Hi all I've recently moved house and the extractor fan was not working, I've replaced the fan with a 240v extractor fan and wired up to my spotlights that are also 240v but for some reason the fan doesn't work. I've ran a new cable, tried 2 different extractor fans and definitely have 240v on...
Ok o noticed a question on here before I'm looking at replacing my porch and in doorway switch with a smart switch so it can be turned on by app when we are away from house and coming home...very dark doorway.. the light switch is wired over the live feeds .. And the switch I have purchased...
Only the one ring circuit in whole house. Small 2 bed terraced house.
Doing an EICR, and the socket ring circuit is working perfectly fine with all neutrals at CU disonnected (led up to all neutrals being disconnected). Getting 242v at socket outlets without neutral .
In case one of the...
I purchased a smart light switch an when i went to install it i noticed i didn't have a neutral at the switch so i couldn't use it.
We have some smart light bulbs but the family keep using the switches and get annoyed at the whole setup hence why i purchased a smart light switch.
Is there a...
Hello all,
New to this site but have been doing DIY electrics for about a year now.
I'm looking to upgrade the lighting in my living room to incorporate a smart, 2-gang dimmer switch, which requires Neutral. I know this is a problem that many people have posted and discussed online before and...
I have an installation that I maintain and the DNO have recently changed their pole transformer. Since this change I have been unable to do earth loop tests. The supply comes from a HV to LV transformer and there is a HV earth rod right next to the neutral/earth rod for the HV to LV transformer...
has anyone any experience of this. The boiler is 14 years old and has only just gone wrong. when the boiler engineer looked at it he found there was 240v between the neutral and earth inside the boiler unit.
I'm currently in the process of running neutral wires around my house to all the light switches so that i can install some of these new wifi smart switches to control all of my lighting.
One of my light switches has a black and a blue wire connected together separately from the switch shown in...
New to this so be kind.
Run a new circuit in today gone to do R1+R2 on the circuit me at the end of line and the other spark putting the link in at DB. Tester starts bleeping voltage so at first I thought he’d turned the circuit on but he hadn’t. On further investigation I’ve found that from the...
hi guys I’m thinking of future prodding my lighting circuit if I ever want to go for smart switches. I understand I’ll need a 35mm back box and I believe a neutral is required at the switch. I’m and running a new circuit in my house for it and would prefer to run the feeds in and out at the...
hi everybody.
My boiler in the caravan keeps coming up with low voltage warning which states that potentially the supply is faulty. I got a plumber out to check boiler and he did a test on the earth to live and got 240v he then tested earth to neutral and got 240v. He said i need to get an...
Hi all.
I'm having an Issue with a family members board.
They have had either the breaker for a ring or the RCD trip on numerous occasions, and I have already replaced a socket where the neutrals connections were burned out on said ring.
So I went to run a few tests to see if I could find the...
