I've just fitted a small garage unit in a house to allow me to power 3 double sockets in the...
Hello,
I am getting a bit bogged down with detail as I always try my best to meet every best practice but I am very out of practice as I have been working outside the industry for 15yrs. All help appreciated.
I am refurbishing my small 2 bed bungalow and have some questions for all the experts...
Hello everyone I am doing my level 3 electrical system design project 615 and I need some help with design current etc. at the moment all the colleges are closed so i am unable to find any help from teachers. i would really appreciate if someone show me the right path how to calculate it.
When calculating voltage drop and using the formula
mV/A/m x Design Current x length / 1000 = v
Do I use the design current value after rating factors have been applied?
Thanks again for any help.
Hi guys hope you are all doing well & keeping safe.
So I've recently started my design project assignment on the hotel extension. My question is how would be the correct way of handing in the project?
Is anyone using a software programme to draw it? If so could could i get some advice on this...
Hi all
Question regarding shower circuit designs. How so many times I see 6mm t&e cables supplying shower circuits on a 40amp MCB ? So for example if you were carrying out a EICR and you noticed a 6mm t&e cable on a 40amp MCB, 8.5kw/9kw shower would you put this down as a C3 or would you not...
Hi, i'm currently doing my Level 3 design project and it's going to be tricky with the coronavirus and lack of contact with Tutor and other students.
Its the Hotel Swimming pool one
and I have to select luminaries for the cafe pool.
I haven't chosen my luminaries but I'm thinking to do it all...
Is there such an app or software that is reasonably priced where I can let's say take a photo of the front of a customer house and then super impose lights on it to show them how it could look?
Hi,Im just a fresher as design engineer. While browsing, I read that 330ohms resistor has to be placed parallel across an LED light, can someone tell me if it is necessary and why?
Hello there,
I would like to go on and gain the Design and Verification qualification. I live in East Sussex (South East of England) and I'm not sure which training company to use. I've had bad experiences in the past with some places that made me feel like cattle and the person at the front...
Is electrical design and testing mandatory?
Let me qualify this with "I know it is" The problem is I have a client who refuses to accept that any and all electrical systems need to be designed properly, installed, tested and commissioned according to the EAWR and BS 7671 and temporary...
Evening folks. Does anyone know how many Mark's you require to pass the written exam. Or if anyone would like to share their experiences on the course and the exam itself.
Hi, I'm after a single book that has all of the relevant information in to design circuits, I currently use a selection but it would be very handy if I just had 1 that I could work from... does 1 exist
Many thanks
Hi folks,
I'm installing a 3-ph 32A 60309 socket and just wanted to double check my design calcs are right...
The circuit will be part of a 3-ph sub-board (200A main switch) supplied by our main 3-ph distribution board. The final circuit length is approx 30m. The sub board comprises just...
Just put this light up.
35mm gap between the shade and ceiling - you can get your hand in and touch the chock blocks.
Not right is it.
Not sure I can work around so I guess it’s got to come down.
Not good.
Afternoon Gents, just a query regarding volt drop and extending the equipotential zone on a PME in the level 3 design project.
In my design I used a 16mm armoured and the associated volt drop was 5v, this left 1.9 volts for the lighting ring in the summer house. Tutor said not to worry about...
Designers these days , want a look .
It seems to take priority over functional use.
I have a nice pile of "Slime" green bowls ,that stack like a clown act if left on their
own together.
Above a certain height they roll ,
in the direction most likely to cause damage / injury !
Anyone else...
Anyone fancy designing me a website?
I would like something a bit more complex than a simple advert of services offered,
maybe a contact us type form
maybe a review section
open to ideas.
p.s. not looking for a freebee but don't want to spend a fortune either!
Hello:
I am developing an app for design and installation of photovoltaic systems.
I request advice to know what would be the most necessary functions in this app.
Thanks
