That looks safe... 😯

Let them try... Ask them exactly where it is written you'll be breaking the law.

I found it really useful. We went a lot more in depth into the regs but on how to interpret and apply them rather than just the standard 18th edition exam of finding them and sticking down the answer. The actual design aspect I didn't find difficult at all. The exam was two hours of pain and...

That's why I try to fit them out of reach, ideally in the loft near the fan.

Funnily enough, so have I and it does work well. Back to the OP, I've found a little bit of housekeeping after a shower often helps, squeegee down the walls or use something like a Karcher window vac to remove excess moisture that accumulates on walls. I live in a mid-terraced house and damp is...

IR done with accessories fitted?

An excellent question I would like to answer... 🤣

Unless you use a Megger and there's the option for the MFT to do it for you... 🤣

Are there any extraneous conductive parts that require bonding in the garage? Water/gas/steel frame etc If no bonding is required then I would consider maintaining the supplied earth to the garage. I wouldn't provide RCD protection for SWA unless 30mA RCD is required for additional protection...

I'm surprised things didn't go wrong much earlier, you have more than likely overloaded the outlet which is causing your problems. Looking at what you have running I would suggest you employ and electrician to take a look at the existing set up you have, don't be surprised if they recommend and...

Polarity is wrong and the earth seems to have been chopped very short. As the earth isn't connected please do not try and operate this shower until it has been connected and the cables are installed correctly, red to brown and black to blue. Is there RCD protection for this circuit?

Although the DIN rail, the bit the MCB/RCBO mounts onto, is a standard design the internal layout of the DB does vary between manufacturers. The poistion of the clamps that secure onto the busbar can vaary by a couple of mm which means the device will not be securely terminated with a potential...

It may be down to how the PS5 power supply works, at a guess it's a switched mode supply. It also depends on the sine wave output type of the UPS. A PC draws a lot more current than the PS5 and the UPS will be more stable at higher demand, can you add another load to the UPS when the PS5 is...

I agree but I might have missed the bit in the book that said 'except sheds', yes I know, application of common sense etc.

If the cables are in trunking them they don't need additional ties. However you need to support them in case of fire to prevent premature collapse, this is often achieved using all round band/fire clips/metallic ties/buckle clips etc. TBH there's several ways of achieving this, the cable only...

Who spends 2 hours in Tesco? 15 minutes maximum if I have to go there in the first place... 😂

I use the cable size from the OCPD that supplies the circuit. If a spur has been run off in a different sized conductor I make a note of this on the certificate and also the circuit chart. The smaller conductor must be sized to avoid risk of overloading it so either an FCU or socket-outlet...

Looks like there might not be a second season as Patrick Stewart can't get insurance to work due to his age and the pandemic.

I found Cry Trek Diversity had so much potential but was ruined by very poor writing with too much effort put into trying to represent minority groups. The story line for season 3 didn't even make any sense not helped by people bursting into tears every five minutes, with space Jesus being...

The Expanse (second time of binging on this) Vikings The Last Kingdom Breaking Bad The Ozarks The Punisher (fine for a bit of mindless violence with no real story)
