please don't think i'm trying to argue with you FWL and obviously i'm not going to do this but would the following be fair to say: In terms of theory (not good practice, in complience with regs etc..) Wiring lighting circuits in a ring, would increase the load capisity of the circuit and...

generally speaking, will a 500v or 1000v megger test destroy/damage anything accidently left connected to the circuit? I assume it would destroy electronic equipment, what about fridges/freezers etc. What about the fuses in videos for example. I know it's not to be recommended but in...

thanks for the replys, no these concrete slabs are lifted into place with a crane. The legrand i was thinking of are the units where you can fit individual switches, dimmers etc. into a front plate which can be got in 1,2,3,4 gang etc.

Q1. Are legrand a good make? Q2 Whats the story with domestic wiring in houses which have concrete upstairs floors (i.e large slabs lifted in when the house is being built) How are the cables got upstairs, are the floors chased? Sounds like a hell of a lot of chasing. Does round conduit have...

YES!!! I saw this in two semi-detached houses in Bray Co. Wicklow! Thanks for the reply. What about by garage and spur query?

Any 'practical tips' for what to do when a socket screw (M3.5) breaks in the flush mounting box and your left with a 'bit of screw' stuck in the box! Also what do you call this: it's like an M3.5 screw with the head cut off and a tapped M3.5 tapped hole in place of the head. I would imagine...

Just two things i was wondering about, If an earth fault occurs in my garage, the breaker (Type B) on the garage board trips, as it should, however the MCB in the house CU which is protecting the SWA supplying the garage also trips despite being larger (rated). would it be permissible (or even...

Thank you for your swift response, although i am not c.k. despite the fact that he appears to be replying in my name however he/she is managing it. I don't think he knows himself; he does not come across as having a high aptitude level! So would it be fair to say that there are no set values...

I have noticed some catalogues stating very different ratings for cable depending on whether the cable is surface mounted, installed in conduit, buried etc. I thought that 2.5mmsq was rated for 27A full stop but a table in this catalogue shows that it can carry up to 33A (i think) in certain...

I think the question is the same. But you haven't really answered it. What did you think i was talking about

Br & FWL_engineer, ye are probably the most knowledgeable people here and the guys I would love to spend a day with! However there are a few terms being used which i don’t understand and perhaps if either of you get a chance you might answer some of them :) (a) faulty power Tx (b)...

Something I always wondered about was how the emergency 112 system operates, where do you actually get through to, how do they know where the nearest fire brigade for example is?

What happens when the fire brigade arrive at a serious house fire in relation to electricity. Does it have to be disconected first? What about in factorys etc.

Our dishwasher makes a noise when it is draining (i think) as soon as you switch it on and several times throughout the cycle. It sounds like there is a load of little balls or something loose in the bottom. Filter clean Whirlpool Dishwasher about 1yr old. Thanks
