    Oh what should I do

    I did try being a free hand before I got the apprenticeship, but found a fair bit of paranoia, as in "if I train you you'll set up in competition. " I did work for free for around 5 months, (with a really nice guy,the one who may be retiring in the near future.) it was very helpful. I did...

    fire alarm question

    Don't know if this helps but... When we put in fire alarms in schools, we add an interface to the fie alarm system near the (existing) door controls. The systems we are fitting have all devices on a loop detectors, call points, sounders and interfaces. We have an external company commission...

    Outbuilding Supply lookover

    I interpreted that the current system is not getting added to or being used more just re-supplied. So if it's running off a socket outlet at the minute with no sign of heat damage, not blowing fuses or breakers, but nuisance tripping the rcd assessing the load at over 50 Amps is probably worth...

    Outbuilding Supply lookover

    Sorry, had a long week, so may of miss read. But, if this is not over loading and popping a 13 amp plug top fuse, is a 63 amp supply needed? Taking out the rcd is fault not overloading, or am I missing something. I'm not saying 60m 2.5mm and the present setup is good, but from 13 amp to 63 amp...

    Suggestions for Hybrid electrical supplies

    Evening, Not sure where to put this post... I'd like a little help with an assignment for HNC... Eco nuts want to build a house in the country with NO mains services. Electrically, I'm thinking possible options of PV arrays, not so good after dark, Wind turbines, great after a curry, "fast...

    Asperation system for fire alarm install

    Update for anyone reading in the future... Eventually after many phone calls, hole size and fan speeds are determined by the designer of the system using various calculations. Turns out the problem we have is/was, the system was designed by one company and the parts bought from another. Both...

    Asperation system for fire alarm install

    Superb, I'd seen the maximum length somewhere with max 32 sample points. I had found the capillary tube you mention, but the one we're fitting is in a ware house, so straight off the tube. Is there a requirement for condensation traps/drain and sampling test points? Found a supplier who...

    PIR problem

    Power up on - oh what fun... Had a situation last year after rewiring one section of a school. Power cut in the area one night... when power came back on, an auto door cycled (we believe) activating the intruder alarm. Police attended and saw lights on. Three police vans and dog patrol...
