They support more than 2 non RCD circuits. In fact on their largest unit I've done it twice now, 5 unprotected, then 5 on each rcd... 15 ways total.

Plasma cutter

if it goes wrong, then they will throw book at him in court. But as of this moment in time, as long as it is not dangerously installed, and is installed to current regulations and in a safe and working order.. not sure he has broken any laws because last I checked a homeowner was allowed to...

WAGO on their own aren't maintenance free, but when used inside a WagoBox then they are maintenance free and the box has the MF logo as of October this year.

4" fan is not always £10, its dependant on type. I recently paid almost £100 for a 4" fan because it was a humidistat version and SELV

yep, I had a ceiling rose the other day, was screwing up the terminals and all of a sudden it went loose.. the head had sheared off the screw thread.. but the wire was secured tightly.

lol, house im working in at the moment, was wired originally by an electrician when the house was built. downstairs, every socket and light switch has a plastic round conduit and runs vertical within the safe zones. But upstairs... every single light switch instead of running the cable out...

I tend to mainly use Screwfix, and TLC for most stuff.. find them to be just about the cheapest and to be honest on most stuff I would be surprised if they wasnt because of their buying power.. it allows them to buy in much bigger quantities than most small wholesalers can and negotiate a better...

Should have fitted a humidistat fan. They should be standard fit really, in bathrooms whole point of the fan is to ventilate the room when there a humid atmosphere, ie bath or shower. In order to stop condensation and the formation of mould from that condensation. A fan activated in the...

Yep it is a flaw, even more important they are working when DIYers have sometimes been at them. On that consumer unit I posted a picture of. Some idiot, they had removed 1 bedroom from the upstairs socket ring, and put it on a circuit on its own.. That 1 Bedroom circuit was wired into the...

Ouch, here it's only £250 and I thought that was already high. And they wonder why people prefer not to notify and break the law

or for the extreme DIYer... just make a direct short between the MCB and earth. (not to be tried... I am not recommending it, its highly dangerous and im only joking)

if button doesnt work, but RCD does then it still requires changing because the test button is faulty... so there is no not about it.

Probably because, the same people who break into the suppliers meter to change tails also break the seal on the fuse to pull that first... so they consder that safe to do. But breaking into the DNO equipment is a little more risky due to it requiring partial dismantling, and when that is done...

as above, and opening the cutout is dangerous as it contains live components also, anythng up to the meter is property of the DNO. some dont even change from meter, as it involves breaking the seal on the meter.

I apologise to the original poster for the harsh tone of myself and some others who have replied. The only reason for it is, when it comes to electrics like you appreciate and have said safety is paramount... and the thing is there are so many regulations and sometimes also involve other...

it is probably more important to follow the regulations, and do things to current regulations and test for safety. While it is also a legal requirement to notify, work in a persons own home, it is more important to be safe.. and notification would in most cases come 2nd with safety and...

Apologies, my mistake and I was wrong, got studentspark and amateurspark mixed up because amateurspark said they was a trainy spark. I have amended my previous posts, and apologise for the mix up, my fault.

No offence taken, id prefer to be incorrect. while nobody wants to see anybody hurt or seriously injured.. people are in some respects responsible for what they do in their own home. if they do a dodgy electrical installation, or gas installation and it goes wrong they only have themselves...
