IF this is an elaborate scam the one of the biggest electrical wholesalers in the country has been taken in to such an extent they are recalling their own brand product, the possible brand damage with respect to this is unmeasurable. PLUS I have had the the regional sales manager confirm to me...

Only one comment, if you are ltd. you should avoid "tainting" your personal accounts with business transactions. If you "taint" them then HMRC can investigate your personal finances if they have any issues with the company affairs. IF they are not "tainted" they cannot. "Tainting" is putting...

OK, That switchgear is almost certainly MEM or Bill. Red/White/Blue was no longer an accepted colour combination in the regs since the 13th as of 1st August 1964 when it was replaced by yellow. So if the install was originally compliant the cable is coming up for 46 years old! It will be...

Try Dorman Smith, UK and fitted on recently and it was a nice piece of kit to be fair. Almost converted from MG & Hager.

binky, Commercial and industrial work must be done to BS7671 also, it must be designed constructed, inspected & tested to comply with EAWR89, PUWER98 & HASAWA74. In the intro to the 17th there is a statement from HSE saying that an installation designed to etc. would be expected to...

No NOT a silly question, you had a query and you posted for clarification. We all get our moments when we can't see the wood from the trees. Post first if you're unsure and most of us will try to help where we can. We'll not always agree on everything, and we can't give the definitive answers...

Hmm, There are many recorded events of "prey" or feed animals "getting their own back" as it were, many an inexperienced or foolhardy snake keeper has found this to their cost. We are no experts, hence the posts, but, we do know enough to ask around when we are unhappy, we've also tracked down...

Hi all, I have just received an official notification from one of my wholesalers by email sent 10:01 today with regard to the Wylex MCB's The web links as follows: http://www.neweysonline.co.uk/News-Electrium-Product-Recall/Static.raction & www.mcbexchange.co.uk/electrium Newlec...

Thanks Apache She is in a heated vivarium at the moment and has fresh water, temerature is around the 80 mark, it has a heat mat under part of the vivarium with a heat lamp also. We do warm the mice up. We have had a snake before and that one was a job to get eating when it came too, but this...

bengie, You can use any wire you like in any colour to comply with the statutory legal requirements of BS7671 as it is not a legal requirement to comply with 7671. End of.

Tom, What gs states as far as his status goes is irrelevant. The client wants to design part, or all of the work, thus they MUST sign for it. DI or anyone else should (cannot) sign for another

Tom, Maybe on DI cert (NICEIC) only one box, on full EIC (NICEIC or IET) there are multiple boxes. IF the customer wants to design aspects of the install, then they must be responsible for this, thus sign the cert in the appropriate locations. End of. BTW, it COULD be construed that a single...

As already suggested, however, IIRC MWC is NOT allowed for upgrading of main bonding. Single up front RCD is not good, especially in non domestic premises. Get landlord to sign design section of cert?...

NAHHHHHH, I have ONE customer with an incoming ACB, that's enough! The main switch / cb is 6m away from the 11kV sub. You can feel & hear the lectrickery!

I took the board to be an MCCB incomer with MCB outgoers? MCCB = Moulded Case Circuit Breaker. MCB = Miniature Circuit Breaker. Typical breaking capacity for MCB circa 10kA (max) Braeking capacity for MCCB perhaps 35kA. Little different! O) If you are interested look on the Schneider...

Hi all, My MD just suggested I post in case 'patch or anyone else has some advice! We have a 2 year old (approx.) corn snake. We had it from a friend of my daughters, including the vivarium, so she never "left" home! However, we cannot get her to eat! We have tried defrosted small mice, and...

Ah but, an mccb is an overload protective device. I don't believe that anyone on here has instruments sufficiently accurate to measure the Zs at a 1200A mccb to the required levels! You would need a 4 wire milli ohm meter or a ductor tester to get sufficiently accurate results! Well... As...

Sorry Guys, had to do it, just to widen awareness and remind everyone that 7671 is not the be all and end all! No bad feelings please!

Once you get to a PhD you dont get taught! :^O headbang

It was late! No copy of BrB etc. to hand. IIRC then there is a cut off at 32A for a change in disconnection times etc.? Paul
