Hence why I stated "if it is problematic". However if it is outside of the DNO's design criteria (even if Zs is tolerable throughout) then there may be an issue which needs rectifying, e.g. a poor joint. So it cannot simply be ignored - although it will be for the DNO to determine whether it's...

Untrue. There is no need to have a rental property wholly compliant with present day Regulations. And whilst Ze is a supply-side issue it still needs to be rectified if it's problematic. Obviously this would be achieved by reporting it to the DNO. I thought that would be obvious.

A stupid suggestion though. It is also likely to fray the cord due to friction.

Quite often used in domestic environments here.

They're frequently used indoors.

It's actually called in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment.

I'm not a fan of trip hazards. I advocate sufficient socket-outlets so that extension leads aren't required.

I was wondering how everyone else missed this very obvious implication.

It doesn't need to be anywhere close to its (not "it is") maximum capacity to need to be fully unwound. The coiled capacity is greatly reduced. And it can heat up very quickly. Don't expect me to promote irresponsibility.

Yes. It's good practice always to fully unwind the lead.

The cable shall be fully unwound when in use.

Unlawful totalitarian diktats should never be characterised as "rules". This gives these crimes a legitimacy that is wholly undeserved.

AudioLINK+ is MUCH, MUCH quieter (and MUCH, MUCH quicker) than the previous AudioLINK.

AudioLINK has existed for many years. It's always been free.

No.

I don't merely believe myself to be in Ireland. It is an indisputable fact. You should ask for an atlas (or a globe) for Easter.

Obviously the Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. Don't be a prat.

Incidentally Appendix 6 of the Code of Practice specifically warns against this.

Is it permitted by BS 1363?
