The cupboard has got a door on it, however you really have confimed my suspicions that it should be notified. Thanks for all the quick replays fellas, much appreciated. ;)

Hi All, I have been asked to add a fused spur for a new shower pump which is located in an airing cupboard which is in turn located in a bathroom. I'm not yet sure if i can conect to an existing circuit in the cupboard or if I will have to run the spur from a near-by ring circuit. My question...

Okay, Thanks Andy. That also makes sense. Cheers:Salute

Hi Again Badger, great advice :) Do you think it would be okay to just use the Zs reading I got at the light and back through the 3a spur to the CU. The reason I say this is that the reading at the light was the highest, due to it being wired in 1.5mm T&E. The reading was .45 ohms at the...

Hi badger, Thanks for your reply, any Ideas about the other part of my question? Cheers!

Hi Guys, I have just added an outside light to an existing lighting circuit which is supplied by a 3A fused spur. Prior to doing this I made good and upgraded the earthing and main bonding. Also replaced a socket outlet which failed iR test on the ring supplying the above mentioned spur. The...

Hi All, I would like to thank all the members involved in this thread for the input and your various welcomes. I had not realised that my first post was going to stir up such friction between people, and frankly that's the last thing I wanted to do. There is enough trouble in this world without...

I like the idea of the beer but I am really worried about the kissing characters at the end of your message.

Hi Special Location, Please accept my apologies for misunderstanding your approach to my problem. I do fully agree that the way you were trying to get me to think about the problem, was indeed the best approach. I think the problem stemed from the fact that I am already reasonably comfortable...

Hi Steptoe, Sorry for the confusion. I have a TNCS system with an RCD on the meter tails prior to the CU and you are right it is the earthing conductor from the cut-out. I must stop calling it a main earthing conductor.

Unfortunately, it seems that this has all got out of hand based in part on my misunderstanding of what special location's precise intentions were and some assumptions made about my abilities. I came to this forum with what I thought was a question I would get a simple answer to. Sadly, through...

I'm don't really know how much more clear I can be here. I have already said that I have a background in a similar trade. I also said that I know that that trade does not make me a domestic electrician, nor does the 17 day course I did. I am though, trying to point out that I am doing my...

Hi Guys, Yes it was a training company and I think I know how you fellas feel about them and people like me who go on them. However, as I mentioned in my original post I am very very consiensious. I also have a background in a similar area, as I did my apprenticeship as an auto electrician a...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and to the world of electrical installations. I completed my domestic electrical training back in August and so far have not gone for scheme membership as I am a stickler for making sure I get things right before committing to working on a customers...
