Thanks for replying :) Yes I found that one too, but its 3 module width. So looks like its a toss-up between the ABB and the Countis for around £100,-

Aesthetics mainly! The CU will be recessed into the wall, so you barely notice it. Adding another meter alongside would require a surface mount or recessing another box, then the extra cables would require covering over etc, it will look out of place and a right mess. The space the CU...

Just found this: http://www.neweysonline.co.uk/schneider-kilowatt-hour-meter-me1zr-single-phase-63a-230v-ac/1051008966/ProductInformation.raction £247,- with VAT.... that's enough electricity to last a year out here! Also found this...

Hi, I'm looking for a DIN mounted KWH meter to go inside a consumer unit, to measure how many KWH's get used. I've found single pole width meters in both analogue and digital form, but they only go up to 32A. If I had an incomer of 63A and a total maximum load exceeding the 32A rating...

I understand they have plenty of stone going for free up near Kyle of Lochalsh on the A890 :lol:

This thread is awesome.. Made me chuckle! :lol:

RCD and fuse ratings are different :)

What for? Ok.. Why do you need to know?

Its possible that if the fuel filter has been replaced lately, that the seal isn't in the correct place and isn't sealing correctly.

I bought a pair of these rubberised foam things here in Slovakia, looked great, felt great in the shop.. Similar to these: Bought them and took them home.. put them on standing, brilliant! Kneel down, muscles in legs flex, and the strap digs in like crazy to the point you don't...

John, You've helped me with my posts and shown me (and others) that there is a more civilised approach to informing and educating people on situations rather than the "BAS" approach. I'm grateful for the information you have shared with me, and I hope it continues for another year! :)

Anything with a sharp edge and designed to cut stuff can cause severe damage to life and limb... Why stop at just chainsaws? If you manage to injure yourself you probably shouldn't have been using the bloody thing in the first place. If I drop a kerbstone on my foot and loose my toes...

Darwin awards anyone? Because one guy manages to kill himself with a machine, means everyone else should be banned from using those types of machines? Accidents happen. Know the risks. Act responsibly. Pieces of paper mean nothing, any jim bob and henry can get one for a few £££'s and a...

Thanks for the info chaps :) I realise they are different things, but in some cases, they tie back into the MET, no? And in other cases, they don't tie back in, instead they are all at equipotential, not connected to MET? And BAS. Why can't I be interested in UK Regulations if I wish to...

Yes the UK regulations is what I was curious about :) I'll make some diagrams to confirm what I think I have understood from this, as its still a little bit confusing for me. From what I gather: The whole purpose of Supplementary bonding is to have the same potential on every part that...

Roger, thank you very much for that sir! :) I was just very curious as to ins and outs behind bonding, since I've seen so many buildings where they are extremely obvious, and started to wonder if there were other, more eye pleasing, solutions to it :) Just one more question, you mention...

Hahaha, you'd be scared if you set foot in this country, I've not seen a single earthed item here yet, they just piggy everything straight back onto Neutral. Water and Gas are just left alone, no bonding or nothing. I have however, stayed in a few places with stingy landlords, and like you...

Right so: In order to comply you MUST bond incoming Gas & Water. (I understood that much :D ) After that, by law are you required to Bond: Hot & Cold water distribution (Pressure vessel/immersion heater with storage tank) ? Central heating (At central heating boiler Feed & Return...
