Good evening everyone 🙂

I am planning on switching out an old plastic face plate for my extractor fan in the bathroom.

The new one will be metal rather than plastic. I have attached a photo of the current wiring.

Am I right in thinking that the two earth cables that are currently going to the backbox will need to be attached to the front plate? And then a second earth cable then runs from the face plate to the backbox?

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

I have posted this in the Qualifications forum but nobody was answering and I need some info for my retest on 2365 Level 3 fault finding practical (303) before next week.

My question is not on the online test, I have already done this.

I failed this test the first time round as I got caught on finding the faults on the accessories from a fused spur on a ring final circuit . This test is on the test rig Level 3.

Through Continuity and insulation resistance I found the normal faults but...

The cut out fuse is 60A.
The new CU is over 3m away.
I'm not going to be putting a fuse <60A in a switch fuse.
I'm not too sure what to do?
Nothing?
Get DNO to up main fuse to 80?

What’s the best path to take after Level 2 to reach that goal? the course includes electrical design as well and upon completing the course I will get a LVL2 diploma in design as well. I want to mention that I have no experience in the field, only the knowledge from the course. What advice you can give so I can start my path to become an Electrical Design Engineer.

Hi, I recently decided on a career move and am looking for any sound advice on getting the correct accreditation for becoming a qualified electrician domestic & commercial.

Currently we have been with our scheme provider for more than a decade.
They don't ever support retail customers complaining about their or other scheme provider issues.

They don't actually deal with a complaint and try the unrecorded phone call route.

They want to visit once a quarter for an assessment that is 3-1 year according to EAS

Price has gone up and no discounts or discussions.
UKAS are just as useless.

Just about to throw the towel in as we all know there is zero enforcement...

 

I'm an Army qualified sparky from the 1970's, but moved out of the industry after leaving, so do not have a high amount of practical experience, apart from work in my own home.

The low voltage halogen light in my WC has failed, however, the mains cable to the transformer is snagged, probably when a plasterboard ceiling was fitted below the original artexed one so by dropping the existing fitting I cannot access the transformer or its feed cable.

I would like to isolate the existing...

 

Fitted a new design Proteus board a few weeks ago, and one of there improvements is that all RCBOs are now biderectional, as well as SPD with built in fuse, no need for upfront MCB….

But is the bidirectional RCBO the way everyone is going now?

I understand for specific circuits, ie PV, battery storage and vehicle based battery storage… but what about regular circuits that are only downstream from the consumer unit?


Say you have a lighting circuit on a 6A RCBO and something develops a...

Hi, I need some help locating and resolving a fault on a new consumer unit.
I removed an existing plastic MK Sentry duel 63amp RCD unit which worked fine and replaced it with a new metal MK Sentry duel 100amp RCD unit with a SPD.

No 1 RCD I had 5 circuits. No problems all worked fine.

No 2 rcd I had 4 circuits. (There are no appliances plugged in) when I put any load on any of the circuits it trips out No 1 RCD.
When number 1 trips, number 2 doesn't but the voltage at number 2 drops to...

Can I install a ring doorbell by tapping off a junction box going to the outdoor flood light ? Would I use transformer in between ?

Thanks

Hello everybody. Can anyone please advise me? I have an aurora downlight in the bedroom which needs replacing. The issue is i need to change the whole unit but there's not enough slack to pull the unit out of the ceiling to remove the unit from the power junction. I'm worried if I pull too much I'm going to cause damage that I, a novice, won't be able to fix.

Tested all wires from ceiling and the switch. Both have power.
But nothing works!!!
Should’ve been a simple switch over but now not even the old light fitting works. What the hell has happened?!!!
