They don't have to provide an earth. Therefore TT would be the best option in this case. GS

Cheers Steps! lol

Ok. Thanks The "control boxes" are certanly a DIY job, perhaps I should have mentioned that when I started the thread. I am very keen not to attach my name to it! Regards GS

Thanks for that Canoe, appreciated. Very tidy panel installation that. Looks good. Whoever installed the "spaghetti junction and wooden backplate" clearly where by far not panel builders. I can not help but feel that you believe I have had something to do with this installation? Its the first...

Thanks.

Doesn't matter which card you use. You can still "put it thru the business" Keep the receipt! GS

That plate is one of the 240V pumps. There are 2 110V pumps, the rest are 240V The components are not suitable for mounting on combustible material. To be honest its a right bodge (as you can see from the picture). I have raised this issue with the person ordering the work. Thanks for finding...

Ok. got some details from the pumps earlier. Most of them are 240V 0.8Kw submersible pumps. There does not appear to be any internal Thermal O/L protection. The control boxes also dont seem to have any Thermal O/L protection within them. There are 2 110v pumps Pump 1= 110V 0.58kW Pump 2=...

I'm on the job tomorrow. Shall look at each pump and let you know what I find. Cheers GS

Cheers lads. Id carry on using Hager if the price was right. A few have mentioned these. Prices? Agree what was said about Contactum, all good but as tight as a ducks ar5e when it comes to fitting RCBO's. Remember fitting a load of the Square D Quickline's a few years ago before the 17th...

Evening all. Just wondering what make CU people are using at the moment? Also, what price are you paying!? Last year I was using Square D and Hager. Stopped using Square D as I had a job fitting them on CU replacements due to their size. Hager seemed very good fair play but not the cheapest...

Cheers pal

Yep, def a made up box. Made up by the people who installed "the show" (all linked via data cables and controlled by a CPU) cheers GS

What are the options if there is no internal thermal overload protection and nothing incorporated within the control box? Sorry, not done many pumps. Cheers GS

They where from TLC (online) mate. Ill probably struggle to get them to accept them seen as the invoice is 6 weeks old. They came with their own lamps. I've tried replacing these, with no joy. Cheers. Right off to work! Hate working Sundays!

Yes mate they need a neutral. Which they had! Cheers. Gs

Very good point. There are a sh1t load of switch start fluros on these circuits. Right looks like I need some of these. Anybody recommend any? (28W 2D, Round, Opel, white) Cheers

Cheers Yer, measured voltage during normal use. 230v perm-N, 230v S/L-N. I dont think Id be able to send them back anyway. Ordered them ages ago, but fitted recently. Debating what make to replace them with. Need to be 28w 2D, opal, round, white fittings. GS

Afternoon all. I installed a few maintained emergency lighting bulkheads at a school I carry out maintenance at a few weeks ago. Originally they all worked fine. I returned yesterday to be told that a number of them had stopped working. Had a look, they seem to work fine when power is...

The transformers they have used are normal site transformers. I'll open one of the control boxes to get some pics. Cheers! GS
