Bought a new screwfix 3kVA transformer and the router works fine on Type B 16A mcb. Second hand transformer the problem. It did work fine on market stall which is probably on Type C or D fuse. Anyone need a transformer? Thanks for info. Relay switch makes sense. Hopefully we are sorted now ...

fair enough. I didn't need to ask that one. Thanks for all comments.

Problem is its a B16 we need the transformer to run off not a C16. If we go for a new trannie, what size would we need to run a 1850W router? Looking at screwfix which has 1.5 or 3 KVA- both at about £60.

My partner bought a 2nd hand 3kVA transformer to run a router rated at 1850W. When the tranformer was switched on it tripped Type B RCD and blew plug fuse immediately - both in workshop which is on a 16A trip and also in house (on 32A). When bought it was tested on a market stall socket and...

help needed please. I repaced old dodgy cables between timer and baxi combi boiler. i noted which went where but timer now not working. Boiler has two 2.5mm flexes running to timer. Boiler connections are marked: N L N1 L2 3 4 5 6 7 8 . Cables were/are as follows: fused Switch...

yep like a dream- drill driver and pliers. Thanks. two more to go-i'll be prepared this time

or failing that i will go for a firm hammer tap . one way or another. ta

i've got a borrowed drill driver so will try that. cheers

screw head is going to get knackered. It wont move. Hitting it with anything wouldn't be something i fancy doing. Box loks like it would fall apart first. i only have a sds 240v so if power is off ... i feel a bit wuss like. things i think will be simple wee jobs never are.

I am trying to replace a rewirable fuse with a mini-trip mcb for a bit more protection until i get the whole box changed. I have pulled out the rewirable fuse holder but can't undo the screw that holds the back piece in . Its a flat head screw and i can't get it to move- any tips or is it just...

Thanks for all useful info- I will definitely look into Napit. cheers

Thanks for info on NAPIT etc. I'll look in to this. I did C & G. 2330 Electrotechnical Certificate in Installation (Buildings and Structures). and 17th edition in July 08. I definitely could do with training and more knowledge on Inspection and testiing. I want to set up as self- employed...

I have done my city and guilds in electrical installation , have a bit of practical experience but if i want to work alone will have to be registered and be able to sign off work. Whats the best way to go about this. I did inspection and testing at college but that was a year or so ago- i could...

I am going to update my consumer unit from a rewirable to a split load. I am not sure about how to go about removing main fuse prior to this. It is a digital meter and plastic enclosure holding fuse. Can anyone advise me? Am I best to get the electric company to do this Part? What is the cost ...

thanks for replies. Much appreciated So both cables from lower part of combi should be flex?- 0.75mm Why are there 2 cables from combi to timer? - is it as a ring circuit of sorts? - one of which leaves combi as T+E and changes to flex to enter timer. the other is T+E all the way. then one...

Can timer and fcu be remote from boiler?- as in about 12 feet below in kitchen? I will obviously mark up fcu. How does cabling go. My boiler has the dodgiest cabling- a mix of flex and T+E. Two T+E cables exit base of boiler -one down into the timer. The other connects via some insulated...
