    Does that not depend on fault levels?

    BS1362 Dissmann Fuses - Genuine or Fake?

    I can't see any pics, Bussmann is a manufacturer, it is only a knockoff of a Bussmann product if it is carrying the Bussmann name without their permission.

    The other switch sounds like it is/was part of a two way lighting setup.

    Help needed 240v to 120v

    What wattage are they? If you include lamps then a 100VA transformer may be undersized. As others have said, send them back to the US and buy something suitable for the UK.

    VGA output on DVR

    Wether or not it will work will probably depend on what your DVR VGA is outputting, the lead you link to has a note at the bottom of the description regarding this. Composite video isn't usually included in a VGA port, it usually separates RGB and Horizontal + Vertical syncs. For £2.60 I can't...

    Raid alert after fitting new battery.

    It sounds more like a SMART error than a RAID one, sometimes you can turn off SMART in the BIOS. (Got to love all those acronyms!)

    Site vault power

    You can buy 110v-240v transformers, the one I have is blue. The output of it is electrically separate, like a shaver socket. As for the extension getting robbed, two options I can see are to have the inlet inside or put a staple (from a hasp and staple) on the outside and put a padlock on it...

    Horstmann economy 7 quartz

    The next two steps would be to isolate the supply, disconnect and check the resistances of the immersion heater electrodes to see if they are closed circuit (and check if there is a safety cutout that has tripped). If the safety cutouts haven't tripped, followed by checking if there is a supply...

    Horstmann economy 7 quartz

    The supply must be getting to the switch as the lights work (and the clock is ticking). Do you have a multimeter?

    Horstmann economy 7 quartz

    Is it a twin immersion heater setup? For the sparks, there is a copy of the internals diagram here: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/DataSheets/Horstmann/E7Q_I.PDF

    Earthing a metal container

    The supply shouldn't be T&E, even on a catenary. It is not suitable for installation in direct sunlight, nor where there may be movement. The cable may degrade and is attached to a supposedly metal catenary wire, personally if they refuse to change it I'd run a mile!!

    Boiler as in an immersion heater? Is the clock ticking around?

    Problems changing downlighter in bathroom

    There will be spring clips holding the lot up, but to access the lamp the bottom of it probably just unscrews. I'm not sure if it unscrews clockwise or counter clockwise tho.
