time you considered an upgrade to the latest 17th edition fuse board. These old fuse boards DO NOT have the SAFETY protection like the new 17th Edition Fuse boards. The new 17th edition fuses boards will trip out any circuit that should suddenly develop a fault of some kind. These faults could be anything for example if you are moving the lawn and you accidentally run over the electric cable the 17th edition fuse board will trip out in milliseconds preventing you from getting an electric shock. Depending on how many circuits are on your old fuse board depends on the fuse board we install because will always where possible try to leave you with at least 2 spare ways in the fuse board for extra circuits that you might need in the future. Electrician Leicester CBailey Electrical can change your old fuse board for a 17th edition fuse board in less than a day so you won’t be inconvenienced for too long.
The 17th edition fuse boards have been designed for maximum protection combining MCB and RCD protection. The MCB stands for Miniature Circuit Breaker and RCD stands for Residual Current Device. To the general public this won’t mean a lot but I will try to explain what each are. The MCB has replaced the old fuse wire and has gradually got better and better for reliability over the years. If a short circuit fault occurs the fuse wire would blow leaving you a 10 minute job trying to replace the fuse wire, the MCB replaced the fuse wire and should a short circuit fault occur you would reset the MCB after repairing the fault. The RCD is a different type of protection is detects differences between a live cable and the earth cable also the neutral and earth cable. The RCD protects the earth cables against earth leakages and prevents you receiving an electric shocks. Electrician Leicester Cbailey Electrical.
Here Is A Recent Solar Panel Installation
 |
This solar panel installation was installed back in January 2012 and it is the largest solar panel installation we have installed. There are 3 large 3 phase inverters which took 2 people to mount onto the wall using raw bolts to hold the mounting bracket in place. There are 210 solar panels in the field which sounds a lot but looking at the field the panels don’t look out of place.
This installation should make the farmer a fair return on his investment because these inverters will send energy back to the national grid that is not being used by the farmer. Electrician Leicester CBailey Electrical also instal domestic smaller solar panels. This is just to show the quality of workmanship.

3 Phase Electrical Installations
CBailey Electrical Ltd Electrician Leicester has over 20 years electrical experience in 3 Phase electrical Installations.
The nominal voltage for a 3 phase installation is 415 volts AC but with the reguations change this voltage should be reducing to 400 volts AC these voltages have a tollerance and may vary up or down slightly. The nominal voltage of the normal house hold is 240 volts and again should be reducing to 230 volts. 3 Phase installations are more dangerous because of the voltage difference and the higher current that is used.

Electrician Leicester Changing A Consumer Unit.
This is one of our latest jobs, There is a before and after photo’s of the 17th edition consumer unit change over. We changed an old 3 phase switched fuse isolator which we re sited and install a 100 amp single phase supply which then fed a brand new 17th edition consumer unit. After the consumer unit changer over a full periodic inspection and test was done on the installation and a periodic inspection and test certificate was issued to the customer and we also inform NAPIT of the changes who in turn inform the local councils of the alterations.

Before and After The 17th Edition Consumer Unit Change Over.
As you can see there is a big difference in the 17th edition fuse board compared with the very old fuse boards which are made out of wood and either have re wire able fuses or MCB’S installed. We also add warning stickers to the new 17th edition consumer unit and a test sticker which indicates when the installation should be re tested. The age of the installation was approximately 20 to 25 years old and the wire was nearly all the old colours red and black and therefore we put a warning sticker on the new 17th edition consumer unit which says that there is 2 types of wiring on this installation. For any further information on consumer unit change over please contact us.

Solar Panel Installions Leicester
Latest Solar Panel Installation.
With the ever increasing prices in energy bills a lot of people are investing in Solar Panels and other energy save methods and devices. To a certain degree the solar panels are relatively new. The Solar Panels have been around for over 10 years now but they are slowly popping up in every town and villages. The solar panel installation below is in a farmers field and there are 210 solar panels which have been connected to a 3 phase 400v supply. As you can see there are a lot of solar panels in the farmers field from the solar panels we dug a trench in the field and buried all the cables that connect to the solar panels in a flexi ducting. The cables entered a small plant room close to floor level. We mounted the DC cables from the solar panels onto some cable tray and neatly zipped tied all the cables onto the cable tray. Because of the size of the solar panel installation we had to install three 3 phase inverters, you can see them in the photos the inverters are the three large blue boxes. Each inverter was separately feed from the 3 phase fuse board you can see in the middle of the photo.

Solar Panels Installation Leicester – Inverters
The solar panel inverters turn the DC energy that is being generated into AC energy that can be either used in the home or returned back to the grid and earn you some revenue in the process. That is what these inverters do, for example if you go to work during the day time all the energy that has been generated from the solar panels during the day time will be sent back to the national grid and earn the house holder a good return on their investment. If on the other hand you are in the house all day cooking, cleaning, washing and drying then the energy that is being generated will be used by the householder and if there is any energy that is left over this will go back to the grid. If you need a little more energy to what the solar panels are generating then you will be using energy from grid. The inverters have both AC and DC inside them.
Solar Panels Installation Leicester – Strings
Every solar panel installation has at least 1 string, a string is a group of solar panels wired up together and a pair of cables that come from the solar panels a positive and a negative is a string. It all depends on the solar panels you are installing to how many strings you need as well as the input voltage to the inverters. This installations had 4 strings on each of the three runs of solar panels. Therefore we had to install an isolator for each string that we connected to the inverters. You can see the isolators in the photos they are small square boxes with a black rotating switch in the center. The isolators are to turn off the DC energy when you need to do any maintenance to the inverters.
