easier to understand than 16th edition :P

with the EFLI, what i was getting at was what RF lighting said... the earth leakage current should just go down to earth, it shouldnt build up a voltage high enough to give an electric shock. the EFLI might have been acceptable for disconnection of the breaker in a fault, but not sufficient to...

if the CPCs become live, that makes the metal parts live too i dont think disconnecting CPCs while you work on it is the resolution, since you shouldnt be getting a shock off CPC's i think you should improve EFLI at supply earth so the potential doesnt build up, preventing electric...

hehe true not that hard to cut circle with pad saw ... but if you cant do it straight away then its a time waster to practice, like u said

i usually have a bunny visit me at easter, not seen an angel yet

we use those, but its seems a bit expensive for a diyer who is only going to use it "one off" cheaper to get out a compass and cut a hole with a pad saw ( bought for as little as £1 or maybe less )

so its ok for him to put an electric heater or a shower of 40amps in the bathroom but not to change lights of 6amps A B and C are sperate scenarios.. its ok to add a socket, a light etc its not ok to work in special locations or special installations

what does lights or sockets have to do with it ? he cant carry out electrical work in special locations

DESCRIPTIONS OF WORK WHERE NO BUILDING NOTICE OR DEPOSIT OF FULL PLANS REQUIRED ......... 2. Work which - (a) is not in a kitchen, or a special location, i think a shower is in a special location.

since you think its a radial, what Amp rating is the breaker protecting the circuit ?

i think it usually a poor earth that gives low voltage readings .. not sure

as friday said..if your oven is a combination of a "Oven Switch and Socket" then it should be protected by an RCD. If the supply is feeding an oven on its own, then no RCD is needed because the general operation of the oven will often trip the RCD thats whzt the NICEIC say, which i would...

are you sure you moved the correct neutrals ? cant think of anything else unless youve shared neutrals between circuits, 1 on RCD side and 1 on non-RCD side... which is really not allowed

if there is 2 cables in one breaker ... then just get a continuity meter on both the lives ... if there is continuity its a ring, no continuity is 2 radials only try this when you have switched off the board at main breaker or if your supply has an isolator the size of the breaker/fuse...

Not much to do with Part P but it might have some relevance... Old colour cable is not allowed to be used now, only EU harmonsied colours should be used. True or False ? You can use old colours on old colour installations, aslong as its not complete rewires ? Fact not opinion...

"If" RCD is used to provide protection... then the "Recommended" value shouldnt be above 200ohms something like that ... dont have OSG to hand

what isnt connected to your fuse board ? PME has the earth with it, thats why you dont have an earth rod

competence comes with experience not reading from a book and answering multiple choice 7yrs is an unwritten rule ive heard

electricity board, its their property
