    Resistance loads

    I’m having a mind blank. If there is no load in a circuit e.g L-N was bridged at a light. Then there would be a high fault current. What if there is only one light or load on a circuit with a low resistance. Is there a minimum load resistance needed in a circuit?

    Halogen vs. LED loads

    Hi Forum ; Need some explanation. I have an old over-the-range extractor fan with two GU10 Halogen lights that I want to replace with two GU10 LEDs. Connecting the two LEDs work fine in the low and medium power settings but, on the high power setting, they both flicker and turn off. However--and...

    EV charger loads?

    I have a client who’d like a cable installed in anticipation of an EV charger at some point in the future. No idea what charger it’s likely to be. Thinking of basing cable calculations based on a load of around 7.5Kw. Thoughts?

    Switching high loads so as not to go over 80 amps.

    I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a product that can switch between 8kw loads? The customer I have (a Deli) wants to add a 8kw pizza oven but only has a single phase supply and is already at capacity at 80 amps. He has a industrial size oven and chicken rotisserie which totals around 8kw...

    Periodic testing with the power on and all loads connected

    I recently watched a tester and his mate do a periodic inspection and testing on a social housing dwelling without turning off the power or disconnecting any loads. The Ze was measured without disconnecting the main earth conductor and Zs taken with the loads connected. They subtracted the...

    Interaction between loads - power quality and noise.

    Hello, Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this. Didn't look to be far off... So I'm looking for some advice please with regards to interaction between loads sharing a circuit. I understand (or think I do!) a lot of the composite concepts and I think I have an idea of what my answer might...

    Forum loading problem

    @Dan Have you done something to the forum recently? In the last day or so, loading any page has started taking ages, giving Waterfox Not responding and sometimes Unresponsive script warning. It appears to be related to the blue 'Electricians Talk/Jobs' box. It's fine once that box loads up.

    4mm 32a Radial In Trunking

    Changed a CU today and noticed the kitchen sockets were wired in 4mm t&e surface mounted in trunking and on a 32A breaker. Now, the CCC for this is strictly only 30A (ref.method B). Would anyone be overly bothered about this? Common sense tells me that it is unlikely this cable will be asked to...
