I've got to say, I'm not a fan of these. I have always used CK, since I was an apprentice but these new weird shaped screwdrivers I do not like. I bought a load of new old stock Senso+ (I think that's the ones, with the hexagonal handle) the last time I needed new ones but I'm not sure what to...

What I like about this is everyone saying you should just get rid of all the equipment instead of installing the correct cable. It is unlikely you will pull anywhere near 50A with a couple of racks. I have downsized mine recently but even with a couple of old Supermicros, a G6 and a few other...

I've got loads of it, seem to have hundreds of uprights and not many shelves though. Looks a bit tatty now, most of it has been replaced with nice new boltless stuff.

May need to, depends where the fire break is.

Possibly hairpin NAT on the office router, although later Drayteks have this rule enabled/setup I think. Could be DNS, so use IP instead to confirm.

So if 'send all traffic over VPN' is ticked and 'use VPN gateway' is unticked it works? Might be simply using the remote gateway and ignoring the local network. Could be as designed/not working the way you think it might. I'm not sure what you mean, what works? Traceroute gives you details...

just to clarify, the home PC and laptop, are they connecting over VPN too?

What phone? What VPN client? Is there an option in there to send all traffic over the VPN? Probably still using the default gateway. A traceroute should tell you where it is going.

This is the problem, there is a very large gap between the people doing the work and people making the rules. Some people seem to think there isn't and that we are working as one, we aren't. It is very much 'us and them' This is where it comes down to experience and risk assessing the...

This is why I don't really understand what they are trying to achieve, they say supplier earth, but PEN is not supplier earth. PEN is PEN, earth is earth.

The extra rod would only need to be TT levels of resistance, as in if you lost supplier earth your installation is now a TT. I assumed that was because of the above, all installations effectively now need to be treated as TT due to the rod and possible supplier earth failure protection. Not...

Huh? RCDs don't need an earth connection to work.

There you go, I knew you wanted to say that. That's not it at all. There is no way do you think that we (normal everyday electricians) influence anything in any BSI publication. If I/we would have added some feedback do you think they would have decided not to bother with certain parts of it...

Have you even got any idea what the 18th edition is, or what consumers means, or anything at all? Part p was supposed to stop consumers/DIYers and unregistered people doing electrical work. It didn't. How is a new version of the regulations going to make the slightest bit of difference?

I had a look, didn't read it in any detail. Why bother. Not going to make any difference, they haven't really listened to anyone before, and the last rounds of changes and amendments seem to indicate they are just doing what they want rather than getting together and fixing the industry.

What? In what context do you think I might have quoted it from? As in retire, or go underground?

Not really no.

Yes and no. It's not necessarily half each, some have a total load per all outlets, some have a standard and high power socket, or other combinations thereof. I think 'the norm' depends largely on where you are and what the local suppliers have. I struggle getting certain brands or items in...

If it really is 12.5 ohms, get them back.

I'd just be happy if people could USE THE CORRECT F'ING LANE ON THE M1 FFS.
