    Some MFTs have PSC/PFC test combined, I wonder why others have it as a separate test

    For example kt63 calculates pfc/psc with Zs but it has no option to go for an L-N test. The calculation is also the same V/Zs or V/Ze. The kt63 plus on the other hand has this option.

    Can I supply 2 separate radials from 1 Fused Spur?

    Hello all. I have just bought my first house but it needs a bit of work. I am re-wiring it and I've found the conservatory ring has been spurred off a socket in the house. I am also getting really low insulation resistance readings between L & CPC on the conservatory ring. I've located the...

    Is a separate CPC required ?

    Hi Guys, I've just been looking at a job that has been installed by another company. One thing I've noticed are the feeds to 2 BMS / Plant panels. They have run in 2 x 150mm 4C and doubled up on the main switch in both panels. No separate CPC has been installed and the banjos aren't earthed...

    Why a separate earth for caravans

    I am an apprentice and was just wondering the reason why you have to put a separate earth into a caravan? My friend has asked me to do a hobble and bring a supply to his caravan from his board. I do need to earth the caravan separately right?

    I am looking to install an EV home charger for one vehicle, but possibly two in the future. I have a second unused (but still active) mains supply cable from a time when we had electric heaters. Unfortunately the separate meter on this supply was removed a few years back. It would seem to be...

    Is it safe to wire separate plugs to two devices previously wired to the same plug?

    I have an old hifi system that has a record player stacked on top of an amplifier. Weirdly, both are wired to the same plug. I don't know whether they came like this or whether somebody did it post purchase for some reason (I inherited it from my grandma). I want to pass the record player on so...

    I have an envirovent fan that I'm replacing that is connected to its own switch (ie not the light) . The current wiring has a live and neutral.

    Hello, I have ended up with 3 identical lamp stands (long story), each with one E27 bulb holder. What I would like to do is put all 3 bulb holders onto one stand and wire them together so that they are controlled by the one power switch. But I have very little electrical knowledge so have two...

    Separate AVI?

    Ello people This is probably a daft question and sorry if it's already been asked. The only time I ever have used a meter is to bell out... However, can a FLUKE T110 be used as a voltage indicator as well? If so I'll get one if not I'll buy a simpler meter for belling out and a Separately AVI...

    Separate Arc fault protection devices not needed with RCD's?

    I'm looking at replacing my old switchboard with a new RCD/AFCI one. I asked the electrician who was quoting the job about Arc fault interrupters. I previously understood these were a different device from RCD's-RCD is to prevent shocks, AFI to prevent fires. I also understood there were devices...

    I have come across a double socket where the earth terminations aren't linked together - Is this illegal (and what regulation do i look at?) or is it allowed, and I just put the loop-earth in one termination and join the unearthed socket with a length of Earth conductor?
