Unless you're desperate for the work, I'd be inclined to walk away and tell her why.

Yeah, the ones they quoted were 313-1804 (not 236-0433, which has now been superceded) and they don't have the centre pin.

I tried RS Components as it had their part no on the side, but the one they recommended only had 5-pins (i.e. no pilot pin).

Would be interesting when you get it to have a look at it. Can you post a pic of it when it arrives?

You could ask your neighbour if you try your microwave/hoover in their's if they are RCD protected.

Has he issued you with a test certificate yet? If so, where it says for design, construction, inspection & testing does it say in accordance with BS7671:2008? I.e 17th edition.

This plug has the usual L1, L2, L3, +N +E, but also has a smaller pin in the middle marked Pilot. Does anyone know how it is supposed to be wired up and also what cable do you use? [/img]

Nice one :D

So it does :roll: - thanks!

Do you happen to know what oil to use if it needs topping up? As you can see it's pretty dirty and oilly everywhere, so the chances are it will need topping up.

Yeah, it is oil immersed, and although I don't know what type of MCB it is at the moment I might well be considering using D type. Also it doesn't appear to be RCD protected!

A welder[/url] is tripping the 15A MCB. The current range is 25A - 300A . Obviously, the MCB needs upgrading, but what about cable size as well? If it is rated at 300A, does that mean 100A per phase and if so how can you work out the MCB and cable size to something that is going to be...

Thanks for all your replies I can see now that I could have problems in the future unless I get it a direct line connection.

The supply is BT. The guy who installed the telephones put in a lot of extensions, so that in order to dial out you have to dial 9 first to get an outside line. HTH.

I am connecting a speech dialler from an alarm panel and when I checked the voltage of the telephone cable it only measured 39.4v. Will this be sufficient not to cause any problems later on. The telephone on the extension works OK.

Unfortunately, it's not available to all libraries. I contacted mine and they gave me a link where you can see whether your library has it or not. Here's the link . Good luck hope yours is there.

Thanks for your replies guys, that's very helpful. Much appreciated.

I'm installing a Texecom Excel panel with EOL resistors (10k & 22k). As far as wiring in the PIRs I'm ok, but not so sure when it comes to wiring in a door contact. One core will go to one side of the alarm terminal in which there is also one leg of the 22k resistor. The other leg of the 22k...

Wylex do both type B & C. So if you were wanting to change say a 32A MCB to a 32A RCBO it would be NSBS32-B1. Whereas a 'C' curve would just be NSBS32. Hope that clears it up for you. :)

Definitely 6mm² cable.
