Hello I'm a novice home owner. I have a porch with a currently unused 110 wire in a junction box in the roof of the porch. I would like to wire up a wall light switch and put up 2,3 or maybe 4 flood lights on the posts of the porch.
How do I do this? Put up metal conduit lines from the 110 line...
Good afternoon,
So earlier this year I passed my Level 2 Electrical Installation course and I'm due to start my Level 3 next month. However, my Level 2 course was provided by City & Guilds whilst the Level 3 I'll be doing next month will be provided by EAL. Would this be a problem for when I...
Replacing my hob and found this. Hob (6.4kW) installed on a dedicated 32A circuit, wired with 6mm TE. Five terminals on the hob, two lives and two neutrals have each been bridged with 1.5mm wire. TE cable is wired to one of the lives and one of the neutrals. Is this correct? Thank you
These are installed in firetrucks.
They are Iota DLS-45 battery charger/ conditioners.

Hi all,
I'm new here and looking for a bit of advice. I have a bathroom extractor fan with it's own independent pull-cord switch (see pic). There is also an isolator switch outside the bathroom. I'm doing some renovation and wondering if the isolator is actually necessary if the fan itself has...
Hi, I purchased a new hot tub (still hasn't arrived) and am probably doing the wiring myself. My "qualifications" are - my father was a lifelong electrician before passing away a couple of years ago. I spent many summers (and a few years) working with him and helped wire several hot tubs. The...

Did and EICR this afternoon, multi story apartment block DB's in flats are effectively submains from switch room in basement,
Fed with 3 core SWA, 2 cores supply peak side and the 3rd core supplies off peak side.

Yesterday's EICR. The cut out and meter are in a damp cellar, and are fixed to a chipboard board on the wall. The chipboard has slowly rotted over the years, you now can push a pencil through it in places. The rather rusty fixings have pulled through it, so the board and everything fixed to...
Hi,
I am a DIY person (ie. not a qualified electrician) so I am sure this is a basic question but please bear with me.
I am looking to add a socket to the garage. I was looking at various online resources on how to wire this up and came across many videos and articles that said that if you...
Regarding 3 phase IR tests for initial verification, I'm wondering how people actually do it efficiently.
GN3 says to IR test between all phase permutations, then:
L1+L2+L3 connected together to N
L1+L2+L3 connected together to E
N to E
The OSG further comments that if the group test to earth...
Just wanted to say hi before I post my question. I don't give too much information about myself online, but I will say I am a retired US Navy submarine electrician. There are some differences between shipboard motors, generators, switch boards, motor controllers, pumps, valve position...
