Ha that's probably true! double on the bodge!!

Yeah your prob right Evans Electric....just need someone to say what  I was thinking about- the more damage they do....the more work I get! thanks

So got a job to supply a shed from another shed on a farm.  The old overhead supply was pulled down by a tractor driving under it.  The farmer has told me he would raise the catenary higher (supposedly to 6m).  Still will try to persuade him to go underground as its about 20m between sheds. So...

thanks tony

I guess basic principles to start with, but wouldnt need to go too deep into the theory.  Ideally a book that was written by an electrician would be helpful.  I don't work with motors at all so anything I did learn in the past is long gone now!

if he wants to write the book and send me a draft??.... could maybe stretch to a coffee (real obviously) and maybe a cake....

ouch ha!  Have you used it at all Tony??

Hi all, Looking to broaden my horizons and interested in learning some more about generators broadly.  Anyone any suggestions of good books they've read or websites that give info on generators? I know i can find loads on google but just in case there were any suggestions! thanks

nah not doing installs but just noticed it when was at a job where there were  tradesmen there too but forgot to ask at the time.

thanks for replies guys!  Bit scary that thought it did have over current protection, but more scary that unless wasn't paying attention at the time, was at a job where there were a few socket circuits on RCCB's (hence with no over current protection then!)

So please clarify this as was reading something on RCCB's that confused me! As I understand, an RCCB (im thinking of a 32Amp Hager here) is basically the same as an RCBO? i.e. combined RCD and MCB , with the older style hager being a two module one? Also for this type,(excuse my laziness to...

guys, thanks for all advice on the 2391, got results through that passed!

hey guys, yeah thought compared to some of past papers that last nights exam was not too bad-only couple of questions didnt have clue about. think thing with this exam is that just knowing the answer isn't enough- its HOW you write it down and if you don't use the exact language and terms then...

Hey guys, Been working as a sparks mate for couple years now trying to get an apprenticeship. Company took me on last year but then went bust soon after! I trained as electrical engineer but not suited to sitting in an office! I got 17th edition and doing my 2391 just now (passed the...

ok thanks spin

thanks spin, i knew i was doing it wrong- the resistance per metre 12.10 mὨ/m is for 20

hey guys, if anyone really bored.... maybe they can try this and avoid any more confusion for me! thanks, A seven year old 400/230 V three-phase electrical installation within a small commercial unit forms part of a TN-S system with a measured value of external earth loop impedance (Ze) Of...

hi all, Sitting my 2391 in Feb, wondering if anyone had any recent papers that they'd like to pass on?? thanks, shane.

for anyones interest, after few weeks, the UFH would go for 5 mins without tripping, from before when was only 20 secs, so kept it on for 5 mins then off for a min-did this for an hour or so and its done the trick! must have def been moisture causing fault. Glad tried this before had been...
