Evening everyone..
I have just been experimenting with a cat5 wall plate on one end of the cat5 cable and an RJ45 on the other end.

Hi,
I recently noticed that when I turn on the Aurora dimmable LED strip the area underneath the dimmer that controls it becomes warm to touch. It becomes warm after about 15mins and gradually gets warmer over time but not hot. I feel concerned so I don’t have the LED strip light on for over an...
This is maybe not strictly a PAT testing question but you PAT testers might be able to help. I am renovating a set of electric cookers and start by testing them disconnected from the supply using PAT testing principles. So I test for earth continuity and insulation resistance. If OK then I...
Got a couple of fittings to put up for a customer soon. Wiring 3x 1mm T+E - 3 plated at ceiling light. No access to floor above. Customer is adamant they want these light fittings put up (or very similar).

Went to fit one today and noticed that there were no middle screw holes to secure the middle yoke (normally use MK where there are 3 rows of screw holes)? Spoke to other guys who said that they either pack the middle row out with washers, or drill a middle set of screw holes. Spoke to Crabtree...

Had a look at a job where the cooker, protected by 100mA rcd, trips intermittently. Sometimes it can go for weeks without any problem.
The cooker is only 2 years old. I have carried out an insulation resistance test on all the cables which was >999 and also a ramp test of the rcd which trips at...
A distant customer that wants his accessories renewed has sent an image of the style of switch plate he wants to match.
I cannot see a similar model on-line, without travelling many miles just to have a look, I wondered if anyone here may be able to identify the make?
The switch keys appear...

Hi everyone,
As you know each surface mount box for a lighting switch has two threaded metal tabs for the screws to attach the front switch plate. On one of our boxes the threads have been wrung off and as a result the screws no longer tighten.
Is there a solution to this problem, without...

Hi can someone confirm what code you would give metal light and sockets with no flying earth to the back box. Lights are on a non RCD side of the board so was unsure if it's a C3

I was just wondering if you could help me interpret this motor plate? I'm just learning at the moment and as I'm coming across more and more of these I'd like to make sure I'm reading them correctly. Please correct me if I'm wrong - I probably am..

Please could someone explain to me about this motor plate for a pump and why the numbers don't seem to add up, such as why the amps don't correlate with the watts when connected to the nominal voltage. Also what kind and type of protection is needed for the pump. Many thanks.
Hi, I was hoping someone might be able to help me identify this wall socket in my house. Its been bugging me for years and searching online doesn't bring anything up.
Thanks.
