Also, adding to the above post. You didn't mention that you had gone via FCU when taking power from the ring to the fan isolator. Is the the case?

Unless things have changed in the last 18months or so, I did (and passed) C&G 2391 inspection and testing with no other electrical qualificastions at all.

Ebee - start with a 9V PP3 battery on your tongue. If you can take that for a few seconds - try moving on to higher voltages. Two car batteries in series perhaps? :lol:

It is my understanding that a TT supply has to have a 100mA RCD device on the WHOLE installation, usually installed prior to the CU. Although I'm open to any differences of opinion.

On your new cable brown needs to go to switched live, and blue needs to go to neutral, and earth to earth. If this is like this already, check you have 230v on blue and brown at the new light fitting (when it's switched on) to check it's not the new fittings that's at fault, and in fact you...

I suspect that you haven't connected into the first rose correctly. Are there two sets of black wires? If so, one is neutral (which you need to connect to the black [or blue if using harmonized cable]) of your new cable feeding the new light, and the other is actually a switched LIVE. I...

With respect to your father, if he's intending to gain the qualifactions to do this himself (at considerable expense I might add) then he really should be able to tell you what cable you need to install for an oven. If he can't then I suspect you might save a lot of money by paying someone to...

You will need a 30A or 32A dedicated circuit via an isolation switch that is located within 2 metres of the oven. This would normally be wired back to the consumer unit in 6.00mm twin & earth cable. From the isolation switch the cable would then travel to the rear of the oven housing. This...

if it's doing this every two days it sounds to me that you've got a leak somewhere.

My combi (ferroli) slows down the hot rate if the incoming cold water is very cold so to achieve the requested output temperature that has been selected.

I think there's a lesson to be learnt here for all contributors to this particular post!

Just looked at my elec bills. Doesn't seem out of the ordinary - unless I've got a faulty meter too! :roll: We seem to average between 20 - 30 units a day of electricity. We have a four bed house, fridge, two freezers, 9.5kW electric shower - used twice a day. No kids and we both work...

I can't remember what the problem was, but I recall a customer who had a problem with their meter charging them for electricity not used, even when there were no circuits switched on! Turn off all circuits and check that your meter doesn't budge. Bring each circuit on individually. If you...

BAN - is this not notifiable work? :lol:

Ok Softus we get the following: Windows 2000 IP Configuration Host name 1p-cnu3330nd1 Primary DNS suffix pmsl.local Node Type Hybrid IP Routing Enabled No WINS Proxy Enabled No Ehternet adaptor Local Area Connection: Media State...

Is it from Homebase, with two buttons to dim up and down? If so do a search on the home page for 'dimmer' with author 1974stephen. Look at those posts and it will give you further info.

Softus - thanks for the reply, but to sound really stupid......how do you open up a command window? :oops:

I've got two computers that I want to network to be able to share broadband connection and a printer. The only problem is that one of them is my works PC that our IT dept. have restricted what I can do on it. Opening control panel brings up icons to control mouse, display and keyboard-...

Thanks Big Spark - excellent reply. I did mean table 4D2A, but I was looking in the OSG which refers to it as 6E1, but quotes that 7671 reference in blue (which I missed!) So joists and floorboards are classed as insulating materials? I assume that free air means out in the open? But at...

I fully accept that pulling in a 10mm is the best option, but what capacity shower can this cable run at max? And of course there's the infamous Part P to take into consideration now if we start running new circuits in to the CU.
