Will a sparky be able to check if the elements are dead ? . I would guess also more than 1 issue at work here . Super Sparky will solve it ?

There was ! Builders ‘electrical ‘ mate did it . All been signed off properly now . Be interesting to see what ‘my’ sparky says .....

There is no off peak ( assume you mean economy 7 ) .

Yeah but the things not working and it’s a rental . Best not I touch it - liability and all that . Suspect the switch because although it was lit when I left and subsequently was not lit tenant said water was Luke warm for a bit then cold . So guessing it did heat for a bit before the switch failed again . This sparky isn’t the one that installed it . This one I’ve used 100 times and trust - so if there’s anything suspect / not regs he’ll sort it . Then of course bill me ?

Tenant just informed me no hot water and that 2nd switch is not lit again . Got him to prod it - no joy . So although the neon light doesn’t guarantee anything I think I need a sparky

Lol ! I don’t know ! I didn’t wire it ! ? I’ll see if it works ( I’ve allowed an hour so will contact tenant now ) . In theory though even if bottom switch was off , top timed one should of provided a tank of hot water anyway ....

Tenants tell me no hot shower water which comes from a uvc . Taking a look I see for some reason the second switch down with orange light is not lit . I literally apply almost no pressure and the light comes on . So assume the switch mechanics are dodgy . The orange light though now ‘wobbles’ ( or my eyes are bust ) - is that a further sign of an impending issue ?

All on same rcd

Not experienced that . But installer who claimed to have a Tesla - said it switches instantly; you don’t even notice . This though I need to test for real !!

Cornwall yeah ? . You’ve got fudge and ‘cream teas ‘ ( no euphemism ) but no crt box

Does for me ! ?????

Shite - it’s at least a mm out

Will the bathroom ups heat the bathroom also ? ?

I probably need at least to find a ups that’s compatible with the nas I.e the ups can tell the nas to shutdown . I then need to find maybe a ups compatible with homeseer to shut that pc down ( though I may be able to get the nas ups to trigger a z wave event which homeseer can pick up on )

Rcd tripped . Tesla can’t fix that !

Not sure. the spec doesn't explicitly state that it does.

No . But having a nas or sever just have power go without proper shutdown is not what I want

Because I don’t want the nas or server dying due to a power outage

So what should I be looking for in a ups so it doesn’t trip the rcd ? A specific spec ???

Yes ip cameras off poe router - but not via ups . I’m wondering as I think @PeterW indicated the ups charging might cause the trip . What am I looking for in a UPS to prevent that ? . eBay one was a cheapy ... I suppose rather than ups usage at power outage is to have a ups that doesn’t trip the rcd .....

Ups a flea bay purchase Powercool Smart UPS 1200VA - 3 x UK Plug, 3 x IEC, 2 x RJ45, USB, LED Display nas is Synology ds1019+ Can paste the ups spec from eBay if need be .

Ups is only a few months old . Will get details of psu etc . Later ?

A rcd keeps tripping ( every few days ) . Only thing hanging off this are a ups ( which feeds my network server ) and ( not off the ups ) a poe router . The UPS it would seem doesn’t have enough juice to keep the server alive - looks like it tripped around 8pm . Not on site - so would assume nothing apparent happened to cause this . Though I don’t want the rcd tripping ; I’d also like the ups to last 12 hours . So rcd to ups , ups to Nas Also feeds a router via a multi socket lead with surge protection . Are any of those components likely to cause an issue ? . What ‘size’ UPS should I go for ? - overkill welcome !!

Me and Jeremy always got on . He understood my exceptional skills and being ahead of the curve . He once PM’d me and said “ Stupid brilliance , brilliant stupidly - that’s you that is “

Probably true . I guess the ‘male’ doctor didn’t have a SWMBO as he gleefully swapped her when the cleaning argument began .
