Re: WATER CYLINDER TIMECLOCK

I still don't like the idea of a piece of 2.5mm with a pair of 3kw elements on a 32A MCB.

Re: Test Procedures

I'm thinking in a radial, as the neutral conductor is either shorter, larger CSA or the same size as the other conductors measuring R N doesn't really tell you much. The only real benefit would be should there be a L & E reversal which was missed in ...

Re: Electric Shower dims lights.

Your lights dim owing to the voltage drop caused by the heavy load and the impedance of the cables to your house, not a lot you can do about this. A 9.5kw shower shouldn't be on a 30A fuse as it requires almost 40A. You'll need an electrician to sort...

A starter motor is what you have in a car :P A fluorescent starter is the small tubular device which plugs in the side of a switch start type fitting, you need to rotate it anti clockwise and it will pull out. Some old fittings had them hidden inside...

Dunno, if there is still power to them 240v L-N then try a new tube and a new starter.

Re: change of the cable

The 40A MCB will also need to be changed as a 10.5kw shower pulls about 44A. Best bet is to look here and ask your friends or family for recommendations for an electrician: http://www.competentperson.co.uk/search.asp

Re: Radial sockets! Ahhh

Shurely it depends on what sort of application the circuit is intended for, in a household a fair few of the items will either be double insulated or have next to no earth leakage hence there isn't a need to look into this in great depth. If we expec...

Re: Rccd tripping

A surge arrester has components which start to conduct once the voltage between phase and neutral, phase and earth or earth and neutral exceed a predetermined threshold. If they take a surge from say a lightening strike it may fry these components wh...
