No its not, so might have a problem finding one to fit. Cant remember the make either. I'll look into it. Thanks

I was reading another post on here & if a voltage operated ELCB is spotted in a CU it should be treated as if there is no earth to the property. I've noticed my mum has one of these. Can it be swapped for a RCD ?

When I did my DISQ with the NIC you could take your OSG into the final exam

Its Southern Ireland. Not sure exactly where though.

Good call, Just writing a list out now. That sounds ok with the new CU dont you think ?

Five of us are off to ireland next week to refurb an old Bungalow (painting, tiling, new bathroom etc). It needs an Electric oven/hob & a shower installed. I havent seen the bungalow yet & dont know the setup on the electrical side. What I was planning on doing was putting in an additional 3...

Customer complaining his 50w GU10's keep blowing & 1 not working when he replaces the bulb. This is what I found. Checked the other 15 & they all were covered with insulation. Also whoever wired the flat had put all the wiring through the ceiling joists along the centre of the hallway so...

To be honest I havent been round to look yet. I got the customer to explain the CU over the phone but when he said he had 1 30A plug in fuse for the sockets, I said I'll come round on Saturday to have a proper look. What were your thoughts RF ?

Thanks electronicsuk. Whats the benefit from putting BT sockets in. Our phones in my house just plug into the 230V (1 plugged into the BT master socket) & there is 4 around the house all linked together.

Oh yeah, got to put the BT sockets in aswell, one master & all the rest extensions I suppose. Is there a special little way of doing it or just a case of running the wire in ?

Thanks Lectrician. Simple stuff I know, just wanted to know the technique :wink:

Customer is using dot & dab for the plasterboard. Shall I leave the wiring on the face of the internal blockwork & use capping & chase the back boxes in ? Or use dry lining backboxes like I have seen in the past ? Do I chase the back box in so the front of it is flush or leave it sticking out...
