When you say its connected as a spur from the ring ,    are you saying there is actually a spur unit  with a 13A fuse in it  , at the start of the circuit ?   If thats the case  then you are restricted to 13A    which protects the 1.5 cable  from overload.   You could  certainly go with a...

We've answered this many times on here Mate   .....it is SO difficult TBH  .    See if you can trawl back & find previous threads on this . The hard bit is getting a start with a contractor / sparks  to gain practical experience  ....when the trade was busy busy  you'd have  probably got a...

The purists will tell you to rewire all the outgoing circuits  ................I don't think many do that TBH  .     1000 yrs ago as an apprentice  I was told you must'nt have joints anywhere  by a spark ...he had some aversion to them .        Then another sparks points out to me that the whole...

I can only offer  the following .    Two MK  RCD  sockets  on a stage used for amps etc .      My RCD tester knocked them both off every time .     No idea why .  

18th edition is the current regulations .    Are you a design engineer  , consultant engineer  or a working electrician with a tool kit and a van. ?   What does NARIC  mean by the way ?

Link not working .  Not sure about your cables to be honest   ...   when you say  two have one strand with no colour  .     You should have grey outer sheath  with  , in your case ,    perhaps  two black  /earth     and one  red/earth  .        ( Or new colours  ...two blue/earth   and  one...

I ordered a 9.5KW  Triton  replacement shower  for a customer .  Fitted it today .      The customer looks at the box & says  " I thought you were getting us a 9.5KW   ...that says 8.5KW  "     To confuse matters  the box was  actually  printed with  a large circle saying   8.5KW   on the...

Fine as long as the glass tube is't broken I guess .    Mercury switches  used in medical theatres  because of the switch arc igniting gasses .      How weird is that stuff ?   

My favourite is always when you open a fuseboard door  to find  ...Ct 1    "  Plugs in  Mr Brown's office "       Which was correct back in 1952  .    I get it at the printers I look after  ,   rooms & areas  have been changing  over the last 25 yrs  .    Machines have moved that often...

This is a long time ago but I distinctly remember him opening  a bench socket  and  commenting  there was only a pair of Red & blacks  passing through  and he expected a ring . He made a note and we moved on .   I wasn't even foreman on that one   but could see nothing wrong with it .  ...
