Does another switch operate the same landing light? The reason I ask is that it may be that the black cable is not a neutral but the permanent live to your landing light. The red L2 cable is testing as permanent live due to the position of the downstairs switch. My assumption is: Cable...

Despite the focus of interactive website content moving to HTML5 many websites still use Flash. I would recommend not installing and then seeing which websites are affected. Chrome has it's own flash player built in so this may remove the requirement anyway.

We had a similar incident in our chem lab at school whereby one of the gas taps was connected to the vacuum tap via a Bunsen hose!

The warnings on the back of the product are brilliant: 1. Don't take off unprofessionally 2. Keep away from water 3. The GFCI does not guard against electric shock resulting from with both circuit conductors - That explains that nicely then :)

I like/use SyncBack. They do a free and a paid for version: http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/syncback-hub.html

The 32A cannot supply a 32A and a 5A You would either need a higher rated MCB at the house (and therefore larger cable) or consider reducing the 32A at the garage. What tools/equipment will you be running in the garage? You may be better off installing a duct and draw string. Your...

This was my experience. The SafetySure range of sockets from Screwfix (and other places) seem to cause a L-E 'leak' however, the Powerbreaker FCU I have upstairs seems to use the L-N method as it never trips my main RCD. It was because of this, and advice on this forum, that I replaced the...

3 - if your socket circuit is RCD protected the outside socket does not require separate RCD protection. http://www.screwfix.com/p/bg-nexus-13a-2g-dp-switched-socket/67928 Most would recommend connecting the outdoor socket to your 'ring main' via a dual pole isolator. This would allow you...

Makes perfect sense. Thanks again both.

Thanks for your replies greasedmonkey/bernard. I also found this while searching: http://www.instructables.com/community/Need-help-with-wiring-a-KJD17-switch-for-homemade-/ So when the supply to the coil is released this releases the switch - and therefore the "no voltage release"...

Hi, I recently purchased a no voltage release switch to operate a small lathe. There is a wiring diagram on the side of the casing and I am wondering if someone can help me by explaining what the terminal marked "A1" is for please? I intend to connect the line/neutral feeds to 13...

Could you use something like this to reset the power to the PI? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Power-Cable-for-Raspberry-Pi-with-ON-OFF-switch-microUSB-extension-lead-/171305347085?pt=UK_Computing_USB_Cables&hash=item27e298280d or...

NANOCad is another free CAD program. http://nanocad.com/

I have used both no. 13 and no. 14 in the past. Mainly for use with computer equipment when everything required mains power.

This advert has some of the fuse covers without the lid - I think they were for the plug in MCB replacements. They may be a good starting point if you were going to make one? It would be easier to fashion a lid rather than the whole cover...

Sounds good - it is all down to what network enabled equipment you use. I went with the centralised switch as I wanted equipment with higher bandwidth requirements to be hardwired. I only use WiFi for portable devices. Also, as suggested elsewhere this is my forever house so the investment...

I would be worth considering running CAT5/6 cabling to each room from a central point. A network switch would then be installed at this central point, maybe an understairs cupboard?

Not sure if this helps in the CPU battle... http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-D-945-vs-AMD-Athlon-2800

The Galaxy have a 8.4" version. Full specs can be found here: http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/tablets/tab-s/SM-T700NZWABTU If you are happy with a 7" screen the Nexus 7 2013 is a great buy. It has: - 1920x1200 display at 323ppi - stereo speakers - 16GB (for £169) -...

[/url] Agreed. The software works well and allows you to watch videos from the memory device.
