Its tripping or to be more precise its in to process of tripping once that process starts ie is over the 30mA required then its not stopping, the variation is down to the manufacturing tolerance of the RCD trigger, ie the solenoid and components, after all its near instant disconnection not...

Or the electrician could have popped the RCD N into the non protected N bar....

That's just bonkers and grasping at straws . 1. see for what you can do : https://www.planningportal.co.uk/permission/common-projects/paving-your-front-garden/planning-permission and 2 : the only guidance is for 30cm above the ground level, which it is not so is considered to be withing PP rights.

Look I know its brutal, but people have a right to do what they want on their property...before you had what 2ft of planting you now have 2ft of paving...there are no safety issues and nobody will take your side from any agency. If you are unhappy you need to go and talk to your neighbour, but...

Its cast iron burner group, if its not been serviced then a partial blockage of the burners by debris.

Why, there is no planning issue whatsoever, the only regard to planning will be the treatment of the street scene, eg open front gardens or no fences as its known, that is the limit for planning on hard landscaping.

In this case yes... we are connecting to THEIR network....so its up to them to say what the facts are... as they have the right to terminate your connection...

As i pointed out to you John.. we have an ageing network, just how old are most connections, mine is date stamped 1961 and until we put in an EV charger the service fuse had never been changed.....Regulations take account of reality not electrical theory.

Rules on Max Length Of Meter Tails Regulations regarding the maximum length of meter tails can vary and are often specified by the Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) rather than following the standards outlined in BS7671. It’s essential to be aware of these DNO-specific requirements, as they...

Oh by the way, its the DNO that has made the assumption on meter tail length and the IET has written is regulation with regard to their instruction. They made it for a variety of reasons apparently, ageing service heads, non reliance on the correct fuse in the service head being fitted which...

As I keep pointing out we do not know what assumptions they made or who asked them to make use of an assumption they provided. Or if they made a mistake....reverse engineering it is not cool. I agree with Morq, regulations are just that either must or should, if it says you must then you do and...

No, they are separate but the could be together, as I have no knowledge of what assumptions they made.. Does 4m at 100 amps max cross a line somewhere where 2m does not in terms of bends, are they taking it that 2m has limited bend potential... They could be taking it that a cable greater than...

nor do I but what were their assumptions ? Did they include a fudge of at 4m its assumed there are 4 x 90 degree bends in the cable because they assume 1 in 2m, did they assume that a cable of 2m will not require a thermal load calculation but a 4m one will ?

That's the point, they do make sense when you base you regulation on another set of assumptions... in lots of cases. There is a degradation of confidence of that regulation as the basic assumptions are excluded, just instead the new regulation is presented without its assumptions leading to...

My two pennies worth is that the industry needs to make up "regulations" or advice as its known due to the intellectual calibre of those its intended to guide. Sparkies have a book to read and digest, the big brown one, but then that's a bit complex as its already dumbed down physics to make it...

Wrong john, we are talking about contractual matters, the contract between a tennant and landlord is governed by the law of Tort or case law, in this case a tenancy agreement has various sections within it that are sepcific and others that are implied as is the case with most case law. All...

Landlords are responsible for appliances....it has nothing to do with any requirement under any electrical regulation, its contract law. Goods supplied must be of good working order and as such is a civil matter not a statutory matter and is a matter between the tenant and the landlord...

You have to be a bit careful with that understanding, pvc based pipes begin loose their ductile properties at 0 c and then degrade with each degree of temperature drop, whilst they themselves will rarely fail the associated couplers can fairly easily deform and leak that's why we drain ours...

We just drain out the water to two holiday rentals on our property over winter by using a wet vac on a union, crack the furthest tap and lower the pressure soon pumps it self .. remember that from physics, disparate air pressure and momentum ? But why are you bothering... drain the water you...

wow do you live in a stately home harry... 24 circuits in one house, I would hate to see you leccy bill just how much juice are you sucking through that installation. Have you built a replica of Blackpool illuminations and pleasure beach?
