    Maths assessment on course?

    I'm on second year of 2330 and have had to brush up on stuff like algebra, Sin/Cos/Tan, percentages, and generally equations so that you know how to work Ohms law. It is virtually all that was covered in the old 'O' level maths, but I am too old to comment on the new GCSE's

    Consumer unit tripping

    Its definitely a TN-S system...ex-coucil house about 1960's construction. But think the earthing is 10mm not 16mm so looks as though that may need a look at too. Will double check that though. Dont know when the re-wiring was done but think it was some time ago, and the previous guy (a housing...

    Long story and probably even longer responses, but here goes... (am currently on second year of 2330, so am not qualified, but am "sort of" competent!! I also have access to qualifed sparks when necessary, so please no lectures on Part P etc) Friday afternoon the electric hob tripped the...
