The owner told me that he had added sockets to the circuit in the past, but i believe they are spurs off spurs from what he told me. Thats why i did not want to touch the existing.

I have been asked to install a new ring main and lighting in someones kitchen, which is getting a re-fit. All legit and above board through building control etc. I do not want to accept responsibility for the existing installation circuits, that have been worked upon by the home owner. My...

I did not get U/U out. The owner of the property did. I was just sent there to have a look at it, not to modify it in any way shape or form. Where i am coming from is that i was expecting to find a nicely set of main intake as per the diagram in the on site guide, but what i found is what i...

Sorry guys but am i not being clear. From the neutral service connector block there is a neutral going to the consumer unit as well as the single earth

Yeah thats what is there. Phase tail going into service fuse. Neutral into service connector block and then a very small earth single from this neutral connector block going to a small C/U

There is two cables going to the service head if thats what you can call it. To me it just looked like the fuse holder part of the service head, where the phase went to and next to that there is a tail block where the neutral went to. There was a really small earth coming from this tail block...

I was asked to find out why some sockets were not working on a temporary board today. I plugged my socket and see in and it came up with a N fault. The install looked rough to me but it is the first time i have been to a TT so i was a bit unsure. The supply neutral was seperate from the...

A rating label is located on the underside of the unit, which includes the model name, kW rating and the manufacture date code (ACCEPTABLE FOR WARRANTY REGISTRATION). Inside the unit there is a further product-rating label, which has the same information and also the serial number.

About a year old but god knows where the receipt is. The strange thing is that today i was sent to a job and they had an opal shower aswell and the same thing was happening. Whilst it was happening at the job i was on you could also see the bathroom light dimming every time it happened

My Triton Opal 2 has started to mis-behave. Sometimes when you take a shower it goes really hot and sometimes you hear a click as if it is switching internally and then it goes cold. The low pressure light does not illuminate to indicate a problem there. The cable is more than adequate to...

My boss is a tight git and questions with justification everything i do if he has to spend any money. I would have just liked to justify what i was doing in black and white

Can anyone tell me if there is a minimum size required for the earthing conductor on a TNS system or do you just verify it`s adequacy using the adiabatic equation. Many thank`s

Could you clarify what you mean by duty rating? Is this info in the BRB? The board on the left did indeed have cartridge fuse in these were 1361. The MCB was a 60898 with a 3KA rating

http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy57/screamingskull/7.jpg I have a periodic to write up and am struggling with a few items and was wondering if you more experienced kind people could help me out. I can`t remember what the KA rating for rewireable fuses are. Is there a type number for...

Thank`s for the replies. I am unable to join the select group Evans Electric as i no longer work there. I am just finding it harder and harder nowadays to find employment with just basic domestic experience.

What i mean is: if someone asked me to install a specific piece of equiptment such as a door entry system or sustained emergency lights or a burglar alarm for example. How do you know what you need in terms of materials, Cable type etc. Where do you run your cables to? Like a haynes manual but...

Hi everyone, i am just after a little bit of advice really. I have been in the trade for about 6 years and have only ever worked for firms that carried out bog standard domestic installs, mainly housing association work. Well almost, but i was not very often one of the select group getting the...

Hi all, could someone clarify for me what the reference method is for a twin and cpc cable, clipped direct to a wall. I have looked in the regs and was edging towards C20 but am a little unsure. Many thank`s

Hi seajayess, my dog cut his pad once so i wrapped a clean dry cloth around it as it was really bleeding. It was a friday night and i was going out on the lash. I woke up on the couch on the saturday morning and the dog was in the living room with me and there were bloodstains all over my nice...
