    Need SIMPLE explanation of PFC

    Thanks everyone for the input. Maybe the test equipment was on the wrong scale or a simple mis-reading. I'm going to believe the suggestions that it should have been .836kA as that seems much more in-line with what I have read. I'll get back to the contractor for an explanation or new...

    Need SIMPLE explanation of PFC

    I had a new installation at home certified recently and was told to tell the electricity supplier that [in the "Supply Characteristics & Earthing" section] the Prospective Fault Current (PFC) was very high at 84kA.

    How do I widen a hole for kitchen sink

    Maximum 13amp socket height

    1. I plan to install a mains spur behind the wall-mounted TV. It will be in a vertical steel pipe from the floor chased into the wall. However, I'm confused by the regulations concerning the maximum allowed height. I need it to be 1.5m from the floor but I think I read that the maximum is 1.2m...
