ban all sheds you really are a t****r i've come on here asking for some advice and thats your reply i now know that cable's must be over 3.5m high if they are to be run between buildings i was just asking for peoples opinion, ever heard the saying if you havent got anything good to say don't say...

After looking into this further it says in the on site guide book that the heater should be 'ipx5 if water jets' now i take this to mean that if the shower jets are capable of getting onto the part where the cable goes into the towel rail then it must be ipx5. With this being the case does...

about 2 metres and one shed is about 2.5 metres high.

I need to run some cable between 2 sheds to supply a consumer unit, what would be the cheapest and safest way of doing this? Preferably over head.

Coljack - Thanks for your help, just wondering though because zone 1 and zone 0 are the same in a wet room will this have any bearing on if i can put it there because it is zone 0 also. Sorry to keep asking questions just dont want to mess it up.

I cannot use underfloor heating as the wet room is already in place and this would lead to me having to take up the lino. Are you sure that a towel rail heater will be ok to use?

I've recently been asked to fit a heater in a wet room now i know that there is only a zone 0 and 1 in a wet room which extends to 1.2m from a fixed shower haed (on site guide page 72) but when the shower head is not fixed i believe the distance then goes to 3m from the shower head position. The...

Right ok where would i find that out then? There's a 50 amp mcb inside the actual charger.

Sorry, its a 48v 75amp, per 2 volt cell and is single phase.

I've been asked to connect a forklift charger in a warehouse, so i rang up the supplier to find out what size rcbo to use and he told me to use a 50 amp, when i told him that the cable going into the charger was 4mm2 sy cable he told me it had been tampered with and that a 6mm2 sy cable should...

That is correct yes, every circuit is protected by an rcbo and no sorry i don't have any pictures.

No the change of consumer unit has made it more safe as before it was a re-wireable and now everything is individually protected by an rcbo.

They may not be now but once i get the Zs lowered, as mentioned in a previous post, then they will be. The Ze was 0.24 if i remember correctly and is a TNS supply.

That is what i wanted to do originally but after what my mate said i started to panic a bit. So as long as the test results are within the regulations and everything is fused correctly then i am fine to register it? Also what if a fault were to occur in a few years would i then be liable even...

If by RFC you mean ring continuity then yes every circuit is correctly fused there isn't two radials on a 32 amp or anything like that. Also the Zs's aren't that much higher than what they should be. I've just been told by a friend that i should just tell the customert get it re-wired and...

No No What do u mean by me being on extremly dodgy ground? All other tests seem to be alright with just a few with a high ZS everything is also on Rcbo's and they are all working correctly. Its not that its not safe as most of the test results have come out fine, i'm just worried...

I'e recently changed a consumer unit at the requet of a customer. Before doing it i did a insulation resistance test on the circuits and found them to be within the regs. However after i have changed the board i then did a full pir and found the circuits to be in a poor condition i.e. light...

I've recently wired for a CU at a house but then when i went back to the house the builder told me the kitchen plan had changed and that the sink was closer to the CU that i had expected. It is still 1metre from the nearest edge of the sink to the nearest edge of the CU. Is this still allowed?

I've also recently been called to a job where the CU is about two metres away from both the kitchen sink and bathroom door is this allowed?

I never wanna go anywhere near pyro is hateful stuff lol. I'll see if i can put it in 25mm i'm not sure if it'll be big enough though. Thanks anyway.
