Yes is the answer but don't split the cable inside the wall. Make off the terminations inside one switch and extend using 3core and cpc cable to the second switch.
yes change it, a 400w dimmer will do the trick. as you've halogen lamps the user instructions show you to use a higher rated dimmer due to the current draw thru the circuit. A lower rated dimmer will naff up real quick
I've had many a run in with door entry systems and every one i've come across has been different. I've found that ripping them out is the only sane choice.
Hi walljex, Sorry to poke my nose in but what Kbrownie is saying just incase your not sure is that; to ask those questions it sounds like you may not be a qualified sparks. Installing any electrics outside is classed as a special location under BS7671 and building regs. For you to carry out any work...
I'm sorry to ask you again but it may help us to help you if you can identify the difference in the terminology. wires are the actual conductors and cables are formed from groups of conductors. So far all i've managed to figure out from you is that you have a single gang switch downstairs and a doub...
Just a quick question for all the people in the know. I've recently had a run in with Comet, they supply and fit all sorts of equipment, one of which has been a gas cooker to one of my customers who phoned me up before changing their cooker outlet plate and 13a unswitched socket outlet into metal cl...
Got a bit of hassle with a Honeywell V4073A 3 port valve. got wiring diagram from web as follows: white- heating on grey- hot water off orange- boiler / pump live blue - neutral g/y - earth sounds good so far however my 3 port valve is as follows: red- switchlive from boiler blue- neutral g/y - eart...
[quote="mk84"]Im replacing a standard rose pendant with a 3 light plate spotlight. I have 7 wires... 3 red 3 black and 1 earth wire. Am i correct in bunching all the red wires into one choclate block to maintain the supply to to the ring main? Put one black to the live? Put two blacks to t...
[quote="Stillia"]Hi, a friend of a friend wants me to supply & install a storage heater in his basement, so he can obtain economy 7 rates. He asked me for a quote, but having never fit one before I don't know what to charge!! Can anyone advise me on what to charge & how to install?...
I think you may find that if the power points are all in red you will need a sparky to sort things out, however, if the lighting seems to be all in red apart from the pendants in the ceiling this is quite normal and it's because the installation is more than likely to have metal earthed conduit and ...
[quote="steveshaw"]hiya i wander if you can help me i leave my kitchen light on all night and every now and then about 6 times a day it goes out and comes back on it also gets other lights flicker as well even my bedroom light buzzes when its not switched on any ideas thks[/quote] I rememb...
hi PVS ... sounds like you've got a two-way light switch, from the upstairs lighting circuit. What interests me the most is that the MCB and the RCD is tripped at the same time.. The MCB give overload protection and on a 6amp circuit this is 30 amps and the RCD gives earth fault protection. the MCB ...
I would read the legislation as this: Part-p is a building regulation and as long as all work is carried out according to the building regs, and you inform the local authority that work is being undertaken, and to what extent, they will be more than happy to oversee the work being done. This means b...
[quote="mephistico"]Bear in mind also that the bonding may be undersized to current regs & a test/inspection is probably due. With an older installation there is no need to comple with 17th edition regulations. You should concentrate on getting it up to 16th edition (split load board, ...
b4 removing anything switch off the timer and use a volt stick to pick up the current flow in the supply cable .. use this method rather than mucking around with 2nd guessing manufacturers instructions. then isolate the circuit and crack on.
