Guys, sorry for the late reply on this.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for the advice.  I went with the dedicated radial which took me less time than I thought it would.  Customer happy (which is nice), i'm happy (which is nice).   All sorted, thank you very much. Kindest Regards Alan

Hi Dave.  Never heard that term before, so had to google it.   I am am pretty sure it is not a lollipop circuit.   There red is a ring down at the bottom Window (see photo, bottom left).  My idea was to run a 4 core SWA in to the conservatory, to maintain the ring configuration, with the added...

Life would be so much simpler without customers :facepalm: Customer now wants multiple sockets, so extending the ring is the way forward.  Question now is: Can I run both legs of the ring using a 4 core SWA using the armour as the CPC ?

Guys, thanks.  Went and had a chat with the customer today, and he is happy for the work to be done.  SWA all the way :)   Now I just need to brush up on Billy's step by step SWA termination post :)

1 double socket to run a 2Kw heater, and that is only going to be running till he gets the radiators fitted by the plumber.

My customer owns the whole building and rents the ground floor to the estate agents.

Guys, a little advice if you please. Customer has this conservatory (see picture) on top of the old coal shed (which is now a shop), attached to his flat.  He wants some sockets in the conservatory. Ground floor is an estate agents, first floor is his house.  Distribution Boards are in the...

Guys when you are having one of those days, it's always nice to pass on the daily head banger. So... Can I get this new ballast to work...  Can I heck as like. Could someone please have a look at these two and point me to how I wire this ****** up, because I'm just not getting it.  Osram...

We have had a few people who have worked in school that seem to use insulting tape for just about everything.   There are people out there, who are supposedly qualified and get away with it.   They do say what the eyes don't see, the heart don't grieve. Very poor Al

Guys......................... Thank you.   I was of the same mind as you all, but just wanted (for my own sanity) to catch up with some experienced thoughts. Thanks again :) Alan 

Guys We (the school where I work), have just had our fixed wire testing completed for this year.  The installation has been classed as satisfactory, but has a C1 observation of: There is no link cable between the two earth bars in the DB. So, because the earth to both sides is being provided...

Very neat :)

I work in a school, and some of the things they want me to do would make your toes curl. I hope you got it all in writing.

Guys thank you for your time and effort in responding to my request. In the end, it turned out to be easier than any of us thought. I managed to get hold of the guy who installed it, and he pointed me in the right direction (no pun intended).

Guys We have a Vent Axia linX window fan in one our offices. Does anyone know if it possible to reverse the flow of these fans, and if so, how !!!! Thanks Alan

Get a Canon. They use the Single Ink technology. Basically when one of the colours run out, you just buy that colour. The problem with everyone else, is that they use 3 colours in one cartridge. when one runs out, you throw away the remaining ink in the colour cardridge. We have dispensed...

Guys I thank you for your assistance. I have been, seen and done the job, and used the value given in the regs and on here :) so all should now be good :) Thanks for the advice, because its nice to get some pointers when you are a noob and worried you might make a right mess of it :D...

The Admin must be well good then :) :put the kettle on

Hey guys. This is a nice place. Have looked around some of the other forums, but they seem to be populated with an unfriendly element. Have read a few threads/posts and have found answers where they could not be found elsewhere. Setting out on my new job as a sparky, but at the wrong end of...

Thanks guys. It's a TNCs system. I dont want to hold up the job, so I was already working along the lines of what is says in the regs. I just wondered if anyone else was having a problem. Someone mentioned doing the test with everything connected, but its not something I have ever come...
