It’s all been going so well until now!!! 🤣

I’m not CPS yet, so want the plan approved by building control before commencing. I’d dread to think what feedback I would have received if I’d given them this!

Thank you, very useful feedback.  I suspected what I was proposing was untypical as the parts were not as easily available. I’ll feed back that it would be unwise to link an underpowered generator to a variety of loads, potentially for hours on end.  I’ve had similar feedback from a colleague...

What are your thought on the Heger changeover din switches? The larger ampage unit takes four spaces.  i was thinking of the top CU taking a feed straight from the main Switch, as you would an RCD, then running that route into the RCD, bus at etc.   

- Your right about the 17A socket. I spotted that typo and forgotten to update it. No need for the snark though, I’m after constructive feedback! 😉 thanks for your advice everyone.  - the neutral earth link would be made in the cable only as advised (I believe) on the NICEIC tech pages, so...

thanks guys. My reference to newbies being torn a new one was not only from this forum, but a general sense across several I've seen recently. I think in most cases it was down to the individual trying to do something they were not competent to be doing and asking REALLY fundamental questions...

Has anyone used a Heger SFT DP changeover switching fitted directly on the DIN rail in the consumer unit rather than using a separate changeover switch enclosure for installing a portable generating set in a fixed (domestic) installation? I am trying to find a solution for limited space in the...

Hi everyone! I thought I'd introduce myself as a newbie to both this forum and noble profession... After 25 years in an Operations Manager role in a large corporation I was made redundant last year 🎉. To be honest it was most welcome as it allowed me to try something new.  I retrained* as an...
