Thanks Breezer, like you said its not a system i am familiar with, any suggestions how to get things working again please?

Hello All, I am doing some work on a bungalow, the wiring is very old and brittle,the house was rewired in 1952 the elderley owner tells me. My work involves an ensuite extension where i put radials to fusebox, never tapped into anything. I had to remove a mirrored light that was on the main...

If a partial rewire is getting done, or even a new rewire come to think of it, can you use the existing notches even though they fall well short of the 2 inch guideline?

Fellas, whats the easiest burglar alarm to fit, im just looking for one with 2 pirs and the bell box and control pad, not looking for anything complicated

Fluffster I never bothered to look as all that was on show was a tap behind the kitchen cupboards... house is old though 80yrs plus

fellas, im a spark by trade and fit a lot of electric showers. Just been to a house where the pressure was terrible, in 2 years of fitting showers never had a problem, so i never ever bothered with them water pressure gizmos you fellas have. The old guy said since they dug the road up last...

You will get charged £75... I will give you a tip though, on your telewest phone line, open the socket, pull one of the 2 wires from the terminals... ring telewest who will book you a service call, when engineer turns up he will find the fault in 2 mins... always remember plenty of tea and...

lol

fellas, I am in the process of looking to buy a van, i have seen ones with high milage, at what point (in miles) should i not go near it??

ok securespark let me ask you this, a 9.5kw shower design current is 41 amps, would you run it on your 47amp rated 6mm cable?

a bit hasty me saying the least likely there, what i meant to say, was it depends on installation (obviously)

spark123 you have chosen the reference method, as method 1 for the 47amps. you have chosen the least likely method for a shower cable.

fattony, our mate 123 is determined he is not ever ever ever going to use a 32mcb on a 6mm for a 8.5 shower :wink: :wink: :D

thanks gavin, no probs i think its scottish power, and it was not landlord who gave me job, it was tenants, assuring me, he would be in touch, 5days later and job finished, i still have not heard anything...

gavin i am niceic and have a certificate already made out.. the point is, jobs finished tommorow and i have not been payed from this landlord i have never met, his tenants are going to ring dno to reconnect, i want to know what the score is?

thanks gavin for your part p rant... sime27, im talking about dead tests

hello all A domestic property has had the fuse pulled from their property for being dangerous, i have just rewired the place, will the dno reconnect without a certificate? i mean dead test results

spark123 i know exactly what you are talking about, but the guy was asking about his " 6mm" cable Using the design procedure you would have to pick the 40amp breaker but put it onto 10mm cable

PS, i forgot to mention before I calculate my design current for a 6mm shower cable using reference method 4, as it usually ends up in trunking for a shower circuit.... the design current becomes 34 amps

i think we should use a 35 amp breaker, but seen as we generally only have 32 or 40 we have to decide for ourselves, ie, cable run, reference methods, correction factors and everything else that comes with it.. me personally wont put a 40amp breaker on a 6mm cable
