Cannot believe you could not find a registered spark in Essex who could not do that job and Test and Certify it.!!! You have paid the price in more ways than one. dead simple, 1 spark does and signs his work off, not someone elses

Transformers are a pain in the derrier, unless installed correc tly then they pop when it is least convenient. Some people say they give a better quality of light. Personally good quality 240v spots are the better option and choosing the right bulbs for them helps. But a Steve says, the...

A customer i have worked for for a while now has recently moved units. The new unit has no electrical supplies, his requirements are 3 phase and single phase. 3 phase will include a forklift charger, Milling machine, 2 Welders a metal saw and eventually a punch down press. i need to...

Cheers for that Lec, nice table, is that specific to CMP? Will look at the front tomorrow.

What a load of ****e Rob!! You must have been ****ing yourself when you looked up there. Lucky the ceiling is still up!!! What would have been so wrong with poping a few pilot holes in??

I have been asked to connect a charger, cannot find any information on it. I need to know how many amps per phase it draws or better still what size 3phase MCB to use. The customer bought it of EBay :roll: No legend plate :roll: :roll:

Hey, really good point there lads, the spots are for the living room first floor flat, cables in the loft, no new switch drop or cables to be buried in a wall so, agreed, no need for RCD protection, thou it would be preferable in my opinion. Will have to eat some humble pie, mind he is on about...

I went to look at enstalling some down lighters today, the customer is an ex-electrician. When i told him that if he wanted to install downlighters he would either need a cu that provided rcd protection (he has a wylex rewireable) or that I would need to add a smaller unit to provide the RCD...

And there's still a lot to be said for a run of T4 fittings behind a pelmet under all the wall cupboards. BAS you forgot to say the ladies love plinth lighting!!!!! :roll:

Where's it for Rob if those circuits don 't need RCD protection. Must say the CU does look a tad mishapen but can definitely see your handy work in there by the tidyness of it all.

To be honest with you, as an electrician, I would never fit electric heating unless there was no other option, the heat level is rubbish and the running costs are high. You would be better having gas central heating installed, provides good heat more economically, is attractive to potential...

Had PMT the day i did mine!!! There were alots of questions on Fairgrounds and Marinas when I did mine!!!! Oh and I was doing the written Level 3, Practical Assessment for Level 3 the same week over 2 days!!!

They could argue that by cutting the plug off you will have invalidated the warranty. Where the plug needs to reach is this all 'out of sight'? If so then just make a hole big enough to pass the plug through. If it is going to be 'on show' then there is not much of an alternative but to...

Listen up, Taylor is giving you sound advice here!!! It is not as simple as- big cable into CU -pick a fuse- get a switch -put all together- cook tea. you got a bargian (hopefull) so splash on a sparky

Gave the price on 29th january, started on the 1st of Feb. These people are in the construction industry, they know the score!!! Anyway went and had a chat, they are getting the plasterer back to 'find' his screw ups. Then myself and a colleague will go and complete. I had suggested...

Ok trawled the Red Bible absolutely no mention of the need for MEB's to be one single conductor, however it does refer to being mechanically sound and so if i were to find a MEB's joined using a 'screwed' connection then I would probably Code2 it and reccomend replacing or as a minimum having...

Yes you could, however if I was to make you run, for few hours, whilst whilst out at work all day wouldn't you become hot, tired and eventually have to stop?? We can all forget to turn things off. What you could do is change the fan for one with a humidistat!!! Then you keep the benifit...

The continuous bonding one was REALLY hammered into us at college, i'm sure it is covered in the regs somewhere!! Off to get mine out the van now!!! As for inaccessible bonding clamp if the resistance test was acceptable at the clamp pin and on the pipe (with the bond disconnected at...

i think you should get a electrician in Plextor, signs of burning and melting are not good. A replacement RCCD are freely available and shouldn't cost to much, you should use the same manufacturers equipment as it is type tested. Unless you really know what you're doing then call a sparky a...

red to red green to green yellow to white black to blue are you sure they are all in use?
