If you've been working as an electrician for 10 years then surly you have a rough idea of rates of pay??? Jib apprentices get more than £8 an hour!!! Is this a wind up, surley it is!!!!

Sorry KME I mis read he does indeed say 3 phase, my bad. I would still say these 2kw fittings are 400v though. We do some work on 5 a side pitches and the 2kw metal halide fittings are 400v. All the ballasts and igniters are usually in the bottom of the posts aswell due to the shear size of...

2000w sports lamps are 400v these lamps will run off 2 phases that's why no neutral. How would a 240v piece of equipment work with no neutral. All sports ground lighting I have worked on is 400v lamps, igniters and ballasts. You've already stated you have 2 phases going up each pole but no...

I think your worrying far far too much. I bet your installs are expensive compared to everyone else with galv tubing in a domestic dwelling these days. It's a ceiling, no doubt about it, it's original install and you've put rcd's on circuits. Call me a cowboy but I wouldn't lose any sleep over...

Jesus wept that's disgracefull!!!!

You talk utter tripe!!! Go butcher some wood!!!!

Sorry if this comes across funny but do you really need to ask such a question on an Internet forum! Firstly people don't know anything about your install, what the room is used for etc. I've mounted dado at all sorts of heights!!! Ask the designer whoever that may be. If its you, then ask...

Cable run on/in what? Outside? Inside? Not a big load.

You will be awarded electrician grade if they won't recognise your 2391. This is needed along with 2 years experience to be graded as approved. Nice quals list though!!!!

Ring them, you done an AM2?

Well Lucky or stupid!!! you decide!!! No sympathy for him really! Yeah blame the company, easy way out i reckon,but surly he should of read, understood and signed method statements and risk assessments if he was an outside contractor for northgate. First think I'd want to prove to myself was...

I'd bet my house there is not a high pressure sodium ballast and igniter in that fitting!!!!! If you screw a son straight into that you'll put mains voltage direct onto the son lamp and it won't like it put it that way! Steptoe the second link is the new 'energy saving' halogen version of the...

Unless your going to stick a 100w ballast and igniter in the fitting aswell a son lamp will not work, although it would come to full brightness gradually as it warms up lol

Amazing!!!! Words fail me sometimes!!!

Why bother sleeving it if your putting a sticker on???

Good news in these times, just shows what impressions can do for people. Good luck in the future, take any extra training you can aswell, ipaf, pasma, ecs etc. it all looks good on the old cv. Once again well done, these opportunities don't come along often. Grab it and run I say!!!!

I have never seen an aircon fitter put a FCU between indoor an outdoor unit! If it needs working on then they just throw the rotary isolator which is usually mounted on condenser unit outside!!!!

I'm lost for words!!!!

Passed level 2 and 3 in what? If you've passed level 3 why do you want an apprenticeship!!!! But as said above non of this makes any sense really as you state your 17!!!!!!

Can you not notch joists aslong as covered with an earthed metal plate? The last joist closest to the wall often has to be notched as the cables cannot feed round the back and up the wall??? Not that I personally do much if any domestic work, I hate the bloody places!!!!!
