    Consumer unit

    In addition to this to answer the original question. The feed on the board goes in the bottom of the breakers and out of the top. The RCD is fed with Live and Neutral and then the now protected feed comes out of the top of the RCD via the brown wire to power the busbar on the left side of the...

    Surely not....

    Back to the original topic. I had to laugh when reading that article. The eldest boy is described as not being able to go more than a few yards out of the house since getting a couple of beatings. It then says he drinks more and more. Where does he get the drink from? If he can't make it off...

    Lucky to still have a roof on the house

    As the appliance plugged in is a heater, I would not recommend plugging it into any sort of extension or multi way adaptor that has anything else plugged in. This is a high current load and should be plugged directly into the socket in it's own where possible.

    Advice Required for Electric work Already Carried Out

    In response to the original question. Have a chat with your LABC. Even though Part P have been in for quite a while now, lots of people don't realise. I have heard stories on the forum here that some areas are more flexible than others and will let you submit a retrospective application and...

    Plasma/LCD tvs fixings

    Slightly off topic, but I have to mention this. A few years ago, I was replacing my kitchen. I live in a terrace and was also taking the chimney breast out in the kitchen (2 x 100mm RSJs taking the load) I kept in with the neighbours and all went well. Before plastering over where the old...

    Take no notice Softus. Cashjob obviously hasn't been witness to some of the other threads that have involved our brother from across the pond. Keep up the good work.

    Graphics card

    You are unlikely to succeed with the laptop. Your only hope might be to look in the bios to find a setting for video memory. Many laptops share the RAM with the video card and some can be changed, I wouldn't expect it to go above 128Mb if you are lucky. Your best bet would be to upgrade the...

    Psychics Puzzle

    Of course it will. The forward acceleration of the plane is not driven through the wheels but rather the thrust of the engines.. The wheels just turn as the plane moves forward. Once the friction of the bearings in the wheels has been overcome the plane will continue to move forward. The...

    Washer Dryer Problem

    i should have said in the post. yes, I cleaned out the filter. It was a bit clogged but nothing too severe. If you put your hand to the door glass during the drying cycle it is not warm. There is no water left in the drum (I have already had the filling valve go twice so am aware of this...

    Joining Cat 5 cable

    Have to disagree. This is industry standard practice. If you need to lengthen cables and don't want to have to replace the entire length, eg relocating a patch panel or moving a power/network pole. However you do introduce a slight potential for interference in that the twisted pairs become...

    Hi and welcome to the forums. If I read this correctly, you currently have a pull switch and wish to add a dimmer to the circuit? The wires you describe are at the light fitting end. From what you describe. The red and the black connected together. This will be the permanent feed (Red)...

    1A fuse - legal and available in the UK?

    I'm not sure about the legality regarding the size of a fuse. However from a PAT testing point of view the guide tells us to look for BS 1362 marking and an ASTA mark and that it is of appropriate rating for the appliance. 3A, 5A and 13A have become the most common (I believe because of common...
