Admission time.....although I work in London I'm actually Scottish, so that might apply to me too!!!

Come on in!

I did one recently for a country house. Three lights, one on each side of a converted barn, three gang MK grid switch to control each light separately. LED floodlights, each with built-in PIR, dusk/dawn sensor and adjustable on/off time. Three core hi-tuf (NYY-J) cable feeding each unit. Any...

Sorry, I sent the wrong link. Apologies. J

This might help a little..... http://www.sse.sk/portal/page/portal/stranka_SSE/domacnosti/slovnik

This new colour scheme nearly earned me a slap from my wife!!! "What site is THAT you are looking at???"

Just like I've never swapped out three new PSU's on a 48 volt DC system before realising there was a second power switch hidden at the back............

Memory fuzzy......does that rig use CAN bus connection?

Hi, Did you disconnect the feed to the PSU before moving the handset?

There is a Mennekes one on eBay mate, seller claims surplus stock http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MENNEKES-491-276-SWITCHED-SOCKET-WITH-RCD-RED-32A-415V-3P-E-/281583472499?pt=UK_BOI_Industrial_Automation_Control_ET&hash=item418faecf73

Have you ever used anything from Mennekes? Their kit is pretty good........but not cheap! They do a suitable one.....

Seen similar units to this used in theatres and by touring sound/light companies to supply stage power. They tend to be in shatterproof rubberised enclosures though, and use RCBO's. Looking at the picture this one appears a bit flimsy. Would over current protection be at the dist. board?

Hiya. Did you mean to post a picture? J

Also, is anything else connected to your Apple devices when you try charging them at home?

If you still have a problem, check what supply voltage you have (live-neutral) Also do a voltage check between earth and neutral and earth-live. Post the results here? J

Hi there, I've moved from industry to domestic recently, so can give you an update on my experience pre and post self employed if that might help... 1) I've not had an average day so far. You may well start off with what seems a simple test/fault finder and end up chasing a wall to put it...

Hiya. Glad to hear there is some young blood interested in our trade! I would echo what the other guys said, and advise your son to contact local electricians and basically "state his case." Young cousin of mine found his electricians apprenticeship by doing just that. If he is polite and...

Hiya, Reg 431.1.1 (page 79 in your green book) might help in any FM discussions as this specifically mentions the case of three phase motor protection. It's not an absolute, but gives more strength to your argument.

Thanks Binky. Nearly caught out with an old Sprinter that's going cheap. Good enough van, until I remembered I will be working within the London Low Emission Zone. 1998 Sprinter not compliant, and it costs £100 per day if I did use it!

Hi guys. Wonder if I could throw out a general question? What's your experience re the most reliable van? Been trawling the used van sites and dealers, but opinions vary wildly. Used Trafic/Vivaro are pretty cheap, but some reviews describe them as piles of you-know-what!
