Recently my EL on the main DB has been tripping. There is a grid typed inverter(installed 6-8 years ago) with neutral and earth internally bonded before this EL, that has it's own DB board with it's own EL downstream of the inverter. Problem varies in frequency but becoming more frequent. Main DB and EL runs the house. Stove. Geyser. Rooms etc.
Recently had a Mercer inverter installed. Can't understand why green light stops and goes on all the time. This is the 2nd set of batteries he got for me. He doesn't get back to me. I am on pension and have been badly let down and taken advantage of. I cannot afford to pay a large sum of money for a call out. I just need advice please. Deeply disappointed and depressed about the matter. This is not what i bargained for. Thank you.
An electrical installation is a group of items of electrical equipment that are permanently electrically connected together and can be supplied with electricity from the works of an electricity entity or from a generating source. An item of electrical equipment may be part of more than 1 electrical installation. Steps to Install electrical distribution board You must have to install the feeder pipe at first. If you're using metal pipe, place a plastic bushing over the connector threads. Using a tape, pull the electrical feeder wires through the feeder pipe. Leave enough wire to get to the opposite side of the panel.

• the storeroom light works but only at night as its linked to all the other communal lights in the building that only switch on at night ( all linked to a timer which is linked to the main DB , next to the storeroom). So, the storeroom light stays on all night which is a waste. As do all the garage lights as well. • We need to separate the Storeroom light switch from the timer so it can be a standalone switch. • the communal area is the one that needs to go on a daylight switch

Good day, You once came to repair, service and move the outside aircon unit at my place. However, the challenges continue with water still being discharged in the house and not outside. I would therefore like to remove this aircon, specifically the outside unit until I have decided on whether I put in a new once or a used unit. Regards
