    EV Charging from a 13A Socket

    Clearly! More likely this was written somebody in the marketing department who knows nothing, and aimed at customers who are not expected to understand the technical detail anyway.

    Replacing CU: 16mm or 25mm SWA?

    Well, the current carrying capacity of 16mm² 70C Thermoplastic SWA is between 78 and 97A (from table 4D4A), depending on how it is installed, which is less than the 100A fuse in the cut-out (if there really is a 100A fuse in there). So strictly speaking you can't use that cable with a 100A...

    Telephone cable - extending

    I have Community Fibre and so far very good. The responded quite quickly when a fox bit through my fibre. They use an OEM Linksys Velop router with a 2.5G interface facing the (Adtran) ONT. The fibre comes through a hole in the wall into an internal junction box (photo #3) and a fibre of...

    Telephone cable - extending

    Absolutely right, openreach have enough to do with the fibre rollout without worrying about minor unauthorised modifications to a soon to be obsolete technology, as long as they don't impact the service. https://www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband/retiring-the-copper-network

    City Fibre install

    Openreach Limited are a separate company from BT Retail, but are wholly owned by BT Group PLC. The equality of access to services agreement that Openreach has with Ofcom required them to treat all organisations purchasing services from them the same. That includes BT retail. How well this is...

    Branch off Henley block after meter with swa cable to outbuilding

    Look up "discrimination/selectivity" with relation to fuses, MCBs etc. Look at the time/current trip curves for MCBs and various fuse types. You should then be able to work out why a fuse is being suggested as the upstream device. It's nigh on impossible to accidentally damage an SWA in the...

    EV charger but Extra Low Voltage

    You cannot avoid taking on liability. If something goes wrong you'd probably be liable. You have to take all reasonable steps that a provider of such a service would be expected to take to ensure that it is done safely, and then you should insure yourself against any subsequent liability that...

    The wheel rim in relation to the axle? It's all relative (isn't everything?) ;)

    Spur off Double Socket.

    It doesn't have to. This is about posting information that is WRONG: "If the circuit is Ring Final Circuit (general assumption would be 32A Breaker and 2x2.5mm cable connected for RFC at the DB) , you can only take one unfused spur from the feed/supply socket. You cannot have multiple unfused...

    That's a different matter from it not being permitted.

    Spur off Double Socket.

    That's an appendix, isn't it? Informative, not normative. I've yet to see anybody reference an actual regulation number.

    Spur off Double Socket.

    There is no regulation to that effect.
