Hi,
I would like some advice. I had a full rewire done 3 weeks ago and I am still chasing the electrician to issue the EIC. The electrician is registered with Napit and he is also on the Competent Person register. I have emailed + called him up multiple times, but he keeps making excuses. What...
Hello,
I've recently had an EICR done on my residential let. The property is a 1-bed flat in London on the 8th floor, about 10 to 15 years old.
The EICR has not been issued but the electrcian has said as things stand, it is unsatisfactory with a C2 rating. This is due to the the fuse boxes did...

To the qualified electricians on the forum:
The default response to DIY enquiries on how to do stuff seems to be "Get an qualified electrician in, it's too difficult for a DIY'er to do". Given the skills shortage within the industry, is this a reasonable response? Is there another way?
Hi Guys, Just for clarification as I've been told so many different things, what qualifications do I need to become a fully qualified electrician?
I currently have my city and guilds level 2 qualification and I have 17th edition which I will be updating to the 18th I am also doing my level 3 at...

If you have a portable generator and you plug for instance a fridge or any appliance directly into it, how is the neutral/earthing provided??
I know already that normally you can connect the neutral and earth from an existing...

Having a wind turbine that I am testing at the moment, I first placed a big generator (PMG 500kW 690V @ 300RPM - 18000Nm) behind it and it could...
Dead honest true.
Couple of years ago I asked two unrelated friends what was the key to their successful, 6 figure salary, careers in highly competitive fields. Answers (verbatim) were,
"Know which arse to pucker (kiss) up to?" And the other was
"Know where the blame is going for any project...
Hired and trained a relatively new electrician. Getting along ok as far as competency goes so far. However, a few issues with him that I wanted to get your guys feedback/opinion on.
1. Doesn't like to go to any domestic site solo even for the simplest jobs. Has demanded he always has someone...
I came across this earlier this week doing an EICR and would value your opinions on this matter.
I have occasionally been given a CU to install only to arrive and find the switch is on the wrong side of the CU and it will not fit in the current configuration. I was taught to move the switch and...
Im wondering if any body has used a kneeling board in attics. The kit I'm looking for was A kind of folding contraption like a mug holder for the wall. You could turn it into a kneeling board or push it narrow and it would become a walkway. First seen them maybe 8 years ago. Googles failed me...
Evening all..
I am wading through my tax return for the first time ever (had an accountant last year but decided to save the £300!).
It's all a bit complicated with all the legal sounding jargon, but I have pretty much completed it. I just wanted to find out if I can make a claim against money...
Installing heaters in a milking parlour and he wants them to operate on a time clock? 5 heaters at 2000 watts each. Approx 15m run. Current running through will be around 25 amps. What cable will I use and breaker? Only a single phase board. I was thinking 4mm or 6mm radial on a 32amp mcb. Or...

Hi all,
I'm in the process of changing the sockets in my house (just the face plates) and I'm having serious trouble fitting the ones with three wires where there's a spur.
Can I just crimp the three wires together and then one wire out the other end to connect? If not any advice please to try...
Cant quite get my head around how you use this reg?
Lets say S =16
I = 657
k = 115
You have to work out t first of all so
t = K2S2/I2
so t = 7.843409 (to 6dp)
therfore K2S2 = 3385600
The reg says that we need to make sure that K2S2 is greater than the value of the let through energy...
