    Single phase to 3 phase question

    Hi guys I am an approved electrician but never come across this before. A customer wants to upgrade his single phase to 3 phase 100 amp supply. The single phase supply that is there supplies his shop and upstairs flat that is privately owned. New supply will feed a tp&n board as well as...

    Am i being ripped off?

    I would look around for someone to do the Cat 6 stuff. We all hate to see any trades devalued, BUT all you are asking with the Cat 6 is it is run in from each room to under the stairs or whatever. No need to ask for them to even be terminated into faceplates or anything....just marked up as to...

    Wiring Diagram Barn / Workshop

    Would it be chauvinistic to imply that OP should just make the hot drinks while an experienced fully qualified electrician does the job from design right through to testing ? Bloody women's lib have a lot to answer for... :facepalm:

    Starting out!

    3-5 year plan. Stay with current firm until you get to approved. Next ask to go for technicians course whatever it is these days...firm pays all good. Next get every certificate going that's relevant to your field, IPAF PASMA any relevant health and safety courses, See if company will put in for...

    A waste of time and annoyed!

    Plenty companies employ subbies on top of a small core workforce. It has been that way for many years. Personally I would have thought if you get a chance to work cards in with a JIB member firm who pay all rates and benefits then you would gain much more being on the cards - it used to be that...

    Save British Steel petition

    It has been 6 years since labour had anything to do with anything. It is 8 years since the Worldwide recession that labour apparently caused.....interestingly the conservatives at the time said they would match labour spending £ for £. Osbourne has missed every target he has ever set. The...

    Save British Steel petition

    Done, Sadly this is not going to make a difference. The decision has already been made. Cameron has already stated that nationalising it is not in his plans. Everyone told the government of the time that paying benefits long term and the associated social impact would cost much more than keeping...

    Eu Vote

    I totally agree, both pure socialism and pure capitalism both have very serious flaws....Mainly that all our resources are finite so both models fall down....a whole other subject, One that I have tried to read up on but the depth of the subject is immense and very heavy. The model WE follow...

    Eu Vote

    Basically this !! The idea is to drag these small countries up to become westernised consumers who are able to generate their own wealth after years of funding and nurturing from nanny EU. House prices in almost all the poorer EU memebers have risen at the fastest rate in the world.....That to...

    Eu Vote

    We are in a much better shape financially now than we were when we voted "In" in the 70's. Some say that is because of the EU some say that is despite being in the EU, The truth will be that it is probably a bit of both. It needs reform, I think the bigger countries are waking up to this and...

    Eu Vote

    Being saying exactly that since before the referendum was even agreed. That was why I was quite happy with Labour's previous position, unfortunately taking the we know best stance probably cost them a lot of seats in the last election, The media have been hyping this up for years. The Mail must...

    Eu Vote

    Question if you were an ordinary Iraqi citizen going to work each day paying his tax and not breaking ANY of that countries law would you have been better off before we invaded and removed Saddam or would you be better off now with foreign bombs STILL dropping on your population to this day...

    Eu Vote

    Cameron has actually laughed at this idea...yesterday in the commons during his attack on boris. He said that in the even of an out vote he would "immediately" invoke Article 50 of the EU membership treaty, His reasons being that it would be unfair on the out voters if he did not do so right...
