Hello, Firstly I apologise if this is in the wrong section but I decided it really was more to do with the electric set up as opposed to plumbing. Secondly I will not be attempting this on my own without professional help but being a bit of a saddo and being interested I do like to...

With regards to having to split the busbar into 3 wouldn't it just simply need to be shortened and just have 2 pieces. One as present and then one from the new RCD to the MCB's not under protection. the main switch otherwise would just have one prong of busbar as it wouldnt be connecting to...

Hello, Firstly I realise from various posts that the terminology above isn't always liked so apologies but think its the best way of explaining what I want to know. I have a question regarding a board I bought some time ago which I want to have used to replace my old CU with. I have no...

Thanks Veglen really appreciate it.

Firstly thanks very much Chri5 and Veglen. If you have time just a couple more things Chri5 where I come from inside through the external wall and into the back of the 20mm term box do I just drill a hole in it for the cable and put it through? without any protection for the cable going...

I have an outside socket that runs from the consumer on its own dedicated circuit (radial) under the RCD protection. The sockets damaged (cracked) so I have a new one to replace it. Its going in the same position etc and I am confident about connecting it all up but I am concerned about the...

Thanks guys for the answers I think I will run it again. Out of interest on the accessability point. I am sure that my smoke alarms have JB's (I've just seen them!), they are wired into the CU on a seperate circuit on their own 6A MCB (so this seems to comply with regs generally but again...

GaryMo thanks for answer and yes it will be protected by 30mA RCD - the lighting circuit is already protected at CU. Cable run is in safe zone i.e directly vertical up to ceiling above wall light fitting under floor to JB. The JB will be available for inspection as it runs to the hallway...

I have a wall light situated in the lounge end of my through lounge dining room and want to put a new wall light also in the dining room end. simply connected off the existing wall light (switch to operate both lights). I have just run out of cable trying to make this run in one length of...

once again many thanks

JohnD if you are still there I can find a cable gland, in Screwfix but not a conduit connector are these basically conduits to run the cable in from the hole in the wall to the socket? If I were to come straight into the back of the new socket presumably I would not bother with either of...

thanks JohnD much appreciated will look out those gizmos. Thanks again

Couple of weeks ago made my first post about an outside socket which is damaged. I wanted to replace it (its on its own circuit 16A MCB under RCD protection in CU so believe that is all ok). I asked about the IP rating I needed and was told IP56 would be the minimum. Now I am in posession...
