Love the fan!!!! must have thought "IP rated fan" and forgot to think "mmmm IP rated FCU???" Any certificate for it???

I still prefer the oppportunity to fall off the ladders :lol:

yes this is possible, if you do not understand how the proposed works is wired then I suggest you contact an electrician

CANNOT imagine that all the cable is actually buried in the concrete!!! There must be some form of service access. Anyhow, the circuit may or may not recover, it is anyones guess. Were the 'low' readings for Insulation Resistance? These will be 'low' if there is water penetration, the...

I'm with Rob, that is as bad as i've seen, and yep that really is re-wire time. What happens is that the plastisciser leaches out and eventually the insulation drys out cracks and creates shorts. If your landlord is refusing to pay for an electrician to call round then you could get a...

I woulkd go for the interlinked circuits, good luck finding that one!! Let us know

Now assuming that when you had the CU up grade it has been certified and installed to current BS7671. As long as none of the metallic parts are extraneous conductive parts then they should not require bonding. HOWEVER!! there is no reason why not to include supplementary bonding, at the...

Bit unusal, have been asked to install an extractor fan with timer in bathroom, thing is it is loopin/out at the switch in singles. The switched live then runs to a JB which then in turn feeds lights(spots!) My thought is Single from perm. live to TP Isolator and 2core & earth from JB to...

Thank you Click-sure!!!!

YOu could replace the re-wireable fuses with those,it is a notafiable job by the way and will require certification!!! BUT that board is ancient, don't be tight treat you and your loved ones to a board that will provide RCD protection on every circuit

Firstly, you are using 3 core & earth from the light to the isolator then to the fan are you not?? If you are then are you SURE you have the correct connections at the light?? and at the fan? You should have recieved a little diagram sheet with your TP isolator. Here is a wiring diagram...

Johnny, it 'claims' to be classII in the advert, but you know I'm wondering as well. Metal fitting like that to be classII you would expect a transformer wouldn't you??

Let's hear it for the batton lamp holder!!!!!!

Aye BAS, but i generally just make suggestions and offere some advice. But on this occasion I felt it better to say what I think and try and save someone from a TERRIBLE mistake Need i say more???

Cannot spend hours reading this however it was explained to us at college that it does not matter what wire is used for what as long as it is correctly identified used sleeving (or tape if you've run out!!) Quite simply, Line = Brown, Neutral = Blue Green/Yellow = cpc/earth...

Why not go the whole hog and have colour changing downlighters!!!!! They look luverly!!!!!! Honestly!!! The things some people think will look great, then realise it is dreadful!!! The remote will end up in the bath, you will struggle to use it from the bath to the cupboard!! How...

Why not just replace the old board with a new Dual RCD (Hi Integrity) or use RCBO's?? The Switched fuse before the CU or before the meter will allow you to isolate the entire installation but it is not a 'requirement' as far as I know, you could call the DNO to remove the fuse, or they may...

Spoke to customer yesterday, he is getting a chap from HSE to come in and advise. I have arranged for a specialist industrial sparks to come. The good news is the customer had drawn up a plan for all the plant!! Hurrah. I will be overseeing (and getting some experiene with the industrial...
