Sorry but I havent got a picture. Ideally they need a new CCU. But thats a job for a qualified spark not me. It seems that MEM MCB plugins arent available so I imagine the next best thing to do would be getting a 15a Fuse Carrier. Ive found a 32A on ebay of the same type, but that is too...

Ah super, I could see the conduit knockouts but didnt know if would have any others. As per the diagram its on a 5A BS3036 on the board, so I need to change that to a 20A. The board is made by MEM. Will a plugin MCB fit, or does it need to be the same brand. Sorry for the ignorance but am...

To dig out my old thread. If I were to use this CU, would it be ok to enter the enclosure clipped direct? What would be the best way to get a couple of T+E in there, drill a hole along the back edge? I appreciate it wouldnt retain its IP rating. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I do like to stick with MK but am happy to deviate for this purpose. Tbh, the cost of the MK 2G RCD socket is enough to send me away from mk this time. It is surface mounted PVC I wanted, clipped direct to keep the cost down. TLC have got a contactum RCD, what...

Hi all, Am looking to buy a dual back box and a 2g backbox (PVC). The backbox is 38mm deep but there isnt a 38mm 2g backbox. I want to sit them almost next to each other so wanted them to be flush. Is there a logical reason to why they are 38mm? They are to go in the garage, the dual...

Thanks for the help. I managed to get hold of my college lecturer who said that I was right with the original pythagorus based formula. The capacitor was taken out of the circuit when we took the measurements. We took voltage across the lamp and across the choke, and then across both. My...

Hi all. Im trying to get my head around some theory based on a fluorescent circuit we did at college. We were taking voltages of the choke and of the lamp (connected in series). We were then asked why the V1 (the choke/inductor) and V2 (the lamp) didn't equal the supply voltage. As I...

I'm just going through some paperwork in preperation for my 204 next week. A question is asking for the reference method for 'cables suspended from or incorperatinf a catenary wire)". I found it in 4A1. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Something else sorry. I will most probably get a plug in breaker. Unfortunately I didn't look for the brand of the CU, although I could ring them up to find it out. I can't find any plugin MCBs on TLC, am I missing something? edit: found em. Thanks :)

That CU infact most probably works out cheaper. A metalclad RCD FCU is about £25-£30 and then I still have to buy another FCU for the lighting. Thanks for your replies.

Hello all, My GFs Grandparents called me up yesterday, they had mowed over their extension lead and lost all the power in the garage. So I went up, worryingly her grandad had started taking face plates off, looking for the problem. I checked the wiring was still in the right terminals...

Just to update. The BG man has been out, unfortunately the same one as before. He went to the pump, turned the speed down to 1 and said done. I wasn't as impressed as he was, I like to fix a problem, not cover it up. He decided to conduct an experiment. We would turn all the radiators on...

I thought he was BS'n because he seemed to over dramatise it, almost pressuring me into accepting a £600 flush, I don't know if they get commission? Maybe he wasn't, I just didn't feel I could trust him. I have tried turning the pump off and on, adjusting the speed (it's even louder on the...

Thanks for replying. We weren't expecting BG to do the flush for free, rather give us the choice of letting another contractor do it. Tbh, the chap seemed to give a lot of BS, I saw him bringing the 'jar' of water from his van upstairs for which I dont have an explanation to why. Can...

Hi All, Firstly I apologise for my lack of plumbing knowledge. We recently were experiencing warm radiators when the central heating was off but the hot water was on. Being part of British Gas' home cover they came out and said the old valve was faulty and replaced it with this one...

May I ask what year you are in? I am just coming to the end of the 2nd year of level 2. We have been told what PAT testing is, but no more. Would be interested if it's something we should have covered. Thanks

Thanks Leccy, Sorry its taken me a few weeks to get back to this post. From what you have said am I to gather I need to pull the dishwasher out, pop the whole side off and look for the brake tank? Thanks again

Hi all, Our Neff dishwasher has broken. Its not getting water inside the dishwasher. You turn it on and you can hear water flowing but nothing is getting actually into it. I've opened up the front plate at the bottom and these are pictures of whats inside. I turned it on while...

From an educational point of view (im in 2nd year of 2330) why does this product have type C MCBs. Wouldnt a type B be a safer solution. I cant think of examples of why you would use a type C in this environment. Can anyone help me out, Thanks

Hi all, I've nearly completed year 2 of my 2330. My girlfriends parents have asked for a new socket to be put in next to the ccu (fuseboard that uses BS3036 fuses) The ccu has been almost boxed in so taking the front off will be hard, if not impossible without pulling away the built in...
