A little over 12 months later it packed up. So I fitted another one brand new. 12 months later that packed up. At this point I...

    electric shock?

    I always thought pulling the fuse was common Practce and tolerated by the boards. But I read on the net that if they caught you doing it they would report you to your governing body. And a man with a big angry face would come round your house and tell you off. I take it that you haven't met...

    Now, as you are probably aware the 17th stipulates that all conductors less than 50mm below the surface should protected by either RCD or an earthed metalic covering. ( i think thats how it put) I don't think a kitchen light should be on RCD. HOt water, hot oil, gas flames, electric rings...

    electric shock from cooker switch

    Elephants trunk. Am I right in thinking its a commercial kitchen? Not domestic? So there is 3 phase? Did you do an insulation resistance test? Because if that metal elephants trunk (copex) is damaged it could also mean you haven't got an earth path either. I once got 240v neutral to to earth...

    NIC or NAPIT

    I've heard that NAPIT assesments can be easier than NIC, who will insist on seeing an actuall job. But I'm still in touch with the head of department at my local college and he went with NAPIT purely because they were prepared to asses work that was done in the booths at the college. Which...

    electric shock?

    It's an interesting thought that the reduced cross-sectional (or should I say cross-sexual) area of the high heel may offer an increased impedance to the fault current. Thereby potentially limiting the severity of any shock. It's a good idea, and I think I'm going to try it myself. Yes I think...

    Mounting Consumer Units

    Hi all, The majority of the work I do is industrial/commercial installation. I hate domestic and have always managed to avoid it. However, I'm changing my own CU and think I remember hearing that it ain't the done thing to mount em on a bit of back board anymore. Fire risk an all that. The...
