So a trip to Abergele then with the cases, which is what I did. The postal restrictions resulted in cheaper to collect them from mid wales to getting them delivered. Some where near where it says Bull across the traffic lights to old place.

I got my replacements from Tanya was called Manchester Batteries, never asked about VAT. Still in same town, but moved to new premises, at least parking easier now. As to lead acid v lithium it is the recharge time which makes the difference, with lead acid looking at 16 hours, with lithium can...

It is called 2D, they have been out since the 80's and there are LED units to fit them. But they also make it look like a doctors surgery.

Does not matter, as supplied from the clients home, although that seems odd, I know I don't have a 16 amp supply on a TT earthing system suitable to supply a caravan type vehicle, that is only likely to be found on farms and the like. This is why I had assumed using an inverter may have been...

"Van" rings alarm bells, where is the 230 volt coming from? Many heaters use diodes to reduce the output by half, or use some wave form clipping, if supplied from a simulated sine wave this may be messed up, I would too look at using a clamp meter.

100-240V suggests to me it will not work with 12 volt.

It is unusual to use 12 volt LED down lighters unless in a bathroom today, when we stopped using quartz halogen the advantages vanished, however many old systems have been converter to LED and the main problem is the rating of the power supply, in the old days we would see some thing like 20 -...

The genetic diagram for Y Plan does not show a permanent line to the boiler, and a supply from the boiler to run the pump, but other wise it is the same. Y Plan is not easy to understand because the three port valve is a weird unit John Ward does a good you tube on how it works.

Seen some other things on EFIXX they seem to think this is an LED bulb, so although I can see the ideas here I fail to see how one would know when there is some buried pipe, cable etc is where it could transmit voltage to a pedestrian, the old idea was that some insulating plate is placed on an...

Watch a video about problems with on street EV charging units, and not having same earth as other street furniture. But who is responsible to ensure say a BT box is same earth system as street light or ilumated sign? Never really thought about it.

In the main, I agree. However the big problem is the bulb no longer emits light as intense or omnidirectional to the old tungsten bulb, so even if using bulbs, one often needs to change the lamp to suit the new bulbs, I ended up with this instead of a single 150 watt bulb which did light the...

It depends if you have a neutral or not at switch position, and if there are enough wires for a switched and permanent line.

I have tried to trace wires, in top of RCD's out of bottom, and they look correct to me, but hard to trace with picture. The RCD's are type AC and only 63 amp the latter OK if on a 60 amp fuse, the is only true for a line - earth fault, with a neutral - earth fault it may trip on highest loaded...

I would go back to basic first, why do you need a more powerful fan? My shower room the extractor has failed, and since we have no problems done nothing to correct it. I have looked at three houses and their shower rooms, two no problem, one mould growth, and it is nothing to do with the bad...

Not quite, one I would use oval conduit with existing plaster so not so much plaster needs removing, but he has missed out all the inspection and testing. So step one, how many cables go to donor socket? He shows two, so likely part of a ring or radial, not a spur. So these plans show what we...

Is an out building classed as an appliance? "The load current in any part of the circuit should be unlikely to exceed for long periods the current-carrying capacity of the cable (Regulation 433.1.5 refers). This can generally be achieved by: (i) locating socket-outlets to provide reasonable...

The idea is to put it where it will be on the most, the TRV will stop a room over heating, but can't stop a room under heating, also when summer arrives nice to have heating auto stop, so being in a cool room means heating less likely to run on a warm day. The other points is should not be in a...

To quote however 1533 Ω is within the limits for a 30 mA RCD with a TT installation, so question one has to be what is the earthing arrangement for the home? Next has to be 999 what? Ω, KΩ, or MΩ? Same with Insulation: 113 is this Ω, KΩ, or MΩ? at 999 I would assume limit that his meter will...

Interested as this summer want to add a second thermostat, likely Hive or Drayton Wiser, it needs to be wireless and I already have zigbee. From what I read Hive will only activate with a demand for heat if the thermostat is below 22ºC, there was talk about making this user selectable, but not...

The Falklands has same rules as us, however while out there is was clear they did not obey the rules like we do.
