Good point. Back to the OSG!! Doh No we were very careful!! Good news. Like your logic Thanks Chaps will resolve the cable myself. PS Good to vent my spleen now and again aginst stupid practices.

When it rains it pours at RJB towers at the moment. Yesterday my fan oven packed up, but the top oven still works. problem is I'm having my family Christmas this weekend as parents are going away for 'real' Christmas (that's pensioners for you). Anyway I use a fantastic appliance repair...

May I ask a obvious question. What does chocbox give you that a normal 30p round junction box doesn't? I really don't see how chocbox is a 'relvolution'. Please advise if different.

Well it goes to show what my mother / children / wife have always said "If I've learnt one thing. That's never to listen to you son / dad / useless git [delete as appropriate]" :oops:

Oh yes. Absolutely not. Or I could say yes and start some great rumours off!! Any joint is only as good as the joiner. Isn't a crimped joint better for permanent joints? The last owner of my house had a good method. He joined the two lengths by cunningly twisted them together and then...

MasterA I absolutely agree with you. My wife and I were watching this and the TV screen was by the end covered in Clementine pips. :x Our out loud questions. 1) Why not hire an intellectual property lawyer to sort out International patents. (Few thousand quid maybe). He had a UK...

It's 6mm. I'm skint. Have you seen the price of copper these days? You think I'm spending my childrens inheritence on 25mm meter tails!! (I'm joking too!!!! :D )

I am in the process of getting my service head changed as it is about 70 years old and has started a small leak of the bitumen. (Thanks to John D for the advise in a previous theme :wink: ) Anyway I phoned them up last night to find out a date and chase them up. Whilst doing this out of...

As requested. When I get round to it I will add descriptions too. Although bit busy at work at present. :wink:

Beg to differ. You can do all of the tests on it. Additionally you can put in a bridge in the ring final and see how this affects the resistance results. As resistors are built in to replicate 20m or 30m runs then it is very accuate. Getting into teh correct way of joining earth and phase...

I understand the re-wire was late 1970's. From my brief visit visually the cables looked OK (PVC). I haven't done any insulation resistance test as I just wanted Beryl to be safe as quick as possible that evening. I would imagine though at that age the bonding would need to be upgraded for...

No problem chaps. I cam do this. But I will need to type it out from scratch as I have it as PDF and its quite long, but I will try to get round to it.

Oh no. I have a feeling I have more to learn. What have I over looked?

I'm comings towards the end of C & G 2330 level 2 and whilst waiting for assessment dates etc Ive been reading about testing procedures etc

Not qualified enough yet to be working in industry yet. But I just had a thought. I will have a word at work and see if I can buy it through my company I'm currently employed with (not electrical related at all). I'll say it's for a nephews science project or something. They don't need to...

Damm it. My Christian spirit will have to go somewhere else. Beryl will just have to fry next time she get's it wrong. :D :D :D and I'll have to find another baby sitter. Thanks for the part p advice all the same. :wink:

OK cutting to the chase. Assume following a) I am competent enough to change fuse for MCB without my hair going on end. b) Beryl doesn't blagg me to the part p police. Can I change these things or not??

OK I'm going to be really ignorant now and will probably lead me to hang my head in suitable shame that brings dishonour to my family name. What's a CIS card? :?

I am but shouldn't it make circuit uprated as there is no correction factor for BS3036 fuse?
