The blissful ignorance of the units themselves being designed safe is a wonder to behold, the fixation with the circuit whilst forgetting the generator has become almost a panto... look at this don't look there because my argument falls flat. The cables will overload, the rcbo will not work...

It may be helpful to have a look at the report into looped supplies : https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6949772372075a1d4a508a14/unlooping-electricity-network-connections-research-summary-report.pdf Its pointed out that looping can and often is not restricted to my interpretation...

Exactly I did not know I was looped, nor did the dno as they upped my main fuse to 80amps for an new ev charger for a new car with a higher charging rate. DNO said it should be fine untill the get it unlooped as I have had an ev for 10 years but now precludes my neighbour getting an ev untill...

Yes your lack of understanding is splattered across this forum like a rash... the rules state that any payments in the 12 months prior to standing as a candidate MUST be declared - regardless.

If a politician is being paid to do something other than their job it bloody well is in the public intrest.. If you except money to stand then you are in the pocket of the person that paid you...

You have an isolator is called the lighting fuse/mcb/rcbo in the main consumer unit what you are talking about is a convenience isolator so that the entire circuit does not need to be turned off for maintenance.. on the other hand the manufactures requirements are king, so what does the fan...

Well that was an phone call... seems that the advice given was not so much wrong as right and wrong. DNO called yesterday evening. Seems there is an isolation fault that they will fix and will unloop our supply. It seems that from my neighbours supply head there is a fair chance that my inverter...

touched a nerve odds... or is it ?

Best to just ignore and have a chat amongst ourselves.

Seen the service head looped supply, live was off during the fuse pull. As the neutral is bonded at the service head and the cpc is connected to to the supply sheath there is a earth stake along the looped supply cable or by the very fact that the lead sheath is in the earth.As the inverter...

DNO changed out the meter at my neighbours house, pulled main cut out and bing off went our power for 10 seconds. I was under the impression that the DNO fuse came after the loop join ie on the load side to the meter but seems not. Our meter went dark and stayed off for the hour or so he took to...

Again you are focusing on what you get... not what we get ie. slightly cheaper but stable prices from solar and wind. Factoring in a return from grid export always seemed a white elephant, sure some people do well but at the expense of who else ? Have a look at the spot market, average is 10p...

Ai generated vids that just ignore the real world are just click bait... grid load is measured by frequency of electricity which national grid aim to keep within 1% of 50Hz. Its that mointering of frequency that tells the grid what is producing power... so the first claim is panttrurnings, the...

this has got bizarre, all thats missing is bsi changing sockets to be bi-directional...

Britsih standards are not devolved to regional governments, same as defence, drug safety etc etc, and as its policy what difference would changing milliband have, the whole cabinet had to agree and under the ministerial code all policy decisions approved by cabinet must be reversed by the...
