This post, from two years ago, was dragged back out by someone who was not bothered enough to start his own. I informed the customer of my concerns and advised that he instruct the makers to redo the electrics. I don't think he did though. Their product looked far better than the testing...

Ahaa. An actual measurement I couldn't give you as I didn't take it but when I was holding the cpc it felt small. ; -)

Sorry Sidey, I have just re read the threads and can't see what questions have gone unanswered. Could you clarify please? From my perspective I thought I had offered all the details of the situation very early on. I found 80 v between a cpc and the earth conductor. From that I asked could such...

Lol. No you won't.

Fair enough.

Admin, I did not bypass a swear filter, please do not tar me with the same brush as that person. In the first post I asked if 80 volts could be generated by self induction? Does this make me any less competent than the people who have replied to the post without offering an answer. For those...

I did say the voltage was with respect to earth. That does imply between the cpc and the earth. In which case the cpc must be disconnected from the earth. Why is that so hard to work out for you?R1r2 ws correct. As I said in the op the voltage is between the cpc and earth. Two separate things. I...

Picture the scene. Large ish house, 2 consumer units, one each end. Supply comes in from meter cabinet to henley blocks. At this point it splits to the two boards. Earthing conductor comes in to the first board. As it turns out it then goes out to the second board. Also in this first board is...

Spec Loc,

More advice sought please. During testing yesterday I found 80 volts on the cpc of a socket ring with respect to earth and neutral. TT installation. Ze, tested using multimeter was 92 ohms. Ring continuity was correct, r1r2 was correct, IR was clear at 299M. All items were unplugged, 3...

Thanks all, In order, Andy. I must admit, I've never noticed two ratings on a fitting as you suggest. Also, it's a class III fitting (as labelled on it) but they've exchanged the MR16 lamp holder for a GU10. M107, I'll try to get a copy of that. ProDave Do they generate that much less...

Evening all, Please bear with me here! Can anyone offer some advice regarding the installation of downlights in a wooden ceiling.  A customer has had a bespoke summer house installed, I was tasked with providing the electrics which I attended to install today. On arrival it transpired that...

Some weeks back I posted on here about a dodgy service head I had discovered, http://www.talk.electricianforum.co.uk/topic/22494-todays-find/ Well the customer contacted WPD who sent someone out, I don't know any detail on age etc but he was reluctant to interfere saying it all looked ok. He...

Fair enough, I can see your point. As I say I'm not a businessman but, How about a website that required you to enter a scam membership number in order to place an order. Since these boards (appear) to be aimed at the domestic market that should cover a lot more possible customers than a forum...
