    Opinions please RE: Current demand & diversity for 5 bedsits / flats.

    Each flat will have its own heat and smoke detectors but they are also protected with a detector from a grade b ld2 fire alarm system.

    Opinions please RE: Current demand & diversity for 5 bedsits / flats.

    they'll have gas central heating. The agent wanted me to quote for panel heaters too until I told her how much they were and how much to run them and she was dead against storage heaters and economy 7 for some strange reason. The building has gas supply and it has 2 single phase supplies at...

    Opinions please RE: Current demand & diversity for 5 bedsits / flats.

    I just need some opinions for calculating my demand. I've put my estimate in for a building which is to be converted into 5x Bedsits/flats. Each one of the unit is to have the following Shower - 40A circuit, 10mm, 9.5kw. Cooker - 32A circuit, 6mm, 6kw. Sockets - 32A circuit, ring final...

    Looking to train as a Domestic Electrical Installer with OLCI

    to be honest, all training centres are the same.....it is a business like everything else and they are there to make money as are we. As for the 13k debt and Olci ruining your life, that is unfortunate and I feel for you, I really do but when you signed up you'll have signed a contract to...

    Zs testing

    I always test Zs where it is safe and practical to do so. Aslong as your safe on GOOD step ladders, not stretching so as to unbalance yourself and are using probes to GS38 then testing at ceiling roses is possible also....IN MY OPINION (before someone jumps down my throat about HASAW or EAWR...

    EICR codes

    I would Code C3 it as recomend improvement and state in the Observation section 8 that although not a requirement of 7671, Part P regs state 300mm from any sink or hob etc. I'm still getting to grips with these new codes too tbh.

    Use of the 45amp circuit

    If you are simply wanting to use the existing 6mm or probably 10mm (as it is on a 45A cpd) circuit to convert to a socket outlet then yes you can do this although you will find it hard to terminate 6mm into a socket let alone 10mm!! The fuse or circuit breaker is there purely to protect the...

    What Van

    I had a Transit connect which was a great little van but in January I upgraded to a Vauxhall Vivaro on an 07 Plate. I heard all the stories about gearboxes and fuel system problems etc etc but as said above, you have to go on what you want and what suits you. Transits for me are a bit...
