    TRP on Megger 1553

    i suspect a N-E fault on the boiler circuit.these faults can really upset RCDs. sometimes they trip when any load is applied, not always on the RCD protected circuit/s.sometimes they inhibit the RCD from tripping even on the test button. a thorough investigation of the boiler circuit is my call.

    Hello, and an apology

    might be located within the + terminal assembly on the battery itself. failing that, a fuse/relay box in the engine compartment.

    SWA junction box

    galv boxes will rot over time. I prefer wiska boxes using their bespoke gland plates.

    MR16 Halogen spotlight to GU10 LED conversion

    if the downlight fitting has an earth terminal, then connect the cpc (earth wire) to that. if not, just leave it terminated in the junction box.

    reset an old gardtec alarm

    the engineer code should be the same as it was before.  as long as it does not start with a 9, the codes can be reset. also, engineer tamper alarm reset can be disabled. tomorrow evening i'll try and root out the tech data to do this. i've forgotten it.

    Any opinions on this ?

    just put it on the cert. as a deviation, with the reason that being in an outside meter box, a metal CU would be liable to corrosion.

    Incorrectly wired RCD

    Lights dimming 😕

    could be a large load being switched on fed off the same sub-station, causing a brief drop in supply voltage. e.g. motors etc. in a nearby workshop/garage.

    20A DP Switches

    personally, I'd feed the grid switches with a dedicated radial 4.0mm on a 32A MCB/RCBO. keep the heavy loads off the RFC.

    What diameter cable for these heaters please?

    OK. look at app.15 in BS7671. spur from ring final circuit. fuse down at socket that you're coming off, (13A), then a single 1.5 mm to heaters. D/P neon switch for each heater.

    What diameter cable for these heaters please?

    TBH, judging by your posts, I don't think you have the knowledge and the equipment to ensure a safe installation. I'd consult a local spark.

    What diameter cable for these heaters please?

    as above. need more info. are you asking what size flex for each heater, or fixed wiring? answers on a beermat.

    House alarm c & k security C023-203

    seems like battery is U/S and the ext. sounder is going off under it's own battery. as Geoff says. and if you post your rough location, a member may be close to assist in resetting codes, if it can be done.
