    Some advice please - outside lights

    I am wiring four bollard lights with PIRs to have them come on as people walk down the long drive. I have run a 1.5 mm 3 core SWA from an all -weather FSU ( because I cant make the connection indoors). What is the best way to connect from PIR (to light) to PIR etc?

    RCD issue

    Thanks Adam. I will double check to see if there is anything plugged in but I was sure there was nothing. If it is an appliance should they remove it permenantly. By the way it fails on the 5 times as well.

    RCD issue

    It is a TT supply. The 30mA RCD when I test it isolated from the final circuits it serves, the results are as I would expect for a new RCD. If I then connect up the ring and test the RCD at a socket using the plug in adapter, the RCD fails (1 times is > 300mS) . Why should that happen, am I...

    On this TT supply I have a measured Zdb (all parallel paths in place) of 154? and yet the measured Zs on the ring (using RCD setting on my Metrel) is consistently below 1?. Can anyone explain how that can be?[/wiki]

    I was asked today by a friend if this is acceptable. He has one main ring and a small (2 double sockets) ring sharing an MCB. He has no space on the CU for an extra MCB and does not want to tear the house apart to link the two rings into one.
