You are quite correct Andy, there is an isolator between fuse and old CU, so no need to pull fuse.

Excellent, and probably true Applaud Smiley

How true, seriously though, it's hard to believe what has been done there.

I like em' they always seem to be around when you need them;) Oh, by the way, it's time for your tablets and off to bed specs

Thanks guys, this property has been chuffing along with these tails for 25 odd years. Low demand property I would say. 1 30A Ring 1 30A Cooker 2 5A Lighting 1 15A Immersion Don't think I'll be fighting to change them if I get the job!

Always screw it, then caulk the gap between wall and trunking, never goes anywhere and looks a neat job.

Just been to see a job, quite knowledgable lady actually, asked me to price for new CU and Bonding upgrade, her words, not mine. Anyway I digress, current CU is some three or four meters away from head, which is in an external cabinet. Lord knows how the tails arrive at the CU but they do, and...

I think you're spot on Steps, Building Regulations are a Statutory document. It just so happens that one of the requirements of the Building Regs is to comply with 7671, but if they say not, do it their way, note it, and get them to sign for the deviation.

Very droll, the long winter nights must fly by in your house.

Comes down to good workmanship I guess, as long as you assess the risks as no two situations are the same.

Agree, it goes back to those immortal words in the EAWR "so far as is reasonably practicable"

I,ve been following this thread with interest. My understanding of the bonding requirements for extraneous conductive parts, is, any part that is liable to introduce a potential, which as someone correctly stated earlier, would be oV, requires bonding to the MET. The sole reason for this...

Calculation, or you'll be up all night

Correct, only Part P Approved

As a Welshman, living in England all I will say is this. WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE PATCH] :) Have now changed flag accordingly, even though I've been in England for yonks

Only thing I can spot is the ref. methods. They dont allow for insulation < or > 100mm. Other than that, looks good

I had to read it twice, and I wrote it. Can't leave you guys a slightly open door:D

Correct me if i'm wrong, but the readings you are getting would suggest that the phase conductor is at zero potential, given that the L-N potential differance is 240v this would seem unlikely. Unless of course you have reverse polarity on the DNO side, which would account for zero potential...

I have a three year old cocker who has just started to sneeze on a regular basis, coupled with blowing sharply through her nose as if trying to clear something. We are not using any different cleaning products or anything like that and are baffled by this. There is no nasal discharge and her...

And I worry!
