You have to love campsite electrics...

Stumbled across this today, it's a little disappointing in that they at no time put shade across, say, the bottom half the panel. But it's a cracking idea as this will certainly mitigate leaves and bird poo on your panels. It's also interesting as it clearly demonstrates shading on panel...

stumbled across these today, thought some of you might enjoy explanations from real climate scientists.

May your year be healthy, happy and fun. I was going to say wise, but there's less fun in that...😃

I bought my Megger 1502/2 when I first retrained as an electrician, roughly 16 years ago. It's finally died, not completely but in a non fixable way, and is it's the continuity test function that has failed, it's not a lot of use anymore :(. So what the longest anyone's MFT or individual test...

New to the market, this beast may interest some on here. I've not seen anything single phase over 8 kw before. I've also posted the nuetral earth link box document for UPS funtion.

Spotted this the other day. Seems the local pidgeons like this array 😃

Following on from a previous thread, today I returned to a job to find one rather short leg, now dabbed in position, and one cable lying on the floor.... Fortunately I was ahead of the plasterer

I've been asked to fit a light in the cooker hood of a commercial kitchen. There's already a light fitted, plastic IP rated batten, with cable in conduit of some sort, run in the lower lip of the hood, but, they want a light in a higher position where the cabling will be more exposed to heat...

I've got a few lights to replace in a commercial kitchen. Now, I know these have to be vapour proof, but I am concerned standard LED battens will get wiped out by the heat at ceiling level, so does anyone know of a batten suitable for such a location?

so todays solar repair job. Can't think why insulation was low with all those lovely brambles sticking into the backs of the panels, complete with bird nest, and saplings growing under and through the arrays. Grass is good for outputs as well! At least the fault was easy to find.

stumbled across this article, it's an interesting read. https://www.science.org/content/article/ammonia-renewable-fuel-made-sun-air-and-water-could-power-globe-without-carbon

Started a full rewire today, the lighting was still using the board below, complete with fuses in the neautral. Even worse, someone has rewired it at some point 🤣

anyone still think the planet isn't getting hotter?

So this looks to be a 47 Ohm resistor, but am I righ in thinking this is 1 watt?
