As said above, openrent/electrician have had your pants down, that eicr is clearly a work of fiction and a drive by test, the socket circuit ring end to ends are an exact result using a calculator, r1 x 1.67 = r2. It is physically impossible to write out the top eicr pages, write out the db...

red white and blue were the old old phase colours, it changed to red yellow blue in the early seventies, then brown black grey in 2005 The white is being used as an earth as generally, cables at that time didn't have one so electricians, normally commercial ones, used 3 core cable the same as...

The boiler isn't in a zone, there is no zone 3, is the boiler going to be boxed in a cupboard? As long as the cables are clipped up to the jb providing cable restraint, then it is fine. would benefit from the boiler cover being installed tho

Forgive me, but that is a rambling way of doing things and totally unsuitable. If your still adamant running swa to the loft, then you simply need a 63a switchfuse with a 40a fuse fitted, 16mm tails and 10mm earth from switchfuse to henley blocks, then your 6mm swa will gland directly to the...

The decision that they are no longer suitable was made by the persons responsible for producing the product standard to which these devices are manufactured. This would be PEL/23/1. so bs7288 clearly says :- so until pel23/1 reword bs7288, or there is a product modification then they are...

If you want to install substandard, non-compliant equipment, feel free, you have been advised they are not to be installed without an rcd/rcbo already on the circuit.

It isn't nonsense, they have been omitted because they no longer meet the standards, and the only way they will go back in bs7671 is by bs7288 been reworded, and the srcd's design been modified, so no, it isn't a mistake, it's because they are non-compliant for additional protection and safe...

Except it's not a reg, they have been removed from bs7671. They are non-compliant as do not meet the requirements for additional protection under bs7671 and the contact seperation is inadequate and cannot meet requirements for safe isolation. In order for them to be used again standalone, the...

Under the 18th edition, rcd sockets and rcd spurs to bs7288 are no longer allowed to be used unless they are on a circuit already protected by an rcd/rcbo so effectively they are an obsolete product and a non compliance and have been removed from appendix 1 of bs7671. The problem is the wording...

No, given the wiring colours, that its worked fine for the last 20years, i'd say its a termination issue. When you say any combination, do you mean you have removed all cores and just randomly put them together in different holes? Have any of the 3 reds a folded over conductor?

RCD sockets to bs7288 are not to be used by themselves, the product standard states they do not provide additional protection and that they need to be supplied by a circuit with 30ma protection already provided. Therefore they are a device without a valid use under BS 7671, this is why they...

411.3.4? Regulation 411.3.4 requires that, within domestic (household) premises, additional protection by an RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA shall be provided for AC final circuits supplying luminaires

the insulation on the element breaks down, causing a neutral earth fault, which in turn will cause an rcd/rcbo to trip water cannot traverse the flex from appliance to socket/fcu, if the fault was in the socket/fcu, then you wouldn't be able to reset the circuit.

neutral earth fault on the towel rail element Common fault and needs replacing

When using a multiswitch, do you actually need the diplex/triplex plates, or can you connect directly to the coax's and the connected appliance eg satbox or freeview tv only receives the signals it needs to operate?

As a test, rub your magic wand on the clothes your wearing and they will 99% of the time light up. The alarm cables, if not required can simply be chopped off and forgotten about, likewise the same with the twin and earth if you can see the other end and after proving that its dead

ok, pretty standard, unless the nte5 is damaged? This is also true see :- https://www.openreach.com/covid-19-coronavirus Openreach and kellys are two completely separate entities. and just where exactly would he get an allocated number from, broadband routing details, line routing info and set...

By first glances, you do seem to have a 3 phase supply, however you appear to only have 2 phases in use. left to right - 1= neutral/earth, 2= brown phase, 3= black phase, 4=grey phase (not in use) You would need to check if it is true 3 phase supply, if so, you would need the grey phase...

Not quite sure what this is referring to in the context of the post? I'm not sure where that information has come from, anyone can set up an office at home without a council tax change, indeed many 10's of thousands of people have, you dont think people do office work in their vans do you? If...
