    Convert 3 phase into 3 single phases

    I would get the DNO to put the 3 phase supply a lot nearer to the load.

    Multiple BT points...help..

    You or the client should tell BT where to put the flaming Master Socket. The standard price for a new BT line does not vary with the length of cable run

    Multiple BT points...help..

    You should wire 2 3 and 5 if you want the bells to ring. It is good practice to wire all six if using 3 pair cable to CW 1308. There is no limit to the number of sockets you can wire in but the old rule was that the maximum REN of the phones plugged in should not exceed 4. REN is ringer...

    What can I do with a HNC Electrical Engineering

    I think that the OP may have put the cart before the horse here. It is a bit like all the snowflakes who go to UNI paying large tuition fees and end up with a large student load and a job filling shel in Tesco’s. You may find a DNO who will take you in as a trainee engineer and after you have...

    Advice needed for best course of action

    Blow mates rates! There is no such thing as mates afterwards. Over fifty years ago I did a complete re-wire of a three bed semi that a mate had purchases in Sutton outer London. This included the garage. Three months after I had finished he rang me up one Sunday morning and complained that I...

    PAT test on data centre telecoms equipment

    Do not know anything about Germany but did lots of telephone installations etc. How much of the equipment is PORTABLE. Because the P in PAT is for Portable how much of your equipment is actually portable. Most of the stiff I worked on was far from portable unless you include equipment that...

    UK British Telecom Ring Back Code

    Does anyone know what the British Telecom Ring Back Code is NOW. It used to be 17070 but that no longer works. You dial the ring back code and then hang up and the exchange rings you back. It used to also tell you what the number of the line is. I am doing a job at a relative’s house in...

    Workshop Q light gauge 220v can a 3 phase 415v connection be made up?

    What you need to do is get the DNO to put in a proper three phase supply and necessary meter. One of the first things you need to tell them is the electrical load that you wish to use. It is going to be expensive. If you are in a really rural area could even need an extension to the high...

    Advice after drilling through electrical cable above plug socket

    You may well take the Micky about using ferrets but many years ago when the CEGB [ the forefather of National Grid ] were laying very high voltage cables under the Seven Estuary they had to install a draw wire into the steel pipes under the bed of the estuary and they got the initial light...

    SWA in drain permissable?

    As a member of a local Bowls club for thirty years I can tell you that they are as tight as a duck’s rear end and we all know that this is water tight otherwise the poor old duck would sink. They only like spending money at the bar and then always complain at the prices which are normally half...

    SWA in drain permissable?

    You need a proper duct a minimum of 450mm below surface with warning tape above it. Then run SWA through this duct. If budgets would not stand two poles and a catenary then I can not see that budget will stand a proper duct. Tell customer price for doing a proper job with a duct line...

    Extension lead (camping site)

    We always used wood fires for cooking and warmth and used to rub two bit scouts together to get the fire lit.
