The requirements for circuits in a bathroom to have RCDs protection is separate from whether supplementary bonding is required or not. All circuits in or passing through a bathroom have required RCD protection since the 17th edition in 2008. Supplementary bonding can be omitted in certain...

They don't work. 100% useless for any application. I have seen them a few times. The first occasion much time and effort was wasted attempting to get them to fit and secure the box in any meaningful way. Since then every time they are found they go straight in the bin and some other method of...

That will not comply with BS7671.

4x4 galvanised steel box with glands appropriate for the two cables, joints made with uninsulated butt crimps and heatshrink over.

No instant electric shower will meet that requirement. The flow rate is limited by the energy input. Doesn't matter how much the shower costs or who makes it. That won't be happening with an instant electric shower either, and it's probably flow, not pressure. Not applicable. Heating a certain...

Probably more like 15% remaining, but that is still more than enough.

That will be using a 'granny lead' 3 pin plug affair, which for a van will add about 6 miles of range for every hour of charging, so 5 hours = 30 miles. For longer distances a 7Kw unit would be installed which will do about 20 miles per hour or 100 for 5 hours. You can charge for as long as...

All rapid chargers in the UK accept debit/credit cards. The law requires this since November 2024. Slow AC chargers (same as a home charger) may need apps or other malarkey but you will only be using those if you are driving to a location that has one and will be staying there for a few hours...

That's exactly what it is. Real world range perhaps 60 miles in the summer. In the winter - good luck with that. It's probably the worst example of an electric van ever made. VW made it as a diesel, and some other company fitted electric drive in it using miscellaneous off the shelf low end...

Both will receive signals. The difference is when a slight breeze arrives. The Raptor will be fine. The other mess will be ripped down in seconds and destroyed, along with the car it falls onto. Those tri boom affairs are novelty pieces sold to the gullible who believe that lots of extra...

The VW is expensive junk. No bargains here. There will be no future upgrades or batteries for it. You are attempting to convince yourself that this VW heap is a suitable thing. It isn't and never will be.

Any of them The Fusebox one is £50 - pretty much as cheap as you will get for such a thing. The only other safe method is to have the whole garage on a suitably rated plug, and then have 2 socket outlets, one from the mains supply and the other for the inverter. Changing over involves...

You can, if it only supplies one socket outlet (double or single). No different from an unfused spur from a 32A ring circuit.

Its one of those newfangled wireless efforts. All controlled by an monthly subscription to the mind control device and the electricity magically floats via the ether to the appliances.

It's been nibbled by rats or mice. Check the whole length of it, and the hoses, and anything else that was stored near it.

You and that church hall seem to be the only one who has these complaints. Millions of buildings all over the world have had LED lighting as standard for years. Millions of complaints are not occurring.

The light spectrum that LEDs create is not created by the LEDs at all - it's created by the phosphors that are used over the LED die. Just as fluorescent tubes use phosphors to convert the UV light into visible. If the light output is not what is required then it's entirely the fault of those...

The paint isn't a problem but the solvents used in spray paint might be. Some of them will damage PVC.

The socket you have obtained is of no use there, it can only accept 3 of each wire. A likely solution is to obtain some of these: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WA405.html 5 way connectors, trim and strip the existing wires so they can be connected with those connectors flat against the...
