So surely if its a sub main its nowt to do with DNO? are the meters with the isolators or within the flats?

Is this not a sub-main from below? If yes then nowt to do with DNO. If not and meters upstairs then just call them to check it out. Is it split concentric cable?

7x 1.5 = 10.5mm thats not the same size as the live. Dont think its a good idea to multipy 1.5 CCCap by 7. I dont like it and would fail it, but I would honestly struggle to give a real clear answer why! could you not use the earth 16m as neutral, then use the armour as earth? maybe with the...

bit harsh Zee! dunno if that OP really demenstrates such a serious lack of knowledge of RCBO testing I think 8 is the max number of PC's you can have on each circuit. However, as far as Im aware, this would be for a circuit with a high integrity earth. A normal ring circuit on an RCD would...

cheers guys. suppose i'll have to do it the old fashioned way and just price it myself rather than matching the price. Its a funny one, my freinds moved abroad so this designer types doing the house. He'd tried to completely put her off using me for any work and use who he suggested. Shes now...

haha found a few ooozingly expensive sights on the web. Think some people think because they look fancy they can charge big fancy prices.... speaking of fancy- Deke, thats exactly what im after. Think i may have located some today actually (some robus ones). How did you go about installing...

Hi all Can anyone point me in the direction of a manufacturer/online shop which sells small LED's to fit into some floor tiles? Ive seen loads of decking ones, kits etc. but none of these really seem appropriate. I need to fit 10 LED's into the floor tiles of a 7m2 bathroom, so quite large...

Hi Does anyone know what sort of markup an interior designer/architect would put on a tradesman bill to put in their final bill to the client? Is it around 30%? Im quoting a job for a friend, fancy high spec bathrooms. Shes given me the figure from the architect for the electrics estimate...

Unfortunately its more than likely who ever's done this work is qualified. Alot of the cowboys are. Its hardly difficult to blag onto a part P scheme, especially if its near enough automatic after a 5 week course. Apart from DIY'ers and people playing at spark, some of the worst work i've seen...

er how longs a piece of string? and how much is that length worth? depends on what make, type, condition, etc. too vague a question! how much did you get them for? with all that said i pay about 20-30 fror a decent make hager or MK etc

reg 434.2.1 page 75 (i) not exceed 3m in length, and (ii) be installed in such a manner as to reduce the risk of fault to a minimum judging by the 2nd part, probably not a good idea to have the cable plastered in or hidden in any way

Surely if you're putting an extra socket in this would need to be RCD protected? Somewhat hypocritical to code 2 existing sockets, yet install a new circuit and just note lack of RCD on the cert. I think I would still code 4 it, yet strongly recommend to the landlord one (or 2!) be installed.

yes. read OP!

definately up for the dilog clamp, just let me know how i go about ordering one with discount. kerching, i was reading a thread a few months old- mark said the forum price on one of these is

Meggermark, tried to send you a PM mate but you're inbox is full. Wondering if you still doing that deal on the earth leakage clamp meter? Also I'm looking for a clamp meter that can read how much current an installation is using over a set period, say a week. Don't wanna spend too much, but...

sent you a PM mate, think doc hudson right, may be too big for forum.

ive had this exact same problem before, fizzing from the cutout when any power used. My DNO has always been quite good, if you ring the emergency line and explain problem (maybe with some exageration) they normal book a visit within four hours, without arguing or trying to fob you off. On every...

Does look like only 1 phase and a neutral coming in. Its definately got 2 phases and neutral. I honestly cant remember how the cables are, one of them must be concentric cable or something. Anyway spoke to the right DNO department today (and several others) who confirmed its a 2 phase 40kva...

what size are the transformers? if you've got 5 lights on one transformer its possible there bieng overloaded. Also if the lamps are quite far away from the transformer this can be a problem you could just bypass the transformer, maybe replace with a JB. if youve got T+E to each light then...
