    Pulling the main fuse

    Pull the fuse every time. DNO can never prove who pulled it. 75% of properties I go to don't have a sealed fuse anyway in the first instance. What do you do when you go to a property with no sealed fuse ?????? Work safely - **c* the red tape.

Suggest a Bosch Gas25 (bags are dear though).

    TT Installation Earthing arrangements

    Yes, same happened to me a few weeks ago. No earth rod but a reading in the low teens coming from the main water bonding. I stuck a rod in and got a reading of 87 ohms. Agree with you that often the bonds give a better reading. In answer to the original question. " As required by Regulation...

    Unions

    I was in Unite also, my story is exactly the same as the Revs (wonder was it the same factory). All Unions are highly political organisations but I would rather be in one than not. In this age of corporate greed and abuse of the ordinary worker, any little helps. Why do you "wonder" about...

    Commercial deep fat fryer

    No need to rewire in 10mm. Fault protection. The maximum length for a 6mm cable using a 50A MCB is; Z41 - Ze / (R1 + R2)Cr Z41 from table 41.3 for a 50A MCB = 0.92 Assume Ze at max TNCS 0.35 R1 + R2 from OSG 10.49 / 1000 = 0.01049 0.92 - 0.35 / 0.01049 So the maximum length for a 6mm...

    Commercial deep fat fryer

    Cooker diversity calculation below: The first 10amps then 30% of the remainder (+5 amps if 13 amp switched socket provided) So 1 fryer is rated at 52 amps (roughly if no socket) The first 10amps then 30% of 42 which is 12.6 amps. Both added together gives the fryers a rating of 22.6 amps...

    Dilog DL6507 10uA

    Got one of these Called to a fault where old voltage type RCD is tripping. Set the scale to 400ma but the reading states OL. Eventually worked out that the central heating system appears to be the problem. Disconnected the earth to the heating system and reading falls back to 1.6ma. Connect...
