We defected from a company and set up our own business, we get calls sometimes from people. You want to have 2381 and 2391 both can be done as short commercial courses. Then you want to try a local large property maintenance company such as the training link below...

If your deciding to install a shower then from jan 2005 needs either a building notice prior to commencing to your LABC. Or it must be installed by a part "p" qualified electrician. Failure to follow this you will risk refusal of any insurance claim if you have a problem and upto £5000 fine...

I was thinking of the chrome or satin shaver sockets with the earth bonding tag, point taken yes double insulated and isolating transformer

purely looking towards 17 edition regs draft and secondly because the phillips shavers and some cheap ones the cords are not double insulated. Also like" is not "must" lets not bother looking for an argument :lol:

if your going for the socket approach then you may want to consider SY CABLE over SWA as it is flexible and provides mechanical protection

provided your pattress is securely fixed, It's not making the situation any worse. More important is zone location BS7671 OSG p59 zone 2 saver supply sockets to BS EN 60742 IPX4(ONLY IF NO DIRECT SHOWER SPRAY) zone 3 and outside no ip requirement and I'd like to see it on an rcd...

led would be a low heat solution, the track would be a good idea. Tracking will keep bulb and holder away from wood (heat) :D So as long as you mount so the bulb can't touch anything, you should be good

your expense for 70mm is 1)your de rating the cable because it's buried-so it doesn't overheat 2)voltage drop from distance so you could always think about 63amp supply which drops cable size-but really you need to work out demand and diversity. Also be aware that the regs state that...

unless the rcd is stated as 63amp with overload protection(rcbo):- then the 63amp refers purely to the contact rating-no 63 amp overload protection. Take a look at the discussion here //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=99855

my view is rcbo is mcb with rcd,single pole rccb double pole or 4 pole with or without overload protection but either way call it what ever you like never suggested that it was one rcd device, what I suggested was that the house was on a 30ma rcd protected consumer unit as tt...

lets be perfectly clear about this, the rccb with overload protection are not rcbo, they are similar in size to a fused main switch not the size of an mcb. Secondly in terms of fault this system is better at sensing faults compared to a fuse and disconnecting quicker

RCCB are avaliable as current setting, some are fixed and some such as Merlin Gerin are can be set on amp trip eg 45amps 500ma just one example http://www.merlin-gerin.com/MG/en/products/index_fon1_fam57_M9_DPN_Vigi.htm we always get rccb's with overload protection, if you do not ask for...
