relevant size PEB to main earth terminal (earth block), then main earth to each CU. if in same property

there wireless radio transmitters and recievers. would interfernce affect all five heaters at once though. One of the heaters had seemed to be okay, so i put the rest onto that zone- they all stayed on for slighlty longer than normal. if you turn the mains switch on at each heater they seem to...

evening all got a job on at the moment, a flat, where theres a problem with a wireless/ radio control unit which controls 5x heaters, immersion heater and a towel warmer. the 5x heaters are spured off various ring circuit but activated by a radio signal from timer control unit, bit like this...

depending on what kind of light fitting they are, heat can be a huge factor too

Even if it was okay to reconnect circuits with such low IR readings, surely you just setting yourself up for him to call you back when it trips? Never reconnect and leave a circuit with low IR! Spend an hour or so trying to fault find the problem and see if you can get some lights back on...

In your original post you said you'd tested between L-E and there was nothing there? Does this mean the cable has a CPC but is not connected to earth due to a fault/previous bad workmanship? If so then surely its worth trying to fault find? theres always a JB with loads of twisted together...

even if the light fittings are class 2, you still need to run an earth in the cable if 230volt to protect the cable (C.P.C) so you cant use 2 core

i've just done a job at a museum using a 'rope' of LED's. there not great! they look nice when fitted but dont look like they'le last long at all. what about something that fits onto the cieling, but not fully recessed?

perfect example of why to do a perfect test report, not been able to prove the o/s wasnt your work would be tricky without it. i think if you put number of points on each circuit it covers you enough with your results, certs take long enough without having to do a location diagram. i would...

i would lift the boards and extend cables under floor with through crimps. As said before, its a permanent joint and by doing it that way you can move the socket anywhere without worrying about zones.

totally agree with you, the Napit certs are crap. entering the date for live and dead tests drives me mad! i made my own on excel, with the help of some of the downloads on here. took me a long time, but so much easy and neater, look really proffesional when done on computer i think

Yeah sorry i meant High pressure sodium. Thanks for your help

Hi all. How much inrush current can you expect from a HPS light fitting? Is it 1.8 times the normal running current? cheers

Have you done Ins res tests on all switch wires to earth? Dont forget you need to switch both switches to test both sides of 2way switch circuit

My toolbox has got a massive crack in it from standing on it. Been too stingy to buy one for weeks but being meaning to try one of those stanley ones. Got a ck bag but just can't seem to get on with it.

I thought that watchdog was disgraceful. Not only did they fail to mention anything about part p, they also failed to mention anything about any relevant regulations like circuits needing to be rcd protected. Although the two guys where clearly ripping people off there was some truth in what the...

My names Matt, recently gone self employed and this forums been really helpful. Normally i would have asked someone i worked with, but being on my own i now look on here or post a thread where i get more than one helpful opinion. Cheers everyone!

steptoe, im no tory hater, just saying what that report said. Its about whats gonna happen in future. All these cuts may be a good thing, might lead to shortage of work in short run but tories/lib dem not messing about like labour. Hopefully this will sort it out soon enough. Stay pozi!

You wouldn't need to crimp twice though. Once to send the cable to the extension, then the return cable would be into the original socket terminals

Heard some bad news im afraid! Mate of mines a chartered surveyer, he says there office has been given a big expensive report thing which reviews and predicts about recision and construction. Basicly he said the report suggests a double dip recesion is to happen in the industry and things are...
