Under what 'Job Title' Sharpend?

I haven't worked on a building site for well over 10 years now, but with work drying up left right and centre, an up coming opportunity to work locally on a site that is going to go 'ballistic' due to housing association timetables, - completion of site by June 30 - sounds too good to miss. ...

Have got info now but will start a new thread Onoff, cheers :)

I came to this thread as I did a search for info on CSCS card... but couldn't help but read a wonderfully off topic thread! Regarding signing on etc, - it's recently occurred to me that perhaps I should do so, not because I expect any benefits, - my wife works for a start - but because, being...

If there's only a socket (or a flex outlet) fitted after the switch on the spur, then there's no appliance fitted? So how can you fit an engraved FCU if the consumer might fit the appliances a different way round? It would make the labelling wrong?

Do you have to take off your steel toe capped boots as well? :(

Yes ;) :innocent ---------- Post Auto-Merged at 22:02 ---------- Previous post was made at 22:01 ---------- Further to my OP: Well I've cleared it up, trainee was confused, the '6' that is always put down refers to the 6kA limit on breakers :slap

A couple of musings. Non labelling of an isolator could well be in compliance with an earlier edition of 7671, so part P would be satisfied, I suppose. But 7671 isn't the only regs that you can use to satisfy part p, you can use European regs for instance as long as the "Reasonable provision...

No that makes perfect sense Chris, thanks for the reply. I didn't think of TN-S systems, I pretty much only do stuff on PME so there's no difference on the 'Nature of Supply Parameters' obviously as N & E are the same thing.

Bit of an old thread to resurrect, - an enjoyable read though - but the suggestion appears to be along the lines that you'll have a separate driving test for Vauxhalls, another one for Fords, one for Hondas, in fact one for every different make of car. A SWA circuit will be banned because it's...

As others have said, it 'matters' because a) it's not to regs, and B) the circuit design of a ring is based on both legs of the cpc carrying the fault current.

Yeah, 6kA. Glad it's not just me then :P How can there be a difference on the 230v supply, of PSCC or PFC then Chris? (not worded that very well but it's late, sorry) Mark

Hi Guys, just a 'just wondering' type of question. When you fill out an EIC, on the PFC bit, what do you put down? I always use ohms law using the Ze and put down 0.6kA or whatever. Trainee I am seeing again tomorrow appears to be saying that he's been taught at college to *always* put '6'...

Ok Mate, you'll need 4 cores between the two PIR's then. Then take a 3 core from either PIR to the lights. You only need 1.5mm csa armoured unless it's a string of floodlights. Feed either PIR first, which one doesn't matter. Hope I'm not being too OTT with the 'how to wire it' bit? I always...

We moved house last year, the new (not brand new) property has a new(ish) boiler and a 17th edition board, customer had no certificates, LABC had no notifications, no it didn't stop them selling is the short story. LABC not interested, if they don't know for certain that the work has been done...

Well, when you say '3 core swa' I assume you are using the 3rd core as your CPC? If so then (for an overide) you'll need 4 cores to pir and 3 core from pir to lights, assuming you are using the PIR as a JB. (Or use an adaptable box adjacent to the PIR with a bit of flex feeding/sw L returning to...

Reading it through, I think the suggestion might have been to put a FCU at the point that the radial starts, and then you could keep it as a 32A ring?

New boiler now fitted. I retained the spark generator off the potterton (as it's less than 6 months old) if anyone needs one.

Well, I stripped it down, looked easy enough to undo and replace, but didn't have time to put too much effort into locating a spare/replacement one... in the meantime a potential buyer for my house came looking, spotted the age of the boiler, and offered the full asking price if I would fit (I...
