Is this portable building on a caravan park?

Now here's the view of a chap in Bracknell who has thought about what Part P means to himself as a sole trader and to his customers: - http://www.handymac.co.uk/PartP.asp Nothing to do with me but I like his attitude.

Ah well, yer tries yer best! :oops:

Agreed that black conduit is UV resistant and it is a good idea for Careful_Bodger to install it since he's already used PVC twin & earth. However I'm aware that others read these threads to get ideas and tips. There may be some who are considering using PVC twin & earth externally and I'm...

Careful_Bodger, any form of capping would only provide mechanical protection but your main problem is temperature. The PVC twin & earth cable becomes brittle at 0 degrees C. Since yours is used externally (naughty naughty!) it will be subject to cold temperatures at night. Especially during...

Willie, we understand the lights don't work. We need you to explain in more detail because you keep repeating yourself. Your inability to tell us precisely what is wrong is significant. That tells us that you may not understand what you are doing. We're not asking where the lights don't...

I think you're trying to say Earth Fault Loop Impedance BAS (and others) are slightly suspicious that you don't know what you're talking about and are using semi-technical language to mask your ignorance. Sadly you're using the terms incorrectly and BAS is inviting you to clarify your...

Good point plugwash. So do you suggest that our chap here uses flex then? :?:

No it's not about preserving "mystique", it's about common sense. Neon testers rely on a resistor to stop you getting a shock. If you feel that they're so good, why don't you press it against the live wire and use your tongue as the contact point just to see if it lights, hey it's even...

There isn't a huge difference between 15th and 16th editions and you could pass a City & Guilds 2381 exam with a little bit of revision. However you must really get out of the habit of calling the wiring regulations, the sixteenth edition. The British Standards Institute has taken over the...

In case you are lost in this thread, here's a picture: -

Regulation 547-03-03 2.5mm^2 if sheathed or mechanically protected 4.0mm^2 is no mechanical protection.

Panjandrum, why do you think a multi-meter is a "specialist" piece of equipment? It's as basic and necessary as a screwdriver!

On-Site Guide Appendix 8 (page 153) Final radial circuits using 16A socket-outlets complying with BS 4343 (BS EN 60309-2) (Industrial Sockets) "The overcurrent protective device is to have a rating not exceeding 20A"

TraineeSpark, read Appendix 1 of the On-Site Guide (page 84) - all will become clear.

2381 is an exam you sit as an individual. A "company" cannot sit the 2381 exam. Someone inside the company has to have the 2381 qualification. The person holding the 2381 qualification is known as a Qualified Supervisor, who must be a full-time principal or employee of the company. The...

Yeah, what colour is it? :lol:
