This is my first post. I’d really appreciate any advice.
I have a detached workshop that in 1999 had power supplied to it via a 32 A SWA cable. Dedicated 32 A circuit via RCB from house CU to workshop, SWA terminated correctly, etc. All done by electrical contractors as part of a house and...
The site has 12 * 50W LED floodlights and they are controlled by 2-3 switches (changeover/intermediate) that operate a relay for the actual lights to keep volt drop down. As it has CCTV it would be handy to be able to operate the lights remotely as well. Had it been planned that way in any...
I have 2 consumer units, one normal and one for t control, I no longer have storage heaters so want to get the meter removed, can I then use the consumer unit to supply the sockets that were originaly used for storage heating, my immersion heater is also connected to this consumer unit so that...
Hi Guys
Just after some advice if possible. I have wired an extension and the plumber has fitted a manifold for the new UFH which he has asked me to sort out. There's one motorized valve so i have wired it as shown in the picture:
The customer has now asked if I can fit a Hive stat to the...
hello there,
i have Jensen 24a wood furnace and it needs a new switch. the manual calls it the "rheostat", but it's like any other variable speed controller with two wires. I bought two inexpensive ones off ebay only to find they are labeled as dimmer switches though they were advertised for...
Cord snapped inside, replaced with a Wickes 45A Pull Cord Shower Control.
Guy who fitted was experienced electric DIY're and shower worked OK, unfortunately the 'red' on light was staying on and not going out.
He advised try swapping over wires. Did this, wiring correct as diagram, now have a...
Can anyone please tell me how to wire 3 8Pin relays together? Those 3 relays are for access control controlling the doors, so when the fire alarm triggered will disenergized those 3 relays and unlock the doors. Thanks
Hi,
Quick question and hopefully not too silly. In the wiring for a heating system, is the convention to use Brown sleeve at on all cables that are either Live or Switched Live, where the insulation itself is not brown? Or only those where the existing colour might be misleading, like a Blue...
Hi all
I'll freely admit, I'm out of my depth here.
I've been asked to sort some lighting in a bathroom do do the following:
Main lights and some accent lights from one switch.
Mirror lights and the same set of accent lights from another.
I guess it can be done using 230v relays, but haven't a...
Here is the circuit parameters I am trying to build, I just can't seem to figure it out.
When the start button is pressed, motor 1 turns on
Motor 2 will start 5 seconds after M1 has started.
Motor 3 will start 6 seconds after M2 has started.
When the stop button is pressed, M3 stops...
I'm repurposing an agricultural building as a research workshop, where sometimes reasonably accurate air temperature control will be needed.

Hi,
I'm needing to run a raspberry pi computer board near my boiler. The Pi requires 5v at 2.5A.
My heating system is from NIBE and the control panel a SMO 20.
It does have a USB port on the front for software updates but this doesn't appear to have enough current to power the Pi properly. Sad...

Please can you give me some advice on my property (sorry for the long post and typo’s!), I had a large extension built this meant I had a new additional consumer box, new wiring, plugs, sockets etc. The builder did all the electrics himself, he was not qualified, he got a registered NAPTI...
I was carrying out an EICR today. The consumer unit was a Control gear direct board. It had one chint MCB in it which had been put in recently. It looked absolutely identical to all the cgd MCB's.
Is Chint in any way affiliated with CGD/Lewden or is this just a coincidence?
Hello fellow electricians,
I am currently in the midst of wiring 3 lighting fixture at my friends garage. I'm just wondering if there's an easier way to do it or if the way I'm going to do it is going to break the sensor switch.
So the situation is this: I'm going to name the lighting fixtures...
