Hi all, I thought this would be a more appropriate place to post than the Electrical Forum. I am currently renovating my bedroom and required to replace the mounting box for the switch in the room to a deeper one, however, the filler used to 'make good' has not set on the left-hand side: I...

When I was installing an aerial, I purchased near enough all of my components from Aerialsandtv.com. This website contains a lot of useful information, and has a section dedicated to Boat/Caravan aerial installs. The website is: https://www.aerialsandtv.com/touringaerials.html

Hi Markzz, I would seek the advice of a professional electrician BEFORE commencing with any electrical work of this scale, as there are a number of factors to consider when designing an electrical installation of this scale, such as: How the cables will be installed? Where cabling can be run...

Happy New Year! :)

What I do when that happens to me when I have too much talc on a cable is to wipe it off with a dry rag, like an old pair of underwear to an old sock! Simples! :sleep::sneaky::giggle: (P.S I love emojis!)

Thanks for the tip Rocky! Didn't realise you can do that, it goes to show that I don't post on here regularly! Definitely will use this symbol for future posts! (y):) LOL! Kind Regards, Andrew! :)

I was using some 3183Y 0.75mm2 Flex today round my grandmothers and when they manufactured the cable, they must of had a party with the talc at the factory as when I stripped it, there was certainly enough talc for another cable, let alone one, but as they say "It's better to have too much than...

This is reminiscent of something that I watched on Fake Britain (on BBC1) with Matt Allwright the other day, and it had an item of counterfeit fuses being sold in a well-known discount store (Poundworld). It was very interesting indeed, and I could reveal all that was featured on the programme...

If I were his neighbours and I noticed any undervoltage, I would not be best pleased! All that the OP has to do is go to their DNO and get permission to use these devices, it is that simple! If you want to end up with NO Electricity supplying your property, by using these undeclared...

Where's the paddle? :giggle:

Please learn to spell and use grammar properly, it does help! :confused:o_O:rolleyes:

Perhaps the YouTube numpty has got his electrical advice from: :LOL::giggle:

Perhaps he will know..... :LOL:

Hi HawkEye, I agree with the general consensus of previous posts, to fit Metal fittings, as opposed to Plastic; but in my view of flex colours, either 'Gold' or 'Black' sheath, to keep in fitting with the luminaire! Here is a good site for an idea on what to get, in terms of...

To further of what has already been said; It is recommended that you take photos of what has been done so far as this could form some evidence if you were to take this to a law of court, for example, the reason why I ask is that I have watched Judge Rinder on ITV in the past and tradespersons...

Hi BAS, Just found this on YouTube about the Hoover fiasco! Have fun, Andrew :)

Hi, Can you post some photos of your current set up (i.e. The Consumer Unit in the Garage) as the forum regulars could ask to see them, in regards to whether you have RCD protection at the consumer unit. As far as the diagram shows, it looks good in my view for what you want to achieve. Hope...

Hi Drrobj, You may want to post some photos because they would be useful! As regards to what you want to acheive, it sounds good in theory, but in practice, and as bernardgeen has already said, a lot of newer extension leads are maximum rated at 10A and a tumble drier would exceed the maximum...
