Hi all Is there anywhere that I can download amendment 2 from? Have checked online but not had any luck with this. Cheers

Evening Can someone clarify for me please if from looking at photo if this is likely to be an S plan or Y plan system as wiring up for 2 x Nest thermostats 1 for wet underfloor heating and 1 for central heating. Both the underfloor and the Central heating are only on 1 zone each. The valve on...

You didn't stipulate are going full type A's now or a combination?

Points noted and maybe have been quite lucky so far installing mainly dual RCD boards. Will reconsider this but realise will need to upsell to potential customers as very often get beaten on price even installing these. Especially in these days of landlords just wanting cheapest option to gain...

That's correct yes. My job is to advise on costs and options and let customer decide. That said in 2 years of fitting mainly dual RCD boards not had anyone phoning me with any big power loss problems and if circuit schedule designed with some thought into it, it shouldn't mean major disruption...

HI all. Hope everyone well. Making some strides to start fitting EV chargers. At this stage still bit confused about some of the requirements. Am looking at installing a Hypervolt unit. This checks a lot of boxes, has in built PEN fault protection, CT monitoring so no chance of blowing main fuse...

It's got only 2 circuits on that side of RCD. One being the shared oven/hob, the other being a ring circuit which I totally disconnected. I also switched it to the other RCD and same thing happened. As Murdoch said I should have put the leakage detector on it

Thanks. Dual

Hi Murdoch I do yes, but tbh very rarely have had need for it so hasn't been on van. Will make sure have it in future. Is a IR reading at terminals of cookers not a great way to test then? Also am still abit miffed by the o.o5M readings was getting on the hob. My understanding is that readings...

Evening Just home from job. Was there a week ago to install a replacement CU. At time completed full range of tests. All IR readings fine. Customer contacted me to say every time uses Oven RCD trips. No problem sounds familiar.....dodgey old oven needs replacing. As like to be 100% before...

Thanks Fleeting. Well spotted. I'm not myself comfortable with just using the PME. Unless he can provide more info and a safe plan for earth rods won't be taking him up on it.

Blimey really. Thanks Dave. Thanks Fleeting. I had tried to edit post to include the uprating of RCD main switch that would be required. Will dig a bit deeper into regs regarding tncs on construction sites. In what circumstances would you be particularly happy to stick with it? Also he was a...

Evening all Been asked to install a supply to a 10kva Tranny. Will be sitting 2 metres away from the CU in photo which is situated in enclosure. Also from this same CU a seperate circuit will be run to a site canteen 30 metres away to supply 3 sockets. Just thought I would check to see if I am...

Thanks Geoff Will do

Thanks Andy Yes that was my concern that the LED dimming compatibility may not be great. I think best plan to try a small room initially and see how things also maybe speak to Futuronixs before hand.

Hi all Was recently at a property just doing some general remedial works bringing property upto spec with changing MCB's for RCBO's etc. While there I noticed that the lighting was on a Futuronix system. I haven't had any experience of this previously. Customer has been intouch today to enquire...

Thanks chaps All noted and stored in the guidebook

Thanks guys. Turns out I'm a bit premature in my working life as well as my personal. Advised customer to try some better bulbs........da da all working now 💁‍♂️

Thanks All The previous transformer did show signs that it had burnt out and she said was same before that one. I haven't been back to property but have requested her to try other bulbs to see if it is infact transformer/MR16 lamp holder. On changing transformer I did check the MR16 connectors...

Evening all Have got a little problem not come across before. Recently completed some works for a customer and while there she asked me to check out a low voltage light she has had some problems with. She said she had had an electrician round in recent past and he had twice replaced the same...
