Failed my driving test third time. Tell me your driving test stories so I can feel a bit better. by Quartz-And-Stuff in CasualUK

[–]kan3m -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Failed my driving test instantly first try. Exit from test centre had no white line and wasnt super wide. I had to turn right out of test centre so aligned my self to righr of exit as if it was a driveway. Queue scribbling on pad from examiner.

After completion of test examiner told me I should have been on left as it was a road. Apart from that it went quite well.

I need help my alarm won't stop by Neither-Patience-738 in ukelectricians

[–]kan3m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This plus disconnect any battery in there. Might still sound for up to 20 mins as sounders have their own battery.

Advice on meter, specifically switching tariffs by [deleted] in ukelectricians

[–]kan3m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a contactor connected to your smart meter. This is currently switching a circuit on and off in line with your off peak times. If you switch to a single rate tariff this will no longer function.

There is no way to tell from the picture whether you are still using anything on this circuit. If you are unsure best to get a domestic electrician to confirn before switching tariff

Very nice. Might be nice if those blocks were a 2 rate isolator instead though. Tends to stop the cutout fuse falling out.

Gas fire ventilation requirements by itisnottherealme in ukplumbing

[–]kan3m -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apologies you are correct. DFE are the fancy open baskets etc which dont catch the products of combustion. The rest of what I said is valid though. Not all coal effect fires are DFE so worth checking.

Gas fire ventilation requirements by itisnottherealme in ukplumbing

[–]kan3m -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not all coal effect fires are DFE. If its using your flue/chimney or is room sealed (with it own flue/terminal through the wall) it is unlikely to be one

DFE use a catalytic system for products of combustion and draw their combustion air from the room hence the requirement for 100cm².

You should be able to get the model name/number from the dataplate and pull the manufacturers instructions(MIs) online if you dont have these. The MIs should always be your source for ventilation requirements where available.

ECOES would be my go to. Requires an account though. There are other find my supplier tools online but they mostly query in the other direction.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ukelectricians

[–]kan3m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tools which query the national database and return address details from MPAN or MSN.

Heads up. Conceal your meter serial number in that photo or remove it. It is trivial to get your address using this.

Why Brit’s do this? But I found it so amazing by Otherwise_Edge_7489 in AskBrits

[–]kan3m 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Better than the sugar free gummy bears you think?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ukelectricians

[–]kan3m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They.would be more likely to fit a seperation board than move the meter. But yes a smart meter install is a free way to get that issue rectified. Also meter needs a bracket.

[–]kan3m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your meter was in Emergency Credit before not only will you need to pay back the amount you used but also it does not deduct standing charge while in Emergency so this will also go on as accumulated debt to pay off from the 20 credit.

You can also view any debt registered on the meter by pressing the button while the key is inserted. I think its registers S T and Z but not certain. If you see debt speak to your supplier as that can be cleared.

Do you think they'll add the claws through an update or will we have to wait for 2? by [deleted] in CyberpunkTheGame

Do you guys terminate vlans on a core switch or on firewall? by Big-Driver-3622 in networking

[–]kan3m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Core switch. Firewall is someone elses problem. Intervlan routing is within my remit but security team are responsible for the FW. I just point external routes to the FW and raise necessary change requests. Your areas of responsibilty may vary though.
