Quick question for the average Australian Electrician (Not large company).
For normal consumer/single home dwelling:
Is the AS/NZS 3000:2018 with the latest amendments good enough
or
Did you also have to purchase AS/NZS 3008 etc ?
I used to have access to all of them via our company but now...
Just like the title really.
I like the thought of getting all the guidance notes but is it worth it or would a copy of the aforementioned books suffice?

Hi I am changing a wall light and after removing the wall has crumbled away and the cable is too short to connect to the new light fitting. Please could you advise if connecting the new fitting with a choc block will be safe. Any help appreciated.

I installed a new GFI outlet in our bathroom for our new electric toilet. To do this I cut wires to the exhaust fan and added new wires to the new outlet. The three wires, from the breaker, to the exhaust fan, to the new outlet, were joined together with wire nuts. #12 gage wire. When all...
Hello, everyone!
I'm brand new to this forum. I have a question regarding my laptop. Its input power is 240W @ 19.5 V, and about 12.3 A. Its power supply naturally outputs this amount (nominally), and draws from the socket 100-240V @ 3.5 A (50 - 60 Hz).
When I was working back in Italy (220...

Hi,
Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong forum. I tried to post to 'Electrical Advice' as a DIYer but had issues.
I'm laying SWA (about 40m of 10mm2 as advised by a pro) to a new workshop building that will have its own CU, circuit and ground spike. I want to do the donkey work and lay...
I've bought a new (to me) car and the location of the cigarette lighter socket means it's better for my old dash cam to be hard wired.
Handily there was a Youtube video of my exact model of car and on the face of it it's a very simple install - £10 kit from Amazon, remove an accessory switched...

Hello,
I’m buying a house that was built in 1940, but was recently renovated. I got an inspection done. The first floor outlets are grounded, but the 2nd floor and attic bedroom outlets all show open ground. The sellers put in GFCI outlets in the bedrooms upstairs. I’m wondering if this is safe...
Hi All, I am not a sparky at present, I work in engineering, but I am considering a change.
Last time there was a global financial crisis (2008-ish) I decided that I'd had enough of the uncertainty of working in someone else's engineering business and did my C&G 2330 L2 & L3 over a couple of...
We did inspection and testing in college, and i'm wondering if I would need the 2391 course as well to certificate, or is this just to improve your ability to inspect and test? I remember filling out some sort of certificate on the exam. I have a fluke multifunction tester and it doesn't seem to...
