Its highly likely that they have joined a WEEE complanace scheme. They must "declare" the ammount of WEEE they put ount onto the market per annum and are charged depending upon that amount. The fee for the lamp will be an add on cost to cover them for there loss.

Where practicle Gas bonding should be done within 600mm of the meter OUTLET not before the gas pipe enters the meter. Or at the point of entry of the service to the house if the meter is external

Too Right but if the manuals says put it on its own circuit then it may invalidate the warranty, they will use anything these days to get out of coughing up.

ok so you oven has a rating of just over 9.5A so its fine on 1.5 cable (so long as the run is not too long) but to be honest you really should put in larger cable for future preference if you can afford to. No you definatly cannot put this on the ring main cct as the 30A fuse will not protect...

You could always try spiral wrap for (a bit) of protection, not a good as conduit but saves you hacking the ends off http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Cable_Accessories_Index/Cable_Tidy/index.html

Mike I was actually meaning build the board to improve your inspection and testing skills, I dont think your examiner will except you showing him a practice board for your assesment. What these guys want is for you to show them something you have installed previously, they will ask you...

Make a fake board: Get a piece of MDF bout 1.5mx1.5m Stick on a CU (with RCD), Put a ring circuit on it, A radial, A two way lighting circuit, 2 pipes to simulate Gas and Water (connect up your bonding). Wire the cu with a 3 pin plug on it so you can do your live tests and there you go you...

How much testing have you done Mike? you should be able to demonstrate that you can PIR the installation. I see your point about it being old but so what the tests dont differ any (with the exception of an RCD)

I dont know what your asking here, Are you saying you cant change the CU beacuse you cant safely isolate it i.e (scared cutting the tags and pulling the fuse etc)?

correct Safe zone any depth... Not in safe zone >50mm I suppose if yor plaster board is 12mm either side then in theory you have 24mm in the middle to lay your cable. if its 9mm then....Youve guessed it. You can also put a cable where you like (outside safe zone at whatever depth) if its...

You will probabelyneed an Auto Transformer of the correct VA read the back of the console it should say something like 110V 3.8A 50/60HZ think thats the spec for the US PS3 Why has he bought a US console he will only be able to play imported NTSC games and Region 1 DVDs and Region A/1...
