Thanks for the comments. As the tank has heated up the trips have stopped - it started tripping after a bath on friday night, when the tank was cold. Unless there is a fault on the immersion controller, only one element should run at a time - which will keep the load at 3kW. Checking my...

Need some guidance on trouble shooting a new issue that has arrisen with my imersion tank. I have a vented Heatrae Megalife cylinder with twin immersions. Both immersions are hooked up to a Horstman Electronic 7 timeclock, The lower immersion is on the timed output and the upper immersion is...

Its a nice to have but not a key requirement. if i replace all my switches with quinetic dimmers i might then try to integrate them into openhome ata later date.

I was going to coil it round the inside edge of the back box. I think my concern is similar to yours in that will it receive sufficient signal to work. I'll wait to see if anyone else comments, but i may just have to buy a couple and give it a go. There's always that online flea market if...

Not currently, but its all in conduit so i can pull new cable through if need be

In re-instating a partition wall the previous owners took out, I'm wanting to see if i can re-hang the door to open against the adjacent wall, rather than into the room. However, the existing twin dimmer light switch is on the wall against which the door would open. So, I would either need...

Thanks for the comments. I've lodged objections based on the above and we'll see what happens As a block, we have all started to talk and are planning to file for right to manage, and if the figures work out we'll file for the freehold enfranchisement too. A potential management company we...

Using Prior approval under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A the landlord of the block in which my flat resides has again (3rd time round) submitted plans to put 2 floors ontop of the existing 3 and build some 8 (4 x 2 bed & 4x 1 bed) flats in total - something none of the residents either in the...

Like your thinking, but not in this case. No shower pump, and the towel rail is spurred off the ring

Thats my current thinking - just need to get the damned halogen lights out to check. I honestly don't know how they were fitted - the size of the cutout is smaller that the size of the lights at the edge of the springs, and there are no grooves in the plasterboard to indicate where they were...

Having read the IET post and the spec sheet, the quoted losses of 1.5W to 2.5W maximum are for full load - so at 32A for a 32A RCBO, which would equate to about 0.013%. Someone in the discussion posits the losses being I2R losses, which would mean at low loads they would become negligeable -...

I hope not - the only place for it be hidden would be above the lowered ceiling, and so inaccessible.

Completely forgot about tieing L-N together to do the IR test - got so focussed on trying to work out what the cause of the reading was it slipped my mind. I'll give that a go when i next power down

There used to be one that was removed (I hope) when the bathroom was done & the walls tiled. I always assumed that was on the Final Ring Main anyway. Did make me think about the wall cabinet above the sink though - wonder if that's got an isolation transformer in it & if its wired into the...
