Is a 5/6 lighting circuit not quite as good as a 6/6 one? :D

This is a repeat post, the topic already exists further down the page. I should have told the OP to have the thread moved instead of reposting in Electrics Uk.

TTC, I think MickkNipfler has left thanks to Spark123 in the wrong thread.

I wonder what Wes thinks. :lol: This thread's a runner isn't it?

He should have it sorted by now, this thread is 5 years old. Watch out for the date when replying to posts :wink:

I would say you need less computers on each circuit. Try posting in "electrics uk" there are plenty of guys there who know more about circuits with high leakage currents.

While I agree that the cheesewire method of stripping T&E cable isn't the best I don't believe in this stretching the cpc business. I didn't believe it when I was told about it 20 odd years ago and I don't believe it now. In all my time installing, maintaining and testing T&E installations I...

Spot on :wink:

The bottom of the MK Sentry is quite flimsy so Bernards method is probably best. But it is possible.

Not only is it unacceptable for the reasons Mfarrow mentioned but it looks terrible too.

Happy Friday 13th RF. :D Sounds like more of a typical day for me than any of that Homeserve rubbish. Some days I can drive hundreds of miles and not even get any work done. Still wears you out though.

A few others have mentioned insects. Cornflies are a real nuisance as far as smoke detectors are concerned. Don't know why they are so attracted to them, it's usually light sources. The little blighters are always at my laptop screen. :evil:

So you did Bernard :D I only caught the question by matt1e tonight. Should have read the full thread.

Ooh, That reminds me. There's some lovely cold bottles in the fridge!

Would be best to use the terminals with contacts in them.

Those rcbos don't fit the qos board. Most electrical wholesalers can get hold of the one you want but make sure you're sitting down when they give you the price :shock:

I regulary use the Wago lever type connectors for continuity testing on PIRs. They are quick and make a good connection, no twisting then having to straighten conductors or screwing/unscrewing connector blocks. I think they are great for testing and fault finding, not sure about them for...

I have a bush king which is about 20 years old, doesn't fit the modern lighter gauge bushes too well. Still ok stripping out older stuff. Don't know whether the new ones are a different size.
