A fortnight ago, I got new motors fitted outside and every 10 minutes or so the motors kickin for a second or two. When they kickin, the whole lights in the house go dim for a second as if someone was trying out the electric chair. My gf has blamed this as the cause of my 4-month old LCD tv...

Sorry to jump in but can E7 be put onto a different meter in your house? For example, I have two meters in my meter cupboard with one operating the outside electrics and the other for the house/inside electrics. Is it possible to have the E7 just for outside and the house on normal rate...

If you are planning to split distribute the tv in the atic for example, you are best to get an amplifier. I purchased an SLX Gold 6 Way Tv Aerial - Amplifier from TLC this morning so I can run the likes of a Sky remote from an room using one of those tvlink eye jobies. If you were to use...

So I fit the Isolator between the immersion and Timer switch instead of having it before the Timer switch. Makes sense.

Your probably right. I'll hunt for the documentation of the heater and confirm what you've stated but I expect you to be correct. btw, should I bother with an Isolator?

The intention was to change to E7 but I'm still wondering if its beneficial to me yet. Y?

I had a good look at the heater and timer switch to see what's needed and I'ts just dawned on me it's a double immersion heater which needs a 32a supply. I only had the one wired with a plug. I have the 32a mcb but the 20a Isolator is no use now. Now the biggest problem is the timer...

Cheers folk. Yes it's pretty much an immersion heater. I'll have to get a 16a mcb then. Is 1.5mm 3 Core Heat Resistant Flex still to be used despite it's near enough outdoor location? btw, I am exempt from Part P. Lucky Me.

It's been running on a 13a fuse/plug for the past 2 weeks fine. With the timer, it will run for a couple of hours every 2nd day. I've a spare 32a mcb in my cu not being used so I wonder if I can still use that with the 20a Isolator acting as the breaker?

Not Really. Do you agree or disagree with the FCU? I've seen some fitted with an Isolator hence why I mentioned it plus the fact I've a 20a Isolator lying here doing nothing.

I've got a new water heater tank fitted outside and I currently have it connected to a socket via plug. My 48 hour time clock arrived yesterday so I need to fit it so that the heater comes on during the night. Should I connect the clock to a 20a Isolator etc and use a 16A MCB at the cu...

If you plan to use cat5e for the networking and phones, you will need to get yourself a patch panel cabinet. In the cabinet you will need to get yourself a phone panel and a data panel which sits inside the cabinet. You will wire your phone line into the phone panel and using patch cable...
