    Fixing catenary wire

    Would really appreciate that M107. Looked at the Unistrut this morning and I felt it was way beyond what I required! I did think about a TV aerial PC, but I've decided on some galvanised conduit with a connector box at the top which I can thread the wire and cable through (a la Paul BB!). It...

    Fixing catenary wire

    Thanks for the advice gents! I guess the unistrut's a bit OTT then? The wire/cable will be hanging above part of the garden that will be used, which is why I wanted to make it a bit higher. Will look into your suggestion Paul.

    Fixing catenary wire

    Hello all I've searched through lots of other posts referring to catenary wire, but haven't found what I want. I've not done this before, hence why some pictorial help would be very useful. I need to run some cable from the house to the shed (distance of 5m) to supply power to charge a...

    Female Sparks ?

    I agree with a lot of what Ali has said. As long as you can give as good banter as the others (mainly males) on site, there isn't usually a problem. What is funny is how many men offer to take my tools from the car for me - knowing full well they'd never offer a man. As for the...

    Building Regs Part F

    Hello all I'm very sure that I found some sort of calculation to decipher whether or not a bathroom extractor is necessary when doing a refurb but I can't find it now headbang . It's something like calculating volume of room and size of window, but I can't remember what happens next:Blushing...

    Can this be used to control a cooker plate?

    Thanks for that suggestion Robin. I did think of that, but there's so little space around the current CU and it's in a cramped cupboard under the stairs, I thought that would be a nightmare!

    Can this be used to control a cooker plate?

    I thought I had to if altering a circuit which isn't currently protected!

    Can this be used to control a cooker plate?

    Yes, but you're then going to have a DSO, RCD FCU and a switch for the cooker all in a row - it's not going to look great and the kitchen's fairly small!

    Can this be used to control a cooker plate?

    Hi Andy The intention is to spur from the RM to the RCD FCU, then chase into wall below worktop and connect to CCU (as Larnacamum said). My concern was that there isn't an actual switch to turn the power off to the cooker, you'd have to press the "test" button which isn't ideal! Would it be...

    Not sure what certs to issue for jobs - i.e adding new circuit in existing dis. board

    I second what switch10 said. My first Elecsa assesment involved me showing certs which I had completed and asking me various questions on it. I thought Niceic were supposed to be one of the toughest scam providers to join???

    Can this be used to control a cooker plate? http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Wiring_Accessories_Menu_Index/RCD_Protected_Range/RCD_Protected_Range_2/index.html There is no RCD protection at the board. Client wants a new cooker which is under 13Amps. Wondered if this could be used as the...

    To Notify or Not to Notify, that is the question...

    Hello all Just went to look at a job. Client wants an additional socket spurred from an existing. I would spur from a socket outlet within the kitchen (notifiable area) to go through the wall into the dining area (not normally notifiable) as this is the easiest route and the small kitchen is...

    Can someone ID this for me?

    Thanks Rev. Does that mean it can be disconnected if they no longer use E7 heating or is this something they'd have to ask the DNO to remove?
