And next week he will however I thought I'd get the heads up first.

Well, actually, it was a C&G Lecturer although rumour has it that he is a Plasterers Apprentice for his day job.

Hi Guys, Has anyone heard, or can confirm, the rumour that the IEE are planning on bringing in the 17th Edition Regs sometime next year? Cheers HoraceG

Hi Guys, It has been thrown at us that the Maximum Disconnection Time for Bath/Shower Rooms is 0.2 seconds. Can anyone point me to the regulation that confirms 0.2 secs Table 41A says 0.4 seconds. Cheers HoraceG

Hi I/M, In theory it does not matter however normally the incoming pair go in the top and the outgoing pair in the bottom. Cheers Horaceg

Ah well now, In the bad ol' days, if you swopped the tails in the meter i.e. incoming in the right hand side and load into the lHS then the meter used to run backwards! Not that I've ever actually done this you understand. I don't know about contempory meters though.

Thanks for the replies. If I've got this right, and once the generator is syncronised, the appliances in the installation will draw their required current from the generator first and THEN suppliment any additional load required from the Mains via the Meter? So, in theory, if the generator...

Hi Guys, Can anyone please point me in the right direction to a Web-Page or Site that explains, simply, how Mains Voltage & Current generated from, say, a Wind Generator, links into household mains and suppliments the supply? Thanks in advance. HoraceG

Thanks JohnD for the reply. I need it to feed a CCU sited in the middle of a bungalow from an external meter cabinet. Greater than 2m so I have to have additional protection I believe, or is it just Isolation? Cheers HoraceG

Hi guys, Can anyone recommend a make of compact switchfuse @ 80/100a SP for fitting into Meter Cabinets (Mantell Units for the olduns amoungst us)? Thanks HoraceG

Yes, the CSCS (construction skills certification scheme) is administered by the JIB and, Yes, I believe one needs the NVQ3 to obtain an Electricians Card, other than that, it's an Adult Trainee Card. HoraceG

Harry, As you are no doubt aware, these are very old and now obsolete. The LM range of Loadmaster Series 15 MCB's were rated as a Type 4 3kA (M3) which probably equates to a 'D' rated breaker. You would need to contact Dorman Smith and ask them the question. For your info: 10 Amp = LM10 40...

I Believe that, unless you have a NVQ3, you will only get an 'Adult Trainee' card!

Thanks for the reply. All you say is true but doesn't address the main issue. In the event of a rise in voltage from the incoming Neutral/Earth in a TN-C-S installation, this voltage would be present OUTSIDE the building on the external pipe and present a Potential Difference with the...

Thanks for your input anyway! :)

Didthathurt, Electrical Separation is a method of achieving protection from Indirect Contact i.e. an Isolating Transformer with no direct connection of the P.E.C. to the output. (Such as a Shaver Point) Segregation of Safety Circuits refers to the physical separation of Fire Alarm and...

Hi Guys, I wonder if anyone could clear up a query we have regarding sections of Installation Certificates. On a DOMESTIC INSTALLATION CERTIFICATE Section: Prevention of mutual detrimental influences Item 3: Electrical Seperation Would this be the same "Electrical...

In Line with Reg: 413-02-02 a Main Equipotential Bonding Conductor must be run to incoming services such as Water & Gas. 547-02-02 states this bond must be made within 600mm of Point of Entry to the building. In TN-C-S Installations it has been noted that, occasionally, the voltage will rise...

Good Point, Pensdown! That's ruled Immersion Heaters back into the DP camp! Thanks HoraceG
