    Outbuilding Supply lookover

    I'm sure he said it's tripping the breaker not the RCD. I didn't look exactly at what the armoured in the house was wired into. It was into some kind of plug in adaptor, yet non of the armour was into it. Taking the load of equipment in the outbuilding, I'd need to reduce it by diversity but...

    Outbuilding Supply lookover

    I'm almost thinking I'm out too!...I think it's cellulose but not asked about that yet. With regards to the post about certification, the Contractor who has trained me past 3 years would be willing to certify as I've talked a little through with him but not in detail as I've not seen him...

    Outbuilding Supply lookover

    Will start by apologising if this is long winded. I subcontract as a Mate & don't normally do my own work, yet have been asked to look at tidying up a supply to an outbuilding. Would like some clarification on what I've done & if I'm right? Or where I've gone wrong... The outbuilding is...

    FCU for a Boiler

    Thanks for all the replies!!! Yeah, not how I'd have liked to do it but is the easiest and cleanest option without having a trailing boiler lead or YT2 across the tiles to a Spur. Would have been nice to split the ring on the original spur, make that a 20A DP Switch & have a new FCU next to...

    FCU for a Boiler

    Have been asked to supply a feed for a boiler. Now I'm aware of the Spur off a Spur, but wonder how this works?? Currently the customer has a switched FCU off the Kitchen Ring Final above the work top supplying a single socket for the washing machine. The wall is tiled and so to avoid damage to...
