Hi my sparky has gone AWOL with just this to finish. The two black plugs are two rows of garden lights that are already installed. I would presume the top hole is for a switch to turn on and off and the bottom a fused spur maybe to get power but how does it all wire up. Because the job is small...

Hi!!
I'm trying to complete a one line diagram to appease my electric company (AEP Texas). AEP is telling me:
"
1) Please note that the AC Disconnect cannot be connected directly to the meter; it must go thru the service panel. One Line will need to be revised.
2) NOTE: If a side line tap is...
Hi I’m just in the process of my L3 and have come around to doing the C&G Unit 104 Design Project. Does anybody have any recommendations of design software I can use on the PC to complete the drawings electronically? Many thanks

Hi all, just a quick question for when designing a lighting circuit. I cant remember if you have to add up of all the wattages of the lights in the circuit or its just the same wattage from one light for the whole circuit?
Hi all, I am doing the 104 design project and I'm a bit stuck on the best way to wire the lights in the pool area as the walls and floor are concrete. Any advice would be much appreciated.
A few days ago I purchased a solar panel to start a PV inverter project. Additional devices used are TFT LCD, rechargeable lithium batteries and microcontrollers.

It's a combo solar/generator/battery/grid mobile power...
Hi guys
I'm a bit frazzled by the wording on the main project.
So, we are told to keep the max circuit length down to 30m, tutors said that isnt physically possible so just try to keep it under 40m and they noted that the socket circuit was a bit of a mental one and that the 30m guidance set...
Hi everyone
So I'm just starting my 2365 design project relating to a hotel extension and pool/cafe area, has anyone recently completed this assignment? Any advice would be great!
A little protip for my fellow students/trainees; When you get your design project and the absolutely gorgeous (no really) A3 drawings for the project(s) - DO NOT DRAW ON THE A3 ORIGINAL.
Think about it, you have anywhere from 5-10+ circuits to draw in, each with its own path, possibly sharing...
