Well, I wouldn't have said that you disagreeing that they wrote nonsense was on a par with disagreeing that the world is roughly spherical, etc, but if you want to identify yourself as being on that level I can't stop you. 1) Apart from in the phrase "shared upstream RCD", the spec does not...

Yes, but the Falkland Islanders are mad.

OOI, has anybody ever tried the installation technique of driving a length of steel conduit into the ground, then using a water jet to remove the soil inside the conduit (and if necessary allowing it to be driven deeper,) then dropping the rod in and removing the conduit?

It's not, it really really isn't. What they intended may well be clear and straightforward, but what they actually wrote was incompetently meaningless nonsense. Not shared, eh. So where does the electricity for the other part of the building come from? What I agree with is what words mean...

But then you immediately go on to say If a consumer unit is shared by two dwellings, then neither has its own. Then neither has its own.

Occupancy is irrelevant to a definition which tries to change a word from meaning people to meaning physical buildings. So is only one space substantial and self-contained? What rules the other one out - is it insubstantial, or is it not self-contained?

Nope. Under English law, a dwelling is defined as a self-contained 'substantial' unit of accommodation, such as a building, part of a building, caravan, houseboat or other mobile home There are two dwellings in Eric's building. But as neither has its own electricity supply or consumer unit...

Get a Jettle - you know it makes sense :ROFLMAO: Well, you don't need to. Obviously we all very much want to, and I wouldn't want to live on cold food, but it is possible. We have a new chippy - Throw in a couple of portions of mushy peas and a pickled egg, and you're well north of £40...

He's on his 3rd SWMBO?

You might want to crop, or re-take, photo #2...

Neither includes a requirement for "own electricity supply and consumer unit". Unsurprisingly Denso has swerved the question, but given the above and this: 3.3 Household A single dwelling unit with its own electricity supply and consumer unit. In buildings containing multiple dwellings (e.g...

In the post which got deleted I wondered if a cold shower was more appropriate in a sauna. If they don't take your post down we'll know that it wasn't that which was considered so totally unacceptable. But I'm not familiar with sauna culture. Is it good etiquette to take a normal...

And if there's say half a dozen people and the shower runs for half an hour? They do. So is diversity allowed for them? And you'd be happy to sign off as compliant a design featuring Ib=1.3In, rather than Ib≤In? OK.

I? Not recently. Why?

You missed the point - it is allowed. Explicitly.

If the loads are quoted at 240v, it would be 24A. Sounds picky but 4A might make a difference to a fully i's and t's dotted and crossed design. What about a changeover switch? Can a sauna cope with no heating for the few minutes someone would be using the shower? Limits it possibly to half...

Where does it say that? No, it does not. It cannot, because it forms sentences using words which when you look at their definitions make the sentences nonsensical. It's not a "definition". It's something which an idiot thought was a definition. I very much doubt that any of the idiots...

We can't. We can try to guess what the idiot who wrote it thought they were trying to do, but in terms of a official standard/specification it's another f-up, because there is no legal definition of "qualified electrician" in the UK. There is for "competent person", but the idiot probably...

Practicality.

No, it doesn't, because what it says, given that it uses other words which it does not redefine, is without meaning. It's not a "belief", it is a fact. "Household" means people, no matter how much you try to pretend otherwise. Good. So please tell us, in this: A single dwelling unit with...
