Will you work for food? If you rewire my house there's a bacon sandwich in it for you. Tell you what, bacon AND egg.

Input power is what is actually drawn from the mains supply, and hence what the appliance needs to be fused for. Output power is what it actually puts out in terms of RF power. The difference between the two indicates the efficiency of the appliance. Also some power is obviously also required to...

Thanks for the tips.

Did the EDF representative collect any evidence such as photographs?

Thanks Riveralt, useful advice. Holmslaw, I would get a registered fitter in to sort out the gas pipe but for a 5 minute job I'm concerned about the cost involved. I know these bayonet fittings are self sealing but the feed pipe is very unsightly and just clipped to the wall, it's a simple...

Couple of questions if someone could offer advice please. My dear old Mom lives in a council house and I need to get rid of her old knackered gas cooker and get her an electric one. The house was rewired by a council contractor a couple of years ago and despite the fact that she had a gas...

Oh come on don't stop now, I was enjoying this and now I've come to the end I'll have to do some work!

No, let's help remove this plonker from the gene pool. It really doesn't matter what size feed you use, all cables are universal and fit for any purpose. RCD's are completely optional and not really necessary. As you pointed out earlier, they're just another useless invention designed only...

Susie Surely underpants shouldn't instantly explode?

Every xray Terry endured necessitated several indigo violas, each largely yawning

Does anyone recommend Karate?

"Honestly Doc, I fell on it!"

Even better - cheers lads.

That's just the sort of thing I was after, thanks riveralt.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. Checked manual and it does say it must be protected, and so technically notifiable then Spark123. "LEGAL" bit I agree with, "cheapest" I'm not so sure!

Oh, I thought any electrical circuit that feeds the bathroom should be protected by an RCD?

I had a feeling this one would ome up. :wink: Well as it stands I've made no alterations, just replaced defective shower and switch. Maybe I'll just leave it as it is for now and hope it's the wife in the shower and not me if something goes t*ts up.

Thanks Riveralt, I had thought about this option but as I mentioned the CU is old with large plug in cartridge fuses, except for the shower and lighting circuits which have MCB's fitted. I haven't yet come across an RCBO that looks like it will fit! I'll try to get a picture of the CU taken...

Hi all, hoping someone can impart some wisdom here.... We moved into our mid-terrace house about 2 years ago now only to find that the electric shower that was fitted did not work. For two reasons. Firstly, the shower itself was yonks old and completely knackered. Secondly, I found that the...

I don't want all the sockets RCD protected as some of the equipment I work on will have high earth leakage currents and will cause nuisance tripping, like HT PSU's for gas lasers which often have capacitive coupling to earth. The original shower was years old and probably fitted when there...
