I know. Ive been toying with it for ages! I have friends who have gone and have been fine, I guess its more who u know rather than what u know. I currently work for a company who I have been with for 6 years now. The only problem is almost all of the work is away from home and Im tired of it...

Hello all, Im interested in going self employed but I have no clue on how to do it or whats the best way to go about it. Some advice, info or general information would be much appreciated. Thanks :)

i told him what was wrong and what i had done to try and find the fault. he told me to check all the connections and gave me a replacement fitting incase that was the issue. ill change the breaker and ill tell him a IR test needs to be done. if the IR is low how would i go about rectifyin it?

yea i was thinkin that 6 would be more than enough. i know the fault needs to be found but if i dont have the test gear than what am i to do? im guessin from peoples comments i need to do an IR test

what MCB would u recommend changin it too? at the mo it has a B6

na theres not at all. jus 2 vapour proof fittings and an EM bulkhead. the kitchens not very big at all, i think they use the windows 4 ventilation, not too sure

yea they are the only fittings on the circuit as far as i know. i'll take a more thorough look tomorrow no theres no moisture or anything anywhere near the control gear or the conductors. i dont have an IR tester. theres only a small window in the kitchen, but then again it is a small kitchen...

i checked each fitting and they all look healthy. no smell at all. they look fairly new to be honest. theres no chance of them goin brown yet, they havent even gone yellow yet. they look new. i dont know how long its been goin on cuz i only got there today, the call was put in yesterday so im...

i dont have any test gear, i have continuity testers and thats about it. ive been given a new fitting and told 2 check the connections by my manager which is about as useful as a chocloate teapot, i was thinkin insulation resistance but i need testers for that. how would u clear the fault if it...

the MCB is B6, i thought that and mentioned it to my manager n he said it wouldnt of been the issue. it has 2 twin flurescent fittings and an emergency bulkhead. is that enought 2 overload? unfortunately i dont have a clamp meter, what size MCB would u recommend? a C6 or maybe a B10? im not sure...

hey guys! i was at a job 2day where the MCB in the kitchen of a pub kept tripping out. what was strange is that it wasnt tripping straight away. it would take ten mins or so before tripping out. i disconnected the lights one at a time (the kitchen is only small and has 2 fittings plus an...

haha! yea i think a JB would be best! lol, instead of just lashin a few connector blocks up there. yea hopefully itll all be alright afterwards. job for tomorrow evenin then :)

there were no problems before the ceiling rose had been changed. maybe if i make the connections in the loft rather than in the fitting? the fitting may be crampin the connectors, cuz theres two cables in each connector at the minute. flex out from the connectors in the loft and into the fitting...

yea ive noticed the tv is better when the lights r off

yea i jus rechecked now and all the connections are fine. how would i know if there is an aerial booster on the lighting circuit?

are u sure? im pretty certain everything was tight!

hey everyone, this may be an easy question to answer and me just being inexperienced but here goes. i recently changed a ceiling rose in my mums bedroom for one of the fittings that have the fancy spiral chrome lamp holders. the light fitting works fine but every now and again the television...

thanks guys. i find fault finding difficult in general anyways, i had the n-e thing aswell and couldnt find out where it was or what leg it was on, it really span me out, i knew it was a fault but jus couldnt tell where, how would i determine where it was? like which leg its on? on that job card...
