Google sockitz safety shield, they can be installed behind the socket whilst the wall is being plastered or tiled.

I had something where the client told me it was the outside lights tripping the rcd(two other companies had looked and one even changed all the outside lights). It turned out to be the insulation worn on a twin and earth on an oyster fitting inside. Can I ask what make rcbo's you use that are...

Rewired it the next day

Just been read the posts in DIY about someone wanting to move a PC supply without turning it off has just reminded me - Next door neighbour was showing me his newly acquired second-hand lathe the other day. It had a round pin socket mounted to the top of it and came with a lead with a 13amp...

Some switches have IP addresses but unusually there for office use. If you've got an android phone try an app called Fling, it will show all devices on the network I'd imagine similar to Advanced IP Scanner.

Hi kme, I think you'll find there is no fault with the unit. Cisco switches etc usually are noisy as they are designed to site in a data centre or comms room not on someone's desk. I've got a Dell one which is almost as loud as my Dell server

Google cloud print is also worth a look - also works with android and iPhones

Cat5e and 6 will both run 1Gbps at 100m if installed correctly, Cat 6 will have better headroom. Cat6 or shielded would be the better option if your distributing HDMI etc over it.. I don't know where Ash is picking up Cat5 (I presume he means 5e) for 5p a meter, if he is then I expect it is CCA...

crimping works on stranded also, just make sure you buy the right plugs. Cat 6 plugs usually have about 3 parts to them. (to help keep the twist ratio) I find it easier to strip back about 30mm and get them in correct order, hold them flat between finger and thumb - cut the cores down to about...

If your after some get your spark to check with Hager, I'm sure they do them.

Also watch out for those plug in air fresheners, I've seen a couple of them have low IR readings and cause the rcd's to operate.

Hi Aaron, hope you've done ok. Do you know how it compares to the 2391.

Got a call last year for myself and colleagues to a meeting with our local health department, they wanted to go through areas in our hospital that we had worked in and may have been exposed to asbestos. Most of the areas were supposed to have been cleared in the past but had been carried out...

Talking about max Zs values, is the circuit backed by a RCD?

If the Zs permits why don't you fit a type 'C' mcb, let us know if you manage to sort it

On a house alteration I did a couple of years ago, the owner mentioned he had to fit a 'C' curve mcb (Contactum) on one of his existing LED lighting circuits as it kept tripping when switched on. When I replaced the board with Square D RCBO's a 'B' curve was fine on the same circuit, the...

Could also look at MK Echo switches (Wireless and Batteryless)

Walked in to an Architects once and this woman started screaming at us for switching off her machine. It took us about 10mins to convince her we had only just walked up the stairs and hadn't actually started any work headbang Also when I was an apprentice we were rewiring council houses...

I think you'll find save as PDF in Word2007 creates a PDF just the same as any PDF Writers not a Word doc with .pdf file ext.

Keep the numbering simple, I find it easier to flag the ends of the cable and number them 1 - 50. I've seen it so many times where people start using different colour insulating tape and it gets a little confusing. Don't forget any network printers, faxes etc they will need a point each. Like...
