I knew about eddy currents when studying 14th ed IEE regs ,doing C&G 235c (technicians) course back in the day so no excuses !!

The Owner said it trips randomly but started over the weekend when it was raining rather heavily. Would look at any outside Light fittings etc, as clue due to heavy rain 🤔

Hi ,i know this may not have any bearing on the above ,but we fitted loads inverters forAHU fan motors, pumps etc .Replacing star/delta starters . Mostly in hospitals ,so didn't want spurious RF in a hospital environment. Where possible we kept the inverter as close to the motors as possible, as...

Hi I seen this about a year a go ,and flagged it up to Efixx to see if they would do a video on it ,but they said had'nt heard of it and will look into it ,but when i contacted Efixx on follow up email, no response. Think they look for payment for making videos ,which can compromise there...

Groucho Marx once said ,TV improves his intelligence! Every time someone switches on the TV ,he picks up a good book and goes into a different room .🤣🤣

No i don't think it was volt drop ,but a quick rule of thumb of 18amps /2.5 mm T&E in the day , but thanks for the refresher 👍

I knew i had got 18amp from somewhere in the recesses of my brain LOL .I would have probably erred on the lower side also .

Cheers for that ,as they say every days a school day . It would have been 15th edition yellow book i think , but thanks for enlightening me . The Cables i would probably have fitted ,had been bunched together, and covered in glass wool etc. Why would Mort2376 fit 20amp Mcb, if cable the is...

Hi Mort2376 I'm now retired, but we were alway's taught that the MCB is to protect the cable, from drawing over current ,and cause a risk of fire . 2.5mm current rating was 18amp max in my day , so why would i use a 25amp MCB ? Has the IEE reg's changed .Can you give me the new regulation that...

Hi After reading all the posts ,i cant help thinking the builder or Andrew is trying to do the install themselves . For two so called electricians not being able to figure the wiring Johnb2713 has drawn is worrying ,also not being able to fathom it out . Andrew is wanting to dot the i's and...

Totally agree with you ,feel its just a money making monopoly .H&S assessment on my card meant absolutely Jack Sh#t when going to a new site ,as they made you go thr"o a 1+hr induction test ,on H&S . Like you, my SJIB card ran out in FEB was put thro to select and was told I req to resit my C&G...

Yes i agree with you, its all about making money now. The SJIB and select is all about making money ,to pay for nice offices at the walled garden in midlothian .They are lumping more courses on ,under the premise for a better industry !!! Have you seen some of the new qualified apprentices, they...

I've had electrical manager with not a electrical qualification to his name, telling me thats safe to switch ON !!🤔 Now retired ,i knew it was time to go when i asked a mature student ,qualified "Electrician " how many amps in a kilowatt, he replied he would have to google it .It was Time to GO...
