been living here for...
I'm setting up a pv system with a Trace Xantrex SW5548 inverter power wall. I'm going over the peripheral units (DC disconnect, AC disconnect and bypass switches and a T240 step up transformer for 220v usage. I bought a pre-owned system 10 years ago that I've had in storage and also found (2)...

Hello electricians. I am not an electrician and am a beginner with limited electrical (I've only been shocked a few times.) experience/ knowledge. I know it may be best to pay for a licensed electrician, but I'm not ready/able to do that yet.
The deal is: I have an old "Walker-Turner" bandsaw...
