    Electrician to test sockets? Scam or not??

    A periodic inspection report is recommended by the scheme providers, before changing a distribution board, this should detect most latent defects and departures from BS7671. As this report can take 5/6 hours on an average domestic 3 roomed property, the expense of this report is not usually...

    Why can't my new Bosch (2.35kW) oven plug into ring main?

    The regulations - BS7671 allow 2kW maximum for an oven on a final ring circuit. There's always a reason! Regards

    chandlier & old black/brown wiring, no neutral. Safe?

    The wiring looks like it is VRI Vulcanised Rubber Insulated cable. Being organic, this is beyond it's sell by date and it crumbles when overheated (at terminations). Even though an insulation test is satisfactory, the wiring can't be inspected along it's length for signs of degradation...

    2391 Practical Exam!

    Your tutor should have explained the procedure for Zs at a motor and you should have a copy of Guidance Note 3. The loop impedance for a motor circuit is carried out at the supply side of the isolated motor control gear. The continuity of the CPC and motor are also required. Regards

    You would still require to be assessed and gain the qualifications within the required period; or pay another entrance fee when you have the qualifications. The NICEIC don't even require their qualified supervisors to have 2391, a must as far as I am concerned, but then they are driven by the...

    Pedantic? Is there a certificate for a DI with the NICEIC? (It's only applicable to them). I thought it was an appointment and a registry category. Regards
