Only for a few more years. Gone in 3.

No. The threaded rod goes through the same hole.

Insulation resistance testing for circuits is done with all loads disconnected, because if loads are connected, faulty results will be obtained. They tested with the microwave connected - therefore they got defective results. Probably due to filter capacitors or other components within the...

The report is wrong. How it got to be wrong is something only the wrongun that completed it will know. Lack of SELV could only be C2 if it was required and it wasn't there. Bathroom extractors can be SELV but do not have to be. The only required SELV items in a bathroom would be desperately...

The only possible cable is the mains lead between the plug and the appliance. Tests on many items of equipment can be inconclusive or just entirely wrong. Whoever did the test should have told you what the problem was. If they are unable to do so, then they are just another blundering...

No.

If they are charging using a granny lead, there is no way of knowing. However anyone with ain installed EVSE will know as all of them report this and other information via the app.

Buy a new one from Amazon for £7. https://www.amazon.co.uk/LOLBIU-Military-Grade-360%C2%B0Rotation-Windscreen-Smartphones/dp/B0CFDH6Z81?th=1 Or risk that old one falling and destroying the phone that's in it.

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...
