lol, ive tried, impedance just too high :cry:

lol, that and there not meant to be around whilst I test, I dont have any bl**dy barriers or tape, out of sight works for me 8)

LOL, I have no idea whats so special about them 8)

Don't consider, it's essential the works all done correctly!

Hey Timmy Lets be clear about this, what I said in my post are the basic requirements, almost all Consumer Units are rated at 100A, It's what goes inside them thats important. A Plastic/Insulated Split-Load board with a 100A/100mA Type-S RCD should be first, then a selection of MCB's...

lol, No problem I don't mind people showing interest as long as they don't get in the way of my work, Kids always like to hang over your shoulder and it can be a right pain! :roll:

LOL, lets me completely clear about this Timmy firstly there is nothing said about not having an rcd, you should have one! on a TT supply first you would have a 100mA Time Delayed RCD (Type-S), this would protect everything, then somewhere further down the line you have another RCD, this...

haha I know, I am a bit :oops: now, they went in the bin along with a tp+n 300A sw fuse and erm some other stuff, some of which was in half good condition

lol, not everything has a sinister reason behind it, however........ :?

You need to be Glanding to Metal Boxes or a Metal encloser of some description, glanding to plastic is un-reliable. What you described is an earth ring\banjo, this is placed through the gland, the smaller hole is for bolting through the enclosure and then the earth is taken from this.

All junction boxes suck! 8) I took out 12 in one morning, but fair play they were crabtree and were spacious, but then these are 30A 3 Terminal type

Yeh, well this site is a little easier to work with than SFD, just burning up some free time, but yea I've not left 8)

If you can't bond the shower pipe without causing damage, then don't! bond every accessible pipe in the bathroom, then bond into all the electrical earth terminals in electrical switches/shower/shaver socket etc.

lol Yep, don't you just hate connections under floor boards, especially since there meant to be accessible 8)

Nice one, Don't forget to isolate whenever working on circuits, the neutral is technicaly a live conductor and always has a return voltage.

Hey TonTo Yes, the switch can tell me alot about the setup and as you say it's one-way and one-gang which sounds pretty normal for a living room. the funny thing is you say theres these three wires, is it three wires and an earth or just three wires there has to be two lives either way...

Hey Tonto Im afraid you missed out somthing critical......The Switch! it's likely that one cables goes to the switch, the brown takes the live to the switch, and the blue brings it back, the blue should have been sleeved brown so the unwise know its live. if you have found red + yellow...

Sadly yea :roll:

Nothing wrong with using one of them conduit boxes anyway, saves using grommits, its all smooth plastic so running Twin + Earth cables in them would be no problem and can't see why you can't use a junction box either

Hey Beanzy..Nice to see you here :)
