hi, The attached images show the issue. This is a popular door design but I don't know where to get a replacement (colour fade will probably not match anyway). Is this fixable? As you can see there is no visible marks on the outside. I'm looking for a repairer in Teesside area. Thanks in...

Yes and after.

Ahem.. keeping on top of things as always Sheds 8) kiss kiss

Hi guys, Google fail. Does anyone know of any mains cable installers in the Bridgend area who can do a job next week? Thanks in advance.

Looking at BS 7430, The code of Practice for Earthing it quotes:

Based upon a design (third party for the client) we secured the contract to install what was in the spec and on the drawings. The drawings included the cable requirements, no mention of generator earthing. Due to my inquisitiveness, when planning ahead for the EIC issue, I posted here. The...

Oh come on sheds. I use this site as a knowledge bank not to be ridiculed for something I clearly know nothing about. Granted, after a few pints last night the replies above narked me a bit but before it got out of hand the intention was to bring the focus back to the solutions rather than in...

Wonderful. Thank you for your reply dude. I hope your responses don't get ripped to pieces but rather discussed in a manner which demands respect.

Kind Regards Yeah right.

Christ. As you correctly identified this isn't an IET Platinum Membership forum so please don't act like you are the presidents of one. The OP, as you keep referring to, still hasn't received the response to the OP's questions. Get with the real word and provide help when asked rather than...

Indeed. Indeed. OOh you know how to turn me on Sheds 8) So it appears that it "may" be the case that generator earthing, independent of the protective conductor connecting to the MET, is required but so far we have no connection with any law, document or British Standard. We could...

Of course not, which is what I just typed above. Knowledge is the only thing missing here (and the generator earthing it seems lol ). They seem to think the 185mm ² earthing conductor back to the MET is fine. Is this not the case?

Yes. They did the cable calcs, supplied the generator and provided a specification for us to base our price on. So the construction and inspection and testing element is our responsibility. If this was a simple, "install that 1mm ² cable for that 10kW shower" then alarm bells would be...

Yeah, I assume the designer/ client. In terms of the EIC though it's our responsibility. I'm a bit concerned now though!

Hi Chaps, I have a few grey areas in my brain regarding the completion of the EIC for two generators we have just installed. Generators 1 and 2 installed to individual changeover panels in a building. Totally separate installations. 1) Supply characteristics: a) Earthing arrangement -...
