    Another what code question.

    I would go with C3 - the interlink only has a max. potential of 9v, not 230v. Also, all smokies I've ever fitted are class 2, so no earth required. Interesting one...

    Builders are not always sharp

    ... the wrought-iron staircase will be painted black. :)

    Auto electrics !!! ....Auto electrics!..... Don't talk to me about Auto Electrics !!

    By far the most common fault on car electrics is a corroded earth connection. Try adding a jumper to chassis somewhere.

    Silly q

    However, we usually use the two-way terminal in the rose for the switched live and the three-way terminal for the neutral, contrary to what is pictured. ;)

    Something I've not come across yet.

    Am I missing (out on) something here? :P : ^O

    Taking the high jump from single to 3 phase in My mind.

    Naughty! But we all thought they were an item (and we were all jealous - she was a cracker).

    Taking the high jump from single to 3 phase in My mind.

    I will offer up a true story about a large(ish) extractor fan that we installed in our factory many moons ago. It won't help Zee in his decision but may give the detractors of large fans some food for thought. :) The factory was, effectively, a south-facing lean-to with a corrugated iron...

    Not Electrical, but this is why you should report that leaking toilet sooner......

    So it's a bit like grinding paste? Fine in the top, coarse in the bottom, then. Which end has the black? :P

    Electrical Installation Condition Report. Rights to isolate DB

    Mrs S, legal researchers earn a helluva lot more than sparks. You're in the wrong job! :)

    Well I never..................................

    My dads motorcycle reg. was JUL198 and he sold it for scrap in 1959. Young minds absorb all sorts of useless information, it seems. :Blushing

    Nice job. Where did you buy the black and white chequered paint?

    Bathroom extactor fan isolater. reg or good practice???

    I'm fairly sure that the manufacturers instructions state that the fan should be cleaned at least once a year because of buildup on the blades. What are you going to do, call an electrician to clean it?

    What about Hilmars?

    need some metal tubing

    Let me guess. You need to make something for one of your bikes - exhaust covers, maybe? - and you wanted the mangle to use as a bending roll. When I had my engineering business, we used to buy most of our tube from here although they used to be called Pipe and Tube Supplies Ltd in those days...

    Cats... scratching / shaking heads?

    As a person who shares their home with a cat, I know that cats are not Patches favourite animal but I agree whole-heartedly with his remarks above. Except for one. I don't agree with the term OWNERSHIP. The only reason for having an animal in your life is because you are happy to share your...

    TT earth systems versus TN earth systems

    No self-respecting pikey would nick the neutral and leave the live/line/phase conductor behind. And they'd probably nick the pole for firewood. Bit difficult, anyway, with concentric! :D
