Im registered as self employed and claiming, they said it wasnt a issue but id check with your local job centre first.

Personally i would have put a rod in, its not our responsibility to mess with the suppliers connections regardless of what some DNO chimp says.

You can have CIS without losing JSA as far as i know.

Depends also upon the Unladen and max laden weights weather it gets the higher limit

The red/brown core would be considered line 1 and thus would nearly always be in use. Other cores however may not be. The cabes would be connected together at one end and sleeved g/y and placed into the MET at the supply end also sleeved or taped g/y. Cables will not always be earthed at both...

From that description i assume you bought it from a diy shed and paid through the nose for it.

seems a little extreme until you miss that fault you put on when you crushed a cable or pinched one in a backbox and now the installation is either in a dangerous state or has the rcd tripping everytime you try to turn the power on.

Unused cores should be earthed or otherwise made safe, never snipped off or left floating due to the fact they may pick up voltage off the other cables in the same sheath.

Not being funny but his advise is as good as anyone elses here. Using unsuitable lighting in a bathroom is a potential hazard for more reasons than just the potential for electrocution. You also get other hazards introduced when the steam inevitably shorts the lights and it trips leaving you in...

If you dont the fittings will crackle and pop everytime you use the shower/the bath due to steam getting into the contacts and with a metal fitting potentially making the case live. Will also cause the lamps to flicker and die costing you a small fortune in lamps.

They may make the plastic parts but i can assure you thats all they do. CEF round here sell more of their M2 stuff which is made at RPP.

Except Centaur are CEFs Trunking Manufacturer, The Boards would be Proteus or MCG

Maybe because its designed for round cables not flat ones???? just like most glands found on external lighting...

The fact you have real world experience will be of great benefit to your students. Best of Luck.

Sounds correct to me. Would make Cooker, Shower, Immersion Circuits etc fail to comply also as these are usually a standard radial.

Would be worried about the distance between the lamp and the batten still, would probably recommend some form of fire break if they are that close.

Ring Final or High Integrity Earthing but then its not going to be one continuous run, but could be said to be earthed at both ends?
