G59 Testing is an essential step in connecting solar farms now established across the UK to the network. Engineering recommendation G59 sets out the standards required for the connection of a Generating Plant to the Distribution Systems of a licensed Distribution Network Operator (DNO). It states the requirements that you must [...]
Fire protection on construction or temporary sites, marquees for instance, wouldn’t require a permanent system or the labour required to fit it. At the other end of the spectrum are an air horn or rotary fire bell, which although allowing some sort of alarm are perhaps not suitable for larger applications or where there are [...]
The main advantage of a twinflex panel is that it was one of the first widely available and easy to use 2 wire systems. This made them ideal for quick installations into houses of multiple occupancy (HMO) and small commercial premises. These twinflex fire alarm panels are available in the three [...]
An electrical fire at Bath Travel in Dorset demonstrates the importance of regular electrical maintenance in both businesses and homes.
A faulty fuse box was found to be the cause by fire crews from both Redhill and Springbourne and the shop was lucky to escape with just moderate smoke damage.

Infra-red Thermography
An electrical contractor in Torquay has been called in to repair the distribution equipment in a school following a serious fire.
The electrical fire in a Torquay school may have been prevented by the routine use of thermography on an annual basis by the planned maintenance contractors.
This test is not [...]
So what is a trip switch?
Quite simply if there is enough electricity flowing through you to earth when you touch the live conductor to kill you (50mA), the device will isolate the power. Residual current circuit breakers or residual current devices are usually set to trip at 30mA. This device [...]
