A very good book for this type of thing is 'Electric Wiring Domestic' by Brian Scaddan ISBN 9780750659154. It should be around 7 - 9 pounds if I remember. Look on PLAY.com or Amazon etc Or as I did when doing 2330. Buy yourself a 25m drum of 1mm wire, some switches (one way, two way and...

Can you add some further information. What circuits are you wanting to add? What the existing circuits? Does your current CU have any RCD's. Perhaps posting a picture could help. Naturally, if a CU was replaced then the electrician would test the whole circuit to ensure they are safe...

To answer your last question. Get yourself a copy of the Electricians guide to the building regulations: ISBN 978-086341-463. It is around 20 quid. For your answer look on P51. section 4.4 Cooker circuits in household or similar premises. If you are doing 2330 it really puts the flesh on...

It's A. The control switch must be within 2m of any appliance and in the case of two appliances within 2m of either one.

I am in the process of building at home a test circuit on a sheet of MDF to replicate my electrics at home (except blowing G9 bulbs) so I can practise testing for 2330, 16th edition and 2391 etc etc. Anyway I want to replicate accurate voltage drop so I want to put resistors in series to...

I have been using kitchen towel wrapped around it. I understand that halogens don't like grease from fingers on the bulb as it creates a weak spot. Is kitchen towel OK or should I try a latex glove instead? I am now trying a company called GEC for this weeks bulb! I have 1 left once that...

I am now of the conclusion that G9 bulbs are s**t!. I was using Osram. There is no vibration. The voltage at lamp is not over 230v. etc etc I am going to change them to GU10 single illiminaires. With the cost of bulbs blowing running into the GDP of a small country I will be paid back...

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE RECOMMEND A GOOD MAKE FOR G9 BULBS PLEASE!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Why does it have to be the intermediate switch need to be dimming? Can't either of the other switch locations carry the dimmer. The only other way of course is re-wiring the connection between the switches to making your existing intermediate a two way switch. Not ideal if your cables are...

OK then this begs the question. What are a good make? :D It also still asks change them to GU10 or not!! Back to lighting intensity. The photo doesn't show two others at this end of kitchen. There are also downlighters on all work tops so light levels are pretty good. To prove how anal...

I have been using Screwfix ones.

This method is also in C & G approved books. Out of interest what is wrong with 'cheese cutting'. I can't imagine it puts too much stress on the CPC does it?

Welcome to my kitchen :shock: :) As you can see it's Victorian and quite tall (10ft). You will notice that the light at the end of the kitchen blown. The light uses a G9 bulb which are very expensive and blow all the time. (The last one was changed 10 days ago. So much for 2000 hours)...

This cable stripping technique didn't happen to be in London did it at OLCI? My instructor did exactly same thing :shock: . It turns out he's been an academic only and never practiced in the 'real' workplace for 16 years. To re-iterate others. use earth wire like a cheese cutter, cut off...

This is my situation. Changing careers, fed up of working for others blah blah blah!! Doing 2330 level 2 now, level three next year and in between will fit in 2381. The idea being, will then do some major and minor works for NICEIC part p competent person. buy my own megger stuff, get 2...

I have tried searching Google, but is there a comprehensive list relating to the various bodies who do part P so I can start researching. Or alternatively in any ones experiences which ones are best ?

Thanks for reply. Can I assume if its either of these it's worth repairing with regards to repair + labour v new machine. Sorry if this is obvious question, but I really know nothing about white goods. Freezer is 2 years old

Hello. First post here. You will normally find me in the UK electric forum getting angry or sometimes helping out. I find you experts in appliances kind of masters of the black arts! I would rather keep to cable calculations and getting angry about part p :evil: Anyway to celebrate the...
