sounds like my Zs values were behaving as expected.....great :lol: I recorded PFC values as I went round doing the Zs ones too. They did the reverse and got smaller the further from the consumer unit I got....closest socket gave 0.85kA/850Amps, furthest one 0.37kA/370 Amps. Are these values...

End to end measurements were:- N-N 0.35 Ohms L-L 0.34 Ohms E-E 0.91 Ohms which fits with the old 2.5mm T+E with 1mm CPC, so ratio of 1:2.5. Definitely no broken ring. I now suspect I hadn't auto-nulled the leads, at least for the kitchen one. Because of the distance to the meter box...

Thanks for the replies. I took the previous version of the minor works down as I realised a few things were wrong. The hawk eyed among you obviously spotted it too quickly! I wonder if anyone can please identify the size of the green/yellow bonding cable (pics show this at the meter box and the...

Hi. I had a local electrician come take a look - he thought my work looked like it met regs, but because it had a lot of joins (I used Wago's instead of twisting cables etc) he wasn't happy to certify it in case NICEIC picked my job later to make him break it down. He did however be incredibly...

Hi. Thanks for replies! The reply I got from LABC on querying my interpretation of the changes to part P was:- I agree with the interpretation of the current requirements of the building regulations as set out in the "changes to Part P" leaflet that you have provided. Therefore, provided...

...so you are saying there's a legal requirement to get non-notifiable work certificated? I own the property, it's for my own use etc. If it does need certifying, can I just get any competent electrician (they wouldn't even need part P presumably as it's non notifiable work) to issue a minor...

Hi. I've recently found this link explaining changes to part P:- http://www.niceic.com/Uploads/File8952.pdf So my question is regarding work in a kitchen (no longer deemed a special location) involving extending the ring main to add one double socket then running a 3A fused spur off this...

ah, yes he did, duh! :oops: That makes life easier. Thanks

Erm, is that yes the metal back box counts as an enclosure or yes they need to be in a plastic box inside the metal back box? :?

Hi. Please could someone clarify for me? I'm aware if you use Wago connectors they need to be in an enclosure. If you're using them behind for example a fused spur, does the earthed metal back box count as a suitable enclosure? Or do they have to be inside a plastic choc box inside the earthed...

Hi. Title says it all really. I've filled in the handle locations that I'm sure of/are obvious....but what about the corner cupboards and the other base drawerline unit - which sides of the cupboard doors would you go for and why? I can't decide what'll be best practically and/or look the best...

Casamena - sorry I don't give up that easy...renovated the whole flat myself so far apart from plastering. Not too shabby at diy - did this floor/doors/skirting/architrave/coving myself:- According to the diagrams the areas from the outlets right down to the floor are safe zones, whether...
