Why...if giving an answer you should explain, that way it proves you understand what you are talking about. The external RCD protected socket is fed from the internal ring main, this is protected by a RCBO that is a C32 as required by the Regs (well recommended by good practice) The external...

Why?

I can't remember who, may have been Makita, but someone did come out with a cable clip tool several years ago...it cost more than £500 and the only clips that fitted into it had to be bought from the tool manufacturer and they costs about 5 times the cost of normal ones.... Killed by economics....

I remember reading a story that stated those who post medical statements without proof are often short sighted :)

If it is a village hall then I hate to burst your bubble but this is not a domestic situation...all power tools should be 110V rated and fed via an isolating transformer. Failing that they should be Petrol driven. Contrary to what you often hear, mains rated power tools should not be used in...

Clearly I know more about physics than you. The temperatures at which the shower coils work at is such that the material the elements are made from has an effective fixed resistance. if the coil were simple wire then the resistance would vary much more, but the that is not the case with...

Winston, this posts clearly shows that you do not understand electricity and as such perhaps you might care to read up on it before making foolish posts like this. As BAS has, I am sure, pointed out on many occasions, most electric showers are a FIXED resistance and all manufacturers must...

Damn it..as annoying and arrogant as BAS can be..no sane person can challenge that post. What he has said is 100% correct. Could he sometimes moderate his picky and annoying ways...of course..but that post kills any arguments dead. Damn I hate to say this...Great post BAS.

Skyhigh, a socket, RCD protected or not, is not designed to act as a fault current disconnection device...BAS is correct to challenge that point you made that you have now re-iterated. The AC unit should not be fed from the output side of the RCD.. effectively the live socket terminals because...

Picky as usual, however he is still wrong and your later comments in this posts and the following one about Winston demonstrate that. I KNOW he is wrong because the Regulation state he is WRONG. It is not my opinion, it is a Fact as per BS 7671 Appendix 2 section 14. The UK supply 230 V +10% -...

The problem is you clearly do not understand what you are talking about in this context. The supply voltage for the UK has a NOMINAL rating of 230V..that means all design calculation should be undertaken using this voltage. It of irrelevant what you measure with your B&Q kill you quick ****y...

Hate to **** on your parade but your incorrect, I assume you erroneously calculated using 240V, but you should, as per BS7671 (In fact as per the 15th and 16th Editions of the IEE Regs - Before it became BS7671) the correct voltage for design calculations is 230V and for a 9.5kW load that is...

Better plan...don't mess with the hood as it is under warranty from the installer. Check you have power at the spur and check it has an output..you already said the fuse is good...if there is electricity going to the hood then the fault lays within..call the installer/supplier...if you start...

Putting kit like AC units on RCD's is poor design. They are no designed for use of that type of equipment, well the ones you find in the equipment being used anyway. If there was a need to put an AC unit on and RCD due to increased shock hazard caused by the environment it was installed in then...

Dan, I work in building services, 5 of the 26 buildings I manage the services in are controlled via Trend Controllers, we are not talking small buildings, one has more than 4,000 staff in it and a new one is capable of about 2,000 staff. Trend controllers run and interface with all manner of...

I cannot believe this nonsense is still going on. Look people, Kevin may be a pain in the arse, he always has been, but he is not a fool either. His arrogance does get the better of him from time to time, but many of us can be guilty of that. The simple fact is the Mods will ban someone if they...

He posted that info after your initial post...you didn't miss it. Before you go to that trouble, check what minimum ambient temperature the F/F will tolerate - moving it to a shed might be a waste of time. That may be true, but a few small tube heaters on a frost stat can solve that...

Clearly, we live in the real world of risk and acceptance, you live in the world of "Aaarrr...the Zombies are coming" :mrgreen: Easy Guns are banned because the Police do not like competition in shooting the innocent (And in fact Guns are not banned, only restricted) Drink Driving is not...

EFLImpudence, Rally....it is a sport without arena and the cars are more than capable of killing a person not taking part in being a spectator.. and that has, very sadly happened. I also note you very sneakily ignored my comments about Golf and Cricket killing people not taking part, or the...

EAW 1989 635 Part II Regulation 16 states Further, the HSE defines a person as being competent thus. Now whilst I accept the exact words I used were not how it is actually worded, the overall gist is the same when you take into account what the guidance notes for implementation of the Act...
