Hi all
I am desperately trying to source several of these Legrand RCD twin socket outlets for office 3 compartment floorboxes but not having much luck. Could anyone very kindly point me in the right direction? :) Many thanks

Hey guys,
Apologies if this is in the wrong part of the forum, but I was after a bit of advice.
So I've nearly finished my level 3 in Electrical Installation C&G, been in the trade for about a year now, but I'm completely lost and unsure if it's for me.
I've had 2 different jobs in the trade...
Hiya everyone, Ok I'm not that old just a mere 55 years young. It's been a few years now since I left the game and I've been living in France for the past 11 years. Due to return to the UK I quite like the idea of getting back on the tools. Nothing too crazy like house bashing though! I served a...
I've a 54 year old house. It's a grandma unit with a few guests here and there.
Thermostat went out so I ordered another one.
Apparently this is a line voltage thermostat and the original has four terminals.
The 2 top screw terminals say "line", the two bottom screws say "load"
In the junction...
Hello,
I have an S14s light fitting in a large cupboard with a pull cord attached to the fitting. It wasn't working so I got a new bulb (Architectural LED Strip Light 6W Opal 500mm S14s Bell) , but it now looks like its the actual fitting that is defective as the new bulb works fine in the same...
Hello fellow sparks, I've received this letter last week. It is frustrating. Do I still need an CSCS card as I have an JIB gold card ? This seems to be them trying to keep their money cycle going.
Done a CU change today, brief testing before hand I knew there was a problem on one circuit, believed to be the element in the immersion tank so put the very low IR readings down to this.
Fitted new CU with plumber arranged to look at the immersion, changed it and thought that would be that...
Hi all, after working in a electrical wholesaler you may all know cef then moving to yesss electrical i found a good interest in electrical work! Luckily i found myself swapping to the other side of the counter, but for the past 3 years have been led along by companies promising to sort my...
hello all, hoping someone can give me some advice please. I’m trying to add another socket into the corner of my living room on an outside wall. The house was built in 2013 and the wall is dot and dabbed. There is a socket directly above in a bedroom that I thought I could take the fed from...
Dear Members
Trying to understand the circuit for this unit. I understand that circuit for S31 to S32 and S11 to S12 etc needs to be complete for relay terminal to energise.
My questions are: 1) What are the Y31 and Y32 and S21, S22,S33, and S34 used for at bottom of the unit?
2) What is B1...
I have been asked on many occasions to add lights and sockets to an existing installation. When I tell the customer that I must change the MCB to an RCBO and then carry out a minor cert which all adds to the cost of the job, I know that he has called someone else who will just extent cables...
I am trying to replace a switched light fitting that is in a cupboard with a new ceiling rose. When I took off the existing fitting, I can't work out which wires are which in the existing fitting and there are no markings on the existing fitting to help. It looks pretty old and the wiring on...

Hi all.
Would anyone be able to tell me where I would be able to locate one of these.
It is for a transformer and each mcb is for one double socket. As you can see the one on the left hand side is damaged.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
Total newbie here and as you can tell from my name..... I'm definitely not an electrician. I've done a bit of electrical hackery in the past, mostly in cars and a bit of soldering, but this all feels a bit beyond my ability and I'd rather not be electrocuted and die before my 30th...
How do you guys react when a customer tries to drive you down on price?
I am struggling at the moment to deal with that side of things because I take offence a little, when I know they have every reason to barter with me.
I just know I am very fair on pricing so maybe should stop being too...
