You need to engage your electrician and discuss with him what cable size is required and how much of the work he is happy for you to do. He's the one who has to sign the certificate saying that he designed, installed and tested the work.

300 million is 300 thousand thousands. How long ago it was is not really the point, is it? It's the rate of sequestration versus the rate of release back into the atmosphere that matters.

Of course it is! By burning fossil fuels we are taking carbon that has been stored over 1000's of years and releasing it back into the atmosphere over several decades.

My experience was similar to that TTC describes I live in a 1930's terrace. The plaster skim coat is about 3mm thick and the sand and cement base coat about 2cm, but mine is very soft and sandy, just crumbled away to powder as soon as I touched it. The bricks, however are extremely hard. I used...

I have a mini ups with 4 dc outputs. Loads of options at a****n

Those old copper cables develop a tendency to snap in a light breeze when they are no longer in use ;)

Unless he knew his year 5 arithmetic: 333.33 recurring mm

Yes, I agree That's not the point.

Really? 2400 joules per second per hour? And Rirstead is wrong too. Come on, this O Level physics fgs!

That's a condition of their registration with a trade body. At their choice.

Except that they have the choice of entering into such a contract, or not. So they are not compelled to comply.

P drop, Not sure you've grasped the fact that, with the exception of rented properties covered by Landlord regulations, from a legal point of view, almost nobody has to comply with what BS7671 or the IET say. Get several quotes, go with the one you prefer.

I'd say that a junction box behind a radiator is not accessible so it needs to be a maintenance free JB. I've never seen any that will fit in a 2-gang backbox

Yes, that's my conclusion having looked at the graphic on them.

Yeah, they're about £100 inc. each. So £900+ labour. Not actually that much in terms of the amount of other work needed on the building in preparation for a new, fully repairing, lease.

Pods might be the answer, I'll check the exact part number of the MCBs. They've been in for over 15 years, I think (no sign of an EIC)

Solid neutral (the description is "1-pole and neutral" not "1-pole + switched neutral")

Hi, does anyone know if Eaton Memshield do a 32A C curve type A SPSN 10kA single module width RCBO to fit their TP+N DB.and if so, the part number? I've searched every supplier I can think of and can only find solid neutral version. We'd need 9 of them. Looking at Eaton's web site just adds to...

Steam irons start around £14. What does £120 get you and is it worth it?

The RCD did not trip as the current imbalance was not sufficient. Dishwashers, etc, generally have a delta suppressor capacitor, which places low-value (often 0.1uF ) capacitors between L-N, L-E and E-N. If the appliance chassis is not, for some reason, connected to earth, then the chassis will...
