I think that is the main point.

NOTE 2:* The resistance of the installation earth electrode should be as low as practicable. A value exceeding 200 ohms may not be stable. So that's your upper limit. Assuming using a RCD. The rod should not be so you can touch the rod, if your supply is TN-C-S then with a loss of PEN the house...

We did have two cup boilers, but when we got visitors it was a pain, so swapped one for a kettle, got use to how much is needed to make two cups of coffee now. Seems a shame, we have so many coffee making machines, from the peculator to espresso, and today they are just decoration, we never...

No I feel I have missed out, I have only had one, she has rewritten the engineers statement, it is I am your wife, better if you assume I am correct.

Must be one, as no one lives in the flat, but even if there was someone in it "“dwelling” includes a dwelling-house and a flat;" it is a dwelling. Not dwellings. So no real wriggle room. As to having multi inverters, not read G99 to see what it says, and already over the limit for G98. Given...

Yes dumped mince pies yesterday dated 2024. But braving my wife's scorn is worse.

I would say, a 0-110 supply is rare, they are found with control circuits and imports from USA, but may be 2% 0-110 v 98% 55-0-55 so marked L1 and L2 and cable cores brown, black, green/yellow with a yellow outer would make more sense.

I find most items have wattage marked on them. But the tumble dryer is a leap of faith, I have used an energy meter, and once the drum is warm enough the heat pump uses a mark/space ratio to control the temperature, so although it runs for 2.5 hours, and uses 650 watt when the heat pump is...

Wife wants them, it is as simple as that, not worth the argument to turn some off. In the main Sidoli is the problem, they make stuff for the catering trade, and have an on-site shop which sells the surpluses, and frozen cakes etc, are very cheap, and there is a minium you can buy, so need...

I have looked at reducing the load, and the main contender is the freezers, we to my mind don't need four, but the flack I get when I try to convince my wife they are not required, does not seem worth it, I am likely to have to cook my own meals if I raise the subject again. To reduce cost, the...

@winston1 is long gone, he was I think main reason @ban-all-sheds left, the post which reerected this thread has been it seems removed, I think the Line was selected as so much had L and N written on it, the classing of neutral as being live, does seem to go well back, it seems to be related to...

I can't work out why I got sent the email? And what it was for?

In the main we look at BS 7671 for a definition, but there are also definitions in the building regulations 2010. “electrical installation” means fixed electrical cables or fixed electrical equipment located on the consumer's side of the electricity supply meter; (building regs) or Electrical...

31 Mar 2014 think you are a bit late.

At what cost? My inverter was designed to have an EPS system, so all it needed was a SWA from the inverter outside house to kitchen. Very little extra cost. But to fit a new inverter to get an EPS, that's not cheap. So one of these may be more valve for money, not looking at that one in...

So less than a week of rain, and the weeds in the patio are thriving, but grass it seems does not recover as quick. Since last post rained every day, a light refreshing rain, so ground soaking it all up. More like low-lying cloud to rain. All the sand on the patio slabs now washed into the...

Correct, mine does, only for 4 sockets and one FCU, not whole house, but yes I get some power even with no grid connection.

So if I fit multi consumer units I can have multi plug in units, OK, I know it means per DNO electric meter. But it seems the law writer was not an English student. If it is one kit per CU then my son can't have one, as still using two fuse boxes. (Supplied from two RCDs) or at least he did...

Since video was made before 27th there were no inverters approved in this country, second one he tried was approved for use in Germany, so should have been OK. Yes, these people who think they know it all, are specially annoying to those of us that do. Taken from a plaque on my father-in-laws...
