It depends on the rating of the grid switches. If they are standard 20A DP switches then a double socket is not ok. Fitting a fused connection unit whilst safe would not be a good solution. Having the hot water tap and the tumble dryer running at the same time would overload a 13A fuse causing...

I miss enable.co.uk they used to provide a great service. I've not found anyone else since offering a similar service.

Yeah that's how I read it.

Good evening, hope everyone in DIYnot land is keeping well! Just seen that Siemens have announced they will be stopping producing all wiring accessories sold under the Crabtree, Volex and Appleby brands at the end of this year. I used to install nothing but Appleby boxes as they used to be...

I've used a Henry with the hepa-flo bags for years and it works brilliantly. The hardest task it has to deal with is when it's connected to my wall chasing machine which creates a huge amount of very fine dust. it can keep up for about a metre of chasing and then I have to turn it off, give it a...

Yeah I’m all good thanks. I’ve just about got out of contracting altogether so don’t often post these days but I still look in from time to time!

Well it’s been a little while since I last posted a picture of the week but had an exciting event at work today and though you might all enjoy it! I was plugging in this 400A feeder when the end popped right off!!

This is at flys level but on the opposite side of the stage to where the flys are operated from. The current temporary touring install comprises of about 200 individual 16A circuit mostly run on 6 circuit socapex cables and 5120 channels of control data. Our supplies are 400A three phase for...

Hey all. I don’t post on here so much these days due to a change in circumstances but just thought I’d share with you a picture of one of my most recent installations. Hope you enjoy! (This isn’t a wind up by way!)

I posted a similar one quite some time ago!! https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/video-of-the-month.87329/ Unfortunately photobucket have broken the link to the video and want to charge me to use it - although it was pre smartphone so not exactly great quality

I did wonder about the switch but it feels ok and I can’t hear any arcing. Even when I jabbed the switch so it opened quickly it still tripped. If the weather stays poor I’m going to go and have a look tomorrow.

Been to have a very quick look at an RCBO tripping fault today. So far haven’t had anything in bits or done any testing so I have no idea what is causing it. The symptom is that the RCBO trips most times when the lights are switched off in one of the rooms. The lights switch on fine and stay on...

Star drills had just about disappeared when I started out but my main job as an apprentice was knocking out back boxes with a lump hammer and sash knife. We eventually got all modern when we upgraded to a scutch chisel :LOL:

No don’t worry definitely not ikea cabinets

Yeah I’ve got one but I’ve never liked using it. It just doesn’t feel like the proper way to do things but maybe that’s me being old fashioned. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4430592 ;)
