Yep, I'm being an idiot. Meant to say Live Bar. It was a long day yesterday :sleep: thanks for your replies, appreciated. My little experience with domestic wiring I've only seen the big chunky copper bar linking the breakers together, but obviously this has a smaller one under the plastic bit...

Yes all RCD protected, was just explaining the layout as individual RCBOs on one side rather than protected by one RCD. Did wonder if there might have been something under the plastic cover, thought it mightve been too small to cover the copper bar. I will have a proper look when I can get the...

Hi. I recently moved into my house and had the CU open today. It is a split with one side protected by RCD, and the other half not (although this side has RCBOs). Noticed on the RCD circuit side, that there isnt a copper bar from RCD to each individual circuit on the load side. There is a...

So would be alright to change it over from pre filtered socket so I can have it flush?

I maybe have names wrong, I have one of these shown in the image. Couldnt find a like for like replacement to sit flush in wall.

Hi. I have a pre filtered master phone socket which is surface mounted. I'm looking to change this to have it flush as it's taking up room behind unit. I've done a quick search but couldnt see any flush plates for this, so could I change this pre filtered plate for a normal master one and then...

Hi. Just a quick one. I have an old 20A DP switch with a neon light, are the small wires going to these normally loose? Its tight at the neon side, just from their own terminal it was loose. Cheers

Cheers for help, appreciated

So in this case, when light is on, Common and L1 I get 12v. C and L2 I get just continuity, and L1 and L2 12v. When light is off, C and L1 I get continuity. C and L2 i get 240v, and L1 and L2 I get 240v

This is the wiring (wires closest). This one is a 3 gang

Actually opened up a switch in a different room, and the same wiring and the same voltages is there - even though it's still just 1 light switch in the room

Is this normal at a light switch?

I know theres not meant to be a neutral, but cant think why else there another core there.

Cheers for info. I know about electromagnet induction, but cant remember it showing 12v before (been a while) Just puzzled me as I only have the 1 light switch but this 1 switch is wired as it being 2 way. My only other thought is they have just just put the neutral into L1 rather than a...
