Did you purchase their cloud database add-on? It seems that thats an additional service you have to purchase if you want it (sound like @Murdoch would not....) and otherwise it uses a database file on the local machine. I downloaded the demo version just to see how it works, and if you go to...

Whats happened to the main copy of the files, is there any chance thats recoverable with some work if the backup proves to be unobtainable?

The other one thats interesting (and looks a bit more upto date, laout wise) is https://grid.iamkate.com/ Also check out national grid's carbon intensity forcast: https://www.carbonintensity.org.uk/ and interestingly someone has used the same data to make the should I bake forcast...

Its an interesting one, I can think of a few sites that are TT with Ze values of less than 5 ohms, often a lot lower, due to the amount of steelwork in the ground. Some of these were installed under the 16th edition and fault protection is via an MCCB equiped with an earth fault protection...

And where does it store your certs? on your online account?, rather than locally on your pc / mobile device? We use castline formfill, and that just stores the data in .txt files locally

I thought this was a desktop application which stored certs/reports locally?

https://agileprices.co.uk/?region=B It's a little towards the high end of the scale, but not excessive by any means, I've seen higher recently (last cold snap end of November) My highest unit price today is 33.6p which is a tad more than those on the variable tarrifs, but the rest of the day...

My bet is on the pullcord switch if the issue has suddently developed, the vibration from switching has likely caused a conductor that was never tightened properly to loosen further

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-osmosis Its supposedly based on the fact that a small DC voltage can interfere with the capilary action of damp but its contraversal, some folk will swear by it, others say its snake oil. Its a similar thing to that used for active cathodic protection, so I...

Another point......Is the spray both classed as a hazardous area under DSEAR?

The fact that the consumer unit is plastic would not, on its own cause an EICR to be unsatisfactory, there could of course be other issues (inc. with the consumer unit that would result in an unsatsifactory outcome)

Prefer @kerching 's rants tbh...

Starting from the begining. What you are terming a part P certificate is actually a building regs conpletion certificate. These can only be issued by A) the LABC themselves, B) An alterative private sector building control organisation doing the same function, or C) one of the electrical...

Nothing wrong with it, but you've probably not got the most efficient design. Consider that your feed cable is not opperating at capacity, and therefore temperature, theres a calculation you can do for a corretcion factor to volt drop, may allow you to go down a size. Consider also, if you...

Just reading the news, one article about a stuck train on elizabeth line in London due to overhead line fault, then these side stories to it caught my eye: AND https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12841073/elizabeth-line-train-trapped-***-predator.html

What rating is the MCB? If 32A then the situation as you describe would be wrong Those cables are probably circa mid 60s. Imperial sized cables were used upto somewhere around 70/71 but at somepoint they stopped tinning it, which was a hangover from rubber insulation and they realised no...

Who told you that, they are non compliant with the current regulations and have been since 2015, but in the absence of other issues there is nothing compelling replacement of them EICRs are either unsatsifactory or satsifactory (not pass/fail) [sorry, pet hate] Any C1 or C2 issues would cause...

Do you have a 32A cooker circuit on your fuseboard. (Pictures if unsure) If you do, you then need to find where in the kitchen the other end is. (any cooker switch above countertop?) It may have been extended to that ad hoc arrangement in some kind of (likely not great) way

I'm reminded of the Monstrosity of Great Luminosity by that picture: https://www.bigclive.com/hamster.htm

Pull the cables a bit (switch off first to be safe) and there will be a connnector block tucked up there, it should have been mounted on the pattress that you have to ask for separatly. What make are you replacing with?, and note Daves comments about not mixing and matching (I bet it is linked...
