Does anyone use software to provide qoutes/ estimates for electrical contracts ?

Recently passed my C& G 2365 level 3 exam and 17th Edition exams last week ( taken 3 years via night school) - I was wondering if anyone can help dispel the myths or confusion existing regarding the C & G 2394 and 2395 because I was told by NAPIT that I would not need to take the 2394 or...

Thanks for the recommendation

A neighbour has asked me to source LED strip/ ribbon lights to fit under his kitchen cupboards so as to provide a sense of drama / luxury etc.  (whatever)  which are a) IP rated for kitchen b) very bright and cool white . He does not want spot lights. Has anyone any recommended brands /...

I bought the new BS7671 ( Big Yellow Book) last week and as I handed over the cash I immediately regretted it. What item have you bought which caused immediate regret?

I asked same question to my tutor at college as I have my practical inspection and testing exam  (C&G 2365 level 3) on 9.02.15 and was told that I need to use the R1 + R2 value from the dead test and then use the OSG having determined the supply type ( TN-S / TNCS) to get the Zs value as R1...

Tested the pump and still no difference so took the pump out and re installed it to see of I there was a missing contact or blocked tube - nothing wrong- tested again and still no improvement- what a pain. New coffee machine to be purchased. :coat

Managed to change the pump on Friday but had to dismantle the base of the machine to get access to screws holding the lid in place and then once the screws out I couldn't take lid off because the round knob which controls the production of steam didn't screw off and I ended up having to break...

The pump arrived yesterday - I got home at 8.45pm - I plan to install today and take photos . If all else fails as suggested I may use a hammer on the ****.

At long last a message that may be understood - when will it broadcast ?

Yes I have descaled and I live in a soft water area so it should be running fine - as I've had the machine for approx. 3 years from new I suspect its the  pump- I will get some torx screw drivers as the manufacturer has used torx screws to hold the body together and Ill make sure its absolutely...

I need to repair my Delonghi ECO310.R Coffee machine- it takes 15 minutes for an expresso whereas it should take 20 seconds when the pump is working properly - I have ordered the part ( a pump).  Has anyone ever taken one of these coffee machines apart as the technical dept of Delonghi have...

Hello, I am on the 3rd year of C & G 2365 Level 3 course ( night school) and am looking for experience - I have all my own tools and am a good listener. On the down side many have said I have no sense of humour and am a bit of a wuss (I hate electric shocks-it ruins my day ). If there is...

Yes,  in my day as an EHO - during a routine inspection of a restaurant about 6 months ago -  I found what looked like a black box connected to the lekky meter - the black box had very small diameter cables coming out of it ( 2.5mm) and the digital meter was giving a code to indicate that it was...

Thankyou to everyone who replied - the responses were very informative, had great insight and should help anyone thinking of becoming a professional spark.    

I would be interested to hear what professional electricans consider the facets and aspects of a tradesman work that makes them great electricians rather than OK/ Average.

Is any one going to the above event  on Friday 20.6.14?

Thank you to everyone who replied .

Tell me about - when I joined the course I was old (49) and told  that the course would make me qualified spark- the lecturers failed/ forgot / (wanted the money) -to mention  the 17th edition, C& G 2394 and C&G 2395 , the NVQ portfolio , the day in the bay AM2 , the JIB card and the...

My day job is council EHO - but am self funding evening classes at a local college of FE to enable me to understand and hopefully appreciate the complexity of electrical supply, installation and testing. ( I have achieved a level 2 C & G 2365 and  am working towrds the level 3  C&G 2365...
