Cold water flow? I dont remember exactly, but once i measured it using that special flow measuring mug and it was on a low side

Hiya. Ive got a Vaillant ecotec plus combi boiler installed about 5 years ago. The problem im getting is that hot water heating only triggers when there's a fully open hot water flow, what is a problem because ive got mixer taps all around the house. I have read about replacing diaphragm, but is...

Well, to be honest i'd a chance to build a couple of Stornext solutions based on Brocade and Quantum hardware under supervision of one of the top Stornext consultants worldwide. Now im maintaining those solutions and decided that building them is a path a want to take in my career. Obviously at...

Thanks for your post. Im going to use APC switched PDUs for some of the equipment but not for everything. Of course i will have monitoring in place and will be feeding Home Automation controller with some of that data. Fibre-based Storage Area Network with a lot of storage, fibre test lab...

As ive said above, ive got multiple, redundant fire detection systems ready to install around my servers. Im actually quite paranoid about fire risk. But there will be no gain from them if they wont be able to automatically switch off the power.

OK lets completely forget about my design and start from scratch. I need two 16A and two 13A sockets. I need those sockets connected to mains through switch/switches like this http://www.vesternet.com/z-wave-aeon-labs-heavy-duty-switch. Lets keep it simple. Can I just tell my electrician to...

Yes, ive already acknowledged that. Now i actually feel bad about wasting my time to design it, because i found that there's a ready-made solution which i could have fitted and it's called "Caravan Hook Up point". All my IT equipment is enterprise grade, but im going opensource way with HA. I...

Doing circuit design on a computer screen is far from being a "notifiable work". Unfortunately, electricians - while having tip-top knowledge about building regs and behaviour of currents in low voltage circuits - are rarely proficient in IT equipment, Z-wave systems or home automation. Wiring...

Sure thing, although i still need to chase the walls for him, prepare the surface where the new CU will be installed, as i dont want him to screw it to the bare brick, etc. Light is connected to the light circuit, im not taking it into account. Whole house is protected by two fixed RCDs in my...

OK guys. Thank you for all your help. You made me realize that my idea of this circuit was completely wrong and overcomplicated(!). I've rethinked this i basically i can connect the boiler and one socket (which are located on the wall opposite 16A sockets) to the existing ring, and just get...

Indeed. Not a farm though, just a bunch of normal servers, home network, home automation, etc

Fully understand, but still - I will need to show him a schematics of what i want to do, as it isn't a "normal" domestic job with all the relays etc.

Hi, maybe my schematic is not very clear - the ring is between CU, two 13A double sockets, fused spur box and a distribution point with three MCB-protected spurs, unless ive made some mistake of course. I need to run electricity to my loft, where i need it to power the following appliances...

Hi. Im trying to design a new ring final circuit for my loft. Can someone please have a look on this draft and assess if there's something wrong in it, etc? I've got no experience or knowledge in electrics and dont know much about Building regs. Im especially worried about using MCB's and a...
