When changing (updating) a domestic consumer unit how do you isolate in the incoming supply tails to allow you to do it? Do you have to remove the fuse from the cut-out?

Hi. I'm a domestic electrician. I qualified a couple of months ago and now i'm registered with NICEIC. Everyone on this forum has been really really helpful since i've been on here and have offered some great advice and support, no matter how basic or complicated the question :Blushing ROTFWL

Unfortunately not headbang

ANOTHER bathroom extractor fan related question ROTFWL The bathroom light (which the extractor fan is to be wired into) is fed from a junction box in the attic (which has various cables being fed to and from it). There are 2 wires feeding into the light from the junction box - 1 into switch...

Will the 110v radio then need a 3 pin lead to plug into the transformer?

I'm looking into buying a dewalt radio. The radio i'm after is available at 110v or 230v. Am I right in saying that the 230v radio can be plugged straight into an extension cable but a 110v radio would need to be plugged into a transformer?

What about putting tiles back on the wall?

This might sound like a real simpleton thing to ask but is it difficult to remove bathroom tiles? And then reattach them? I just haven't done it before :Blushing

I'm installing a through-the-wall bathroom extractor fan (on a timer) next week and i'm curious about one thing - What the best / easiest way of getting the feed to the extractor fan itself i.e. behind the tiles on the exterior bathroom wall?

One final final question! :P Is 1.5mm 3 core and earth suitable? It's just that the isolator fan paperwork seems to suggest that 1.0mm should be used.

Thanks guys. 3 core and earth from light to isolator then isolator to fan it is then! :)

Just to get this right guys - If taking the feed from the light to the 3 pole isolator switch, do you use 2 core and earth (switch live and neutral) or 3 core and earth (live, switch live and neutral)?

Hi Guys, I'm looking at buying a through-the-wall bathroom extractor fan kit - Does anyone have any suggestions as to which are the best to go for?

Thanks green hornet. I'm still not 100% confident on the testing procedures but i'm sure it'll become clear when I do it ; \

All the required tests once the alarm has been installed. What exactly do you mean when you say the supply is tested? There aren't any tests included in the literature. What test is actually carried out - Polarity?

Hi guys - I'm just after a wee bit of expert knowledge :D When installing an intruder alarm which electrical tests are carried out? Is it just the same as with all other new circuits?

I'm in the same predicament as yourself leccyman. :D I've just recently qualified as a domestic installer and only this week passed my NICEIC domestic installer assessment. I originally looked into going with a firm first to gain some experience before going it alone but to be honest there...

Thanks guys :)
