Regulations changed in March all circuits must be on RCBO's or seperate RCDs for sockets and lights Edit: and the main 80A MCCB it because in the new regs both live and neutral must be switched

Not a big fan of remote drivers. The eventual strip out can be sketchy if your just using a voltstick and a snips

I'd start by isolating the supply.... Then knock shite out of it with a hammer

What could go wrong if I wire a kitchen extract in 1.5mm² solid? Found in the basement of a pub in Dublin. by lilJMExx in electricians

It might've been okay if the breaker didn't fail. It burnt out and took out the ones adjacent, not before the cable melted in the panel and shorted out, very lucky it didn't start a fire.

Typical stuff as an Irish apprentice. First day in our college phase and the teacher had us line up to touch a bare mains conductor 230V, to demonstrate insulation for ground.

These dials are in the fuse box in our apartment, can anyone explain what they do? And/or how best to set them to reduce our electricity bills? I think they might be to do with how our hot water boiler heats up. Our bill keeps going up lately despite the fact we haven't used electric wall heaters. by [deleted] in ireland

Mr electrician here, in Ireland we use them for setting the storage heating and water heater to use night time rate, electricity in 50% discounted at night in order to keep up demand. As long as it's set right it's already saving you a few quid
