Are you referring to this thread ebee? http://www.iee.org/Forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=205&threadid=8770&enterthread=y Any why did he go to court? Not because it was unsafe through poor workmanship (although it may have been). No he was charged with failing to give a Building...

TLC do an excellent dimmer guide here: - http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/DataSheets/Systems/DimmerGuide.htm

How did you test the RCD? You pressed the test button and it worked but did you do anything else?

Let the college kid work it out for himself! Far too many kids won't lift a finger (or even read a book) to get the answer. He could use Google but he's too idle to do that! He'll never make a good apprentice if you spoonfeed him all his life.

Yes you can test it, assuming it is 30mA and providing supplementary protection for direct contact. Using your RCD tester apply I(delta)n x 0.5 and it shouldn't trip. Then change the phase angle and repeat. Then apply I(delta)n x 1 and it should trip within 200ms. Then change the phase...

Funnily enough B-A-S is right. What were you expecting, a complete course in how to use a multimeter? You don't own one and your technical descriptions are vague. Try being concise and tell us exactly what you want.

Agreed, but sadly an all too-common occurrence on this forum.

The Wizard, you can become a cowboy without any training though. Just think, no outlay on college fees, no outlay on a self-certification scheme, no outlay on test equipment, no outlay on public liability insurance. From your perspective it's cheaper and quicker!

Yes, you were too mean to employ an electrician. You tried to do it yourself to save money and now you've discovered that you don't have enough knowledge. Enjoy the dark!

If you don't know what this is all about, then start a new thread and ask. This post is not aimed at you and it is not here to provide an explanation about Part P. Please don't hijack this thread by moving it into a different direction. This post is for people who have seen this scheme...

The government have launched a website under an initiative called the Better Regulation Executive Here's a quote from the site: - “The Government wants your help in tackling unnecessary regulation. We've talked to business and voluntary sector organisations about how best to do this, and...

Because you're kind enough to care and you took the trouble to make it easier to read! However you forgot that some won't listen and won't read more than 9 words. BTW That's why the "Sun" newspaper never has a sentence with more than 9 words. They understand their marketplace.

Since you ask, look at page 51 in the OSG.

I always look at the duplicate thread on screwfix: - http://www.screwfix.com/talk/thread.jspa?threadID=23605&tstart=0

For future reference: On Site Guide, Table 7.2A, page 50 However if you are a student doing C&G 2330, I didn't tell you that and you are going to have to find out for yourself.

Clitheroe, have a search for the following term: - "borrowed neutral"

Read the link I embedded chaps. The NIC will accept a 2360 part 2 from 1993 onwards: - http://www.niceic.org.uk/partp/partprequire.html True, that's also mentioned on the URL link and something I said in my first reply.

Sparkybird, you are right that 2330 has replaced 2360 but it is still possible to finish 2360 at PART TWO level. This is to allow those with 2360 part one to finally get finished. Some colleges are still taking students for 2360 part two. The list however is getting shorter by the minute as...

I am assuming that you want to set up on your own and self certify your work. You need to satisfy one of the certifying agencies (NICEIC, ECA, NAPIT, BSI or ELECSA) that you are a competent person and that you hold a recognised qualification. The minimum qualification for most schemes is...
