Oh OK then . Trust me to exagerate the need . Anyway if we conspire to adjust the nominal voltages to include anything from the smallest battery (cell) up to a figure exceeding the voltages of any mains appliance , I will be happy (In Theory!)

You're a Fool. No only joking so do not take offence. What you are allowed to do and what you are not allowed to do and what you are not allowed to do unless this that and tother is not always sensible or is not sensible at the extremes and it is easy to see how it often occours. I a not...

I wondered that myself

No!

Well, depending what the rules say if it must have a plug to plug in then it must have a plug to plug in. Whether or not it must have is irrevelevant to the fact that electrically speaking the only difference in having the plug on is that you can choose to unplug it to isolate it, if you use a...

I think we really need to know what happened in what order, what you tried to achieve anh how you did it and what you suspect may have happened previously and the reasons why you suspect it. Only then might (or might not) we might have a chance of following thru to advise otherwise we would...

So you are going to report it then?

What is so bad about leaving a nice clean blanking place in position? Seems a lot of palaver for little or no gain!

Well, I reckon that say 12 months down the line we should see what is then permitted - initially the regs/rules cover what the Gov reckon should be the case as best they can forsee then the clever/stupid find every which way they can utilise (or accidentally/purposely) manipulate outside the...

Actually if we consider further we could decide to nominate the "Official World Voltage of Single Phase as 1000v +/- 100%" in the hope of making almost everyone happy :giggle:

I think the question related to was the "official 230v" UK or European or both (or neither) . OK what is the answer then - my take on it is I`m happy to be it considered both - mind you I am just as happy for UK voltage to be considered 240v (for single phase of course). No doubt some will slap...

Sometimes you can see that the instructions are taken as a bad conversion from chinese or something. It can be hilarious even though it might have serious consequences - Active infra red detectors beams dualled or Quadroupled to counter false alarms from Frogs (I translated as Fog ) and...

Instructions are meant to be daft - I think it must be a legal requirement = 70s or 80s I remember I think oit might have been MFI or somesuch make and the instructions of building a sideboard etc and I particuilarly remember "Back 6" item and it explained how to build it but right at the end...

Yes indeed - the old traditional cookers with an eye-level grill was great for that, if you burnt toast or bacon it was your own dafter fault like climbing a tree and falling out of it and break yer leg that was your own daft fault too.

LOL :LOL: (anonymously perhaps?) LOL

Yes but whether central or local it is sometimes difficult to imagine gov depts showing sense (or a modicom of it at least) anyway they do still have plenty of ill-thought ideas sometimes just to balance back to "normal" so do not lose heart, they are still capable of immense daftness just to...

Price less ! :giggle:

In our LABC they were both officially different departments but were physically dealt with by the same people in the same office, probably more finiancially and practically prudent way of getting best results they ewere also strongly linked to and "borrowed" and consulted each other in the...

Is that a conduit box or a chinese airport hub?

No requirement to even have a local isolator for it. Could be switched off at the consumer unit in the event of that needing to be done. True but I much prefer the 2m from the cooking appliances approach and not too difficult to find in haste if required . If we takes the Regs as the bottom...
