You may want one now, but you certainly won't want it after it's been installed. It will require constant adjustment to work properly some of the time, the usual modes are the extractor never working, or remaining on permanently. Even if it could be made to work, humidity is a poor choice, as...

Ideal Industries 45-120-341 https://cpc.farnell.com/ideal/45-120-341/metric-wire-stripper-0-75-6-0/dp/TL00610 There are cheapo versions of similar style https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Electrical-Wire-Strippers---150mm/p/500514 which will work but will wear out rather quickly. Probably not a...

If it's like most of them which has a single flexi hose for the hot air, then you are wasting your time. It's continually sucking in more hot air while removing the air it has just cooled. A proper design would have 2 hoses to the outside, one for inlet and one for outlet, and the room air...

The battery is destroyed. Buy a new one. Both because it was discharged far too much, and the fact it needed charging with some external charging affair in the first place.

Fire is probably the least likely problem.

It really isn't. No one will be paid for exporting from some plug in affair, not least because the output of such things will be so low as to be meaningless. Two thirds of domestic properties already have a smart meter.

Who said this and where?

So is everything. It's a socket, which by necessity has holes in it for the plug prongs. The holes are too small for normal fingers to fit into The shutters are there to prevent other objects being inserted. To overcome that protection, it's a deliberate act to overcome the shutters by some...

People will buy them, plug them into circuits never designed for such things, and hope for the best. Later when problems have occurred, the usual 'think of the children' brigade will get all busted up over them and demand that 'they' do something about it.

In summary regarding the 'socket protectors' or whatever else they may be called: In the UK they serve no purpose since every BS1363 socket outlet already includes shutters. Shoving items into the socket to cover them up will at best, achieve nothing. Looking for 'evidence' that they might...

The solution has already been found, so I'd suspect that you are an AI bot which will shortly post the usual junk adverts for things that no one will ever buy or care about.

Not exactly. The LIA created a document for their members (mostly lighting manufacturers) suggesting that certain types of lighting should be IPX4 when installed in certain places in bathrooms. It was created after the 2008 changes to BS7671, the most relevant of which removed Zone 3 and...

It's a rebadged effort with a label that is no longer used. Was made by Lewden, but their products have changed since then. Given it's: 20+ years old was a cheapo econosave thing no parts available other than dodgy used tat from the usual suspects no RCDs for most of the circuits the RCD it has...

Yes, they can be installed in a bathroom. 600mm from bath and shower. Other items are unrelated. Diagrams that show otherwise are wrong and always have been.

Don't go there. To do that properly would need a minimum of 5 years experience working as an electrician full time. Preferably more. It's an area where getting some piece of paper from a course means almost nothing. Most of testing and inspection is the inspection part, and you can't learn...

Maths is really not used there. 99% of it is just the set of standard circuits as found in the On Site Guide, chapter 7.

Really depends on how much and exactly what you want to know - 'electrics' is a vast area of things. Maths is certainly involved, but for many things won't be used often or even at all. Scaddans books are ok, but they are written in an older style and assume a certain amount of prior knowledge...

Yes, as in the other post before this one. There are also surface items which do not require any installation: https://tiger-supplies.co.uk/external-vehicle-cable-protector-3-channel-900mm-l-x-500mm-d-x-70mm-h/ Still looks like you are massively overthinking this - a cable laying on a driveway...

While that is all valid, you would be far better to dispose of the 3 port valve and use 2x 2 port valves instead. No relays required, no valves being held open for ever.

All modern consumer units are fully enclosed at the back, there is no need for any board behind one. Generally they are fixed directly to the wall. There were some rewireable fuseboxes which were just a frame and front cover, and those did require a suitable board behind or the use of a...
