Hi Taffery, you will have a power in and a power out (loop) and a switch wire. Without test equipment it would be a case of trial and error to get them right. One of the black cables will be paired with one of the red to form the switch wire. Is there any marking on any of the black cables? If...

It does help to ask questions, I am sadly lacking that I have many

Hardly, one of the main aspects of becoming registered is the understanding of the regulations and how they effect the way you install. We all had to learn at some point and for many of us we are still learning. When I, and many members of this forum started out we had no instruction other than...

You have said that this joint is under the patio, crimped and resin filled? if so it is a suitable and acceptable method and does not even require a mention.

 If you read Section 2's definition switchgear (it takes time because it is lawyer talk) you will see that a contactor installed in a plastic enclosure would not be a contradiction of the regulations used in the way you describe.

Most of the scam providers like to see a monthly check done on your meters. There is not a requirement to have them formally checked each year unless the companies you test for require this as part of their quality control procedures.

@GeoffRCAs Pewter says yes it is possible. You could fit a contactor with a remote switch but this would require some indication devise for on/off so a neon switch or pull cord. You could terminate the 10mm cables into a DOL starter switch and even have a thermal overload rated at the showers...

Blue Duck has given you the best clue to finding out which earthing is supplied. misssweedens answer I can tell has gone right over your head. try to remember ( , )used in a sentence, good guide, for instance when you need to take a breath. ( . ) used at the end of a sentence. ( ' ) used...

So now we are gardeners? I hate it when people call them bulbs, it is my pet hate. I am not picking at you doormatt26, just quoted as your the last poster, the others are just as guilty. :Computer problem:

The new company I started with want me to do their annual assessments. They have found out that I argue the regulations :slap I remember writing to the NICEIC in 2006 asking them if they are going to assess me would they mind sending someone who is more qualified than I. I remember giving...

Well done and thank you for letting us know, they look pretty good as well.
