I have to back up BAS 100% on this post, from experience.

There are 9 ways in total. Maybe 2 x smaller boards is the option to take. Existing 100A main switch is in place already (surprisingly) Many thanks.

Does anyone no a brand of consumer unit that accomodates installation in narrow areas. Doesn't have to be too narrow, but a standard 17th edition board wouldn't suffice and RCBO's are a little out of my clients budget. I remember RF had posted an image of one a while back (I think it was RF)...

PAT = Portable appliance TESTING or PALAV = Portable appliance looking at VISUALLY ..........and making a vague conception and charge small amounts of money which recks our industry because you are too tight or worried to get the necessary paperwork or equipment...

Necessary - No, not if any work you have done can be accomodated with what you have existing. Advisable - No, not if any work you have done can be accomodated with what you have existing. Is replacing a consumer a nice little money maker for electricians if they don't do it...

Do you mean 2 plate wiring?

How long dast the starting flicker actually last for, on average?

My thoughts exactly.. Email sent 8)

Hey guys, quick question for those with NICEIC enrolment. (If you don't have it, but can help also, then cheers). I am having to change my scheme from Domestic Installer to Approved contractor to meet the demands of some clients. I was planning on having the Periodic Inspection Reporting...

Change a couple of headings like 'venue' and 'event' and BAM! I gotta a cert that has a half for the existing installation (where the existing bonding etc needs to be recorded), and half a cert with details of the kVA, phases, are additional earth electrodes deployed etc.. if yes, give details...

Scratch that. I think I have found something by going down the BS7909: 2008 route :wink:

Hey all, wonder if you can help? Had 2 phase go down on a distribution cable at one of the schools I regularly work at yesterday and the result was needing to get a 115kva generator in situ temporarily. The cable had been jointed somewhere and it appears that that has failed. (0.0Mohms across...

Designation = Wylex :?: Also, isn't it good how all the 11 RCBO's trip in exactly the same time.

What is the yellow tape there for? Was the a PAT specific company, paid by the unit kinda stuff?

If it is a 2 gang switch it could be 2xswitch lines and one feed. Otherwise what is the other switch for?

You may find that the longevity of your dimmer will be compromised, especially if you used gu10's as you are supposed to consider the derating, unless the dimmers are iQ. But go and check the connections to that fitting

Is an RCD present? What is the use of this spur intended for?

Spur from the existing spur? Or spur from the ring? The cable will have to be >50mm in the wall unless the circuit is protected by an RCD, or if you were to use a cable with an earthed sheathing of some kind. The fact that the socket is twin or single is irrelevant

I withdraw everything I said because I AM AN IDIOT!

Fire away, if you want me to re-up bigger copies let me know :wink: Response from the NICEIC this morning is that they want all of the information I have on the company. The big concern is that the company is a housing association service and so they probably pull this off every...
