Skirting trunking has been taken off the shelves, generally as you need to stay within the 450 to 1200 mm heights for disabled access. If you already have skirting trunking there you MAY get away with it but it's a gamble in my opinion!

Ya might get someone else to do testing as i dont have the equipment and havent done it since i qualified. Each machine is on its own circuit, New 6mm and 10mm swa cable used for the circuits 10mm just for the two big machines. Thing just has me baffled!!!

Typically 1.8 mulitplier factor useally cover most case of discharge luminaires expect some electronic verison then I will drop it down to 1.3. Btw the 1.8 mulitpiler do work with both 50 HZ and 60 HZ discharge luminaires. { for DC verison Don't go there it a nutty spot to deal with it } Merci,Marc

Hi. To be honest everyone has their own way of cutting and forming trunking and conduit and it's kind of hard to describe in words on here. There is a guide on e-bay that maight worth a look. A grinder with a super thin cutting disc, adjustable square, tape measure and felt pen are the essentials IMO.

Definately don,t tape in conduit but trunking yes .If you get a electrical spec.from a consultant you will probably find that it asks for cables in trunking to be grouped into circuits and also the circuits be identified where they enter and leave the trunking and also at 2mtr intervals throught the trunking run yours benji

If there is just the one contactor then it's DOL (direct on line) and if there is no transformer in the enclosure the contactor coil will be either 380/440v off two phases or 220/240v off a single phase and neutral. If 220/230 check the continuity of the neutral to one side of the coil and live to the other. If the contactor has a cover with start/stop buttons on it, take the cover off and try pushing the contactor in with a stick, and...

I make my apprentcies do them as often as possible

They stopped teaching apprenti how to make there own sets?? When i was a lad you had to make them all yourself
