    Oh   I thought that bloke ,  Joseph of Arimathea   hid it in King Arthur's  fuse board in Glastonbury   :C

    Compact RCBO's in this?

    I'm sure a man of your calibre would tidy that rat's nest up Murdo  !    Obviously it WILL take RCBOs  .

    Any ghost stories for Halloween anyone ?

    I thought we'd done this before  Dave .  I had one similar ,   started to rewire an empty house  on  a Monday   ,  Apprentice was at day release  .    Feeding cables through floor  I felt someone behind , in the doorway , looking at me .       I thought he'd turned up and was about to try...

    Just a thought that crossed my mind... (45A)

    I'd say it they chose an average current capacity  to suit average  cookers  .     Remember cooker plates & elements are constantly switching on/ off with  their stats . As said above  ,  10A   light switches   and  20A  DP switches ...  would cover  the different types of load switching...

    This has to be Bull shine ...surely not real ?

    Looking on Youtube  ,    it shows an American black guy,  in his 30s ,   who is about to  listen ..for the first time to  Chuck Berry singing Johnny B Goode   in a 1958 video .   " Hey man  who was this dude  "  he says   .  etc etc     Oh come on ,  what planet  has he come from ?  Utter BS...

    EV Homecharger question

    If its a TNCS system  they need to install a rod anyway don't they  so why worry about the Ze  ?     Wonder why don't they just install the chargers with the  rod free PME gizmo fitted  ? This Chargemaster firm should be doing all that ,  not dropping it onto you .

    The Good Old days eh ! I think not .

    You 've reminded me of an anecdote  from Bob the Breakdown .       I worked with him at two different firms  then did all his installations when we were all self employed .   Before I met him  he worked for a large building contractor in the city on electrical maintenance  .       They phoned...

    One of those blue ones with a leverage curved bit  ?          Totally useless.  !!

    The Good Old days eh ! I think not .

    I passed a factory last week and remembered  doing a job there .     Long since changed ownership  , it was the Cheney factory years & years ago, making luggage locks, suitcase hinges  stuff.  Trying to keep this concise  & not boring everyone .     It is typical  of what happened back...

    ranting rant

    Convector heater motor cuts out.

    EICR

    All this faffing around   ....as usual for this country ,  it all becomes sooooooo complicated  .   Why didn't they just come in with ..." After this date  ALL rented property MUST have an EICR  in place ."   .  I wonder if the gas reg  is as complicated .       Mc12    do you think the...

    Convector heater motor cuts out.

    That was my thought when I read it .    Squirt of WD40  at the ends of the rotor  .    As Dave says ,  the fan speed keeps the element from overheating .

    Garden Lighting

    I think this is your best option too   .

    Voltage drop. Would you be concerned?

    Thats what I was thinking .     32A   is a lot of current in an outhouse ,   sounds over designed to me .          I've seen overkill  with 16mm cable to a shed with a light & a plug for the mower.

    Garden Lighting

    Cable underground should be armoured .    Are you fitting the lights around the garden ?
