hi i did a level 2 tech cert a couple of years ago. I was looking into the fast track method and almost went down that route before calling my local college who convinced me that their way was the way to go and how could i possibly learn everything in 6 weeks etc etc. So i did the college...

Hi i have a friend who has just moved into a new house and he has found a problem with the heating. He has a loft conversion and has 2 zones for heating (downstairs and loft conversion) and says that it is a pretty new installation probably 12 months old or so. He doesnt know who installed the...

But you need to be "competant" to call yourself a plumber just like you dont need any particular qualification to do electrical work just to be be "competant". I just want to learn as much as i can and i feel like im doing that at college. My first thought was that i wanted to get onto the gas...

senate only sell the kewtech R2 plug in tester and i only use senate for materials. not even sure if megger do one?

hi i have megger test equipment and wondered if the leads will work with kewtech plug in testers i.e the r2?

there is another ring main for upstairs. do you think that maybe the legs have been muddled up?

no its about 15 /20 years old

the circuit is working. the testers i have are up to the job. i dont know if anyone else has done any work in the property. i have checked most of the sockets except one which is buried behind some computer furniture

The problem is that i've got no continuity at the CU with both the L and N conductors

how would you know if the lack of continuity was caused by a incorrect wiring of the ring or if there was a break in the cable?

is it ever acceptable to just seperate the 2 legs into 2 20 amp radials as an alternative to ripping out cables?

Do you mean that you take the L and E of the same leg and join them? And leave the other leg seperated while you test and then the same with the other leg? i.e not cross connected as in a r1 plus r2 test?

hi i got a downstairs kitchen ring which has no continuity when testing r1. i have opened up all the sockets to check that they are wired correctly. is there a surefire method to test where a break may be in the cable? eg between 2 sockets?
