NAPIT's WATT'S CURRENT podcast returns with technical updates, regulatory advice, and expert insights for UK electrical contractors.
NAPIT has launched a new series of its technical podcast, WATT’s CURRENT, aimed at electrical contractors, installers, and trade professionals across the UK. Hosted by Technical Commercial Manager Steve Humphreys and Technical Commercial Engineer Andrew Duffen, the series introduces new commentary alongside technical guidance on British Standards, wiring regulations, and field compliance.
Episodes are scheduled for release fortnightly through to the end of the year. The platform serves as an accessible medium for tradespeople to stay informed about regulatory amendments, testing protocols, and best practices without needing to digest lengthy technical bulletins during working hours.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
While a podcast does not carry a retail price tag, staying aligned with technical commentary from industry bodies like NAPIT directly influences purchasing decisions at trade counters like Screwfix or Toolstation. As regulations evolve around consumer units, surge protection devices (SPDs), electric vehicle charging installations, and renewable energy integration, understanding upcoming compliance shifts prevents installers from buying obsolete stock. Electricians can avoid overspending on non-compliant distribution gear or incorrect cable ratings by ensuring their component choices align with current technical interpretations discussed by industry engineers.
Electricians and site installers should utilize industry technical podcasts as a free resource to keep up to date with BS 7671 updates and local authority building regulations, ensuring all installed hardware meets mandatory safety guidelines.
