As (I believe) PAT testing includes fixed equipment connected to the electrical installation by an FCU (eg hand driers, built in ovens etc.) I have been trying to figure out if a Fire Alarm control Panel should be PAT tested and if so by who. Has this subject been addressed before? Does anyone...
Hi guys I have just done an Eicr and 1of my findings was that the fire alarm panel was fed by SWA and I am wondering if that needs replaced with fp200 or similar?
Thanks in advance

Hello, everyone. First post here. And that's not a typo in the subject line. I am finishing part of my basement to put in a new master bedroom, bathroom, and closet. I was planning on putting the panel in the walk-in closet but enclosing it in a full enclosure of the appropriate size (floor to...
I recently had someone install a 50 A inlet connected to a 50 A circuit breaker on my electrical panel.
I had some issues with the job he did.
At first, he installed an outlet, and I had to make him come back to install the inlet. Then I realized that he didn’t install an interlock kit, which...
I am looking to install an A/C unit. (3.5 ton York)
I believe I need a 30 amp breaker.
My panel is full but I have two beaker spots I will not use that are next to each other. My plan would be to pull those and replace them with the new 30 amp.
Do I need to pull a permit?

I’m replacing surface mounted fluorescent fittings for 1200 x 600 tamlite led panels, normally used as drop in’s for grid type suspended ceilings but for this application slide into tamlite surface mounted boxes. From a klick system a 3-core flex enters the newly created tamlite fitting and...
I'm moving all the loads from my main panel to a sub panel, in order install an Enphase Enpower Smart Switch in between. The main panel is a 125A cutler-hammer combination meter/panel (MBE1224B125BTS), with a 2-pole100A breaker as the main service disconnect.
What's the best way to connect the...
Hello experts!
I ran some 6AWG wiring from my electrical service panel for a 240V outlet in my garage. The builder had provided an empty junction box with a conduit to the panel. So, all I did was fish the 4 wires and added a 50A breaker for the NEMA 14-50 outlet. See the attached picture.
My...
Hello All,
Let be begin by making it clear that I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN! I will be hiring one (I have one scheduled to come out to take a look, but it won't be until 10 days from now). I am making this post to get input from professional electricians as to whether this idea I have...
Hi wonder if anyone can help
Can I avoid using very expensive fire rated access panel (and just use non fire rated access panel) if the electrical connections behind the wall access panel are in a fireproof connector (metal box) with fireproof gaskets?
I have charged ahead with a small subpanel installation in a detached garage I am converting to a light-duty shop. The setup is simple, but I have been stymied by a final step. Hoping someone can help.
Old setup was a buried 12-2 wire from a 20a breaker in the house panel (100A) connecting to...
Evening all,
Can anyone tell me if this panel has connections for a cable to signal an automatic sliding door to automatically open when the system has alarmed?
Cant see to see any mention of it in the document below...
Just wondering if anyone has come across a Honeywell "Electric Comfort Control" panel, per the attached photo, and knows anything more about it. More for curiosity than anything else. This was in a house I did an EICR for earlier this week.
There are two heating 30A ring final circuits...
Hi. My mother bought a miguard g5 system a few years ago. It looks like the control panel has given up on her!
She has all the sensors around her home already but the control panel appears to be obsolete now. Am I correct in thinking that any 433mhz control panel will work with the sensors she...
We have a Electrical PLC Control Panel that has to supply 45 Fused Spur units, do I need to protect these with an RCD, we have a 10A Type D MCB at the moment.
Each Fused spur controls an electronic Volume/Pressure controller which is rated at 130mA.
Hi, I am replacing 2 fluorescent light fixtures that were wired wrong with 2 LED panel lights with 2 3-way switches attached, where one has a 0-10v dimmer.
Both 3-way switches (with 3 wire romex) go to a ceiling box where there is also a feed which I will use for theses lights.
Can anyone send...
I have a 20w 110v LED.
when i connect leads to the L and N posts the light works!
when I turn it off, there is still a very faint energizing of the LED.
the power plug has only two prongs and no ground.
Does the FAT prong correspond to the L or the N?
I have an older house that was built in stages back around 1960 as far as I can surmise. Highly suspect that the entire house was a DIY job.
I've been unraveling the wonky wiring since day one. The original part of the house was wired with a fuse panel and 12 gauge wiring without grounds. I'm a...
