Check out the hair dryer in that bath video on youtube
throws a hairdryer in the tub turned on and measure the amperage
something like 10 times thee amount that will kill you
He then dose it again via an rcd but this time he puts his arm in the tub aswell
“click” he says he did not feel...
so I thought I’d give the Niceic help desk a called and he said
correct there not in bs7671 therefore making them a departure from bs7671
if you want to use them then that’s up to you and it’s your responsibility for the safety of them
why why would I want to do something outside of my big...
Agreed, I’d stand firm that those well made wooden highly combustible wylex numbers are a fire hazard
potentially dangerous
“potentially ” is a also a dangerous word In itself
Potentially-with the capacity to develop or happen in the future.
Wow I’ve just been reading about the 7288’s
they were not included in the 18th at all
yet another huge debate!!!
ok so you have to fit 61008/61009 in order to comply now, I’m reading it loud and clear
I should have been a plumber
They really have caused a coding issue!
very mixed debate when you dig deep into it
Ive been told that a 40-50 year old 3036 board can remain safe in use but to code 2 that there is no Rcd socket near any external use
a first floor flat can therefore for be left without any Rcd protection...
So you can not add an Rcd fuse spur to a lighting circuit to overcome the “no Rcd” in a bathroom ?? 30ma is 30ma right ??
Im not having a go I’m questioning my own knowledge
To me it’s a C2 all day but that’s apparently not correct, it’s a huge debate, can’t quite believe it
You can add 1 x Rcd double socket near a front/back door and only recommended the full Rcd
After being an electrician for 26 years I have just found out that it’s ok to pass an installation without Rcd protection!
im gob smacked!!
everything I’ve ever learnt has just need thrown out the window
I’m now questions my knowledge as to what is going on
how can it be that the No.1 life...
