Brilliant - who assessed you

Becky The electrician who carried out the work should have a copy of the original Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), as he is obliged to keep a record of all his work. "The person or persons responsible for the design, construction, inspection and testing of the installation shal...

Seems ok to me. The only thing I would question is the need for an RCD on the basement if none of the sockets can be used to supply equipement outdoors. PCs do have protection against mains spikes this does cause a small amount of current leakage to earth if as you say you have lots of PC...

Did you use the electrician on an informal basis or was he actually working for his employer.

In the absence of seeing the set up and the fact you have to ask such questions the answer is NO

This question gets asked a lot on here and just makes me wonder what's happening in my trade. If a competent electrician was genuinely taken ill half way through a job I feel sure his scheme would step in. A 3 part EIC could be issued with the first spark signing for design and...

Steady on you could have at least said please.

There books and there's info in the wiki on this site BUT ...... The work required to sort your problem is best left to a professional for your own safety. Assuming the cable is the correct size for the shower rating and doesn't need replacing the cost of getting an electrician in will be...

If you haven't got a copy of the Irish equivalent of the on site guide get one. I don't know whether Eire is updating their regs as UKis going over to 17th Ed 1/7/08

You'll get the added benefit of under floor heating in the bathroom as well :D :D

The box is less one brick depth so the only problem I see is effect on structural integrity of wall. Bernard is there a lintel above the box on your garage wall?

I would work out max demand at each CU apply diversity using OSG The total supply demand would be the sum of all the diversity values for each flatlet. It really needs a new 3P supply

Johnny If you'd said you were an apprentice in the first place I think you may have got a more technical answer. Thing is this a DIY site and sometimes it becomes obvious by the nature of the questions that there is a lack knowledge. If you're following an apprenticeship never be...

It's the first Sunday following a full moon after the spring equinox. So it can be between 22nd March and 20th April.

Wait until someone does it to you my friends car had been cloned and used in a robbery. Luckily for him he was 100miles away and the CCTV & credit card evidence proved his statement.

So did you get an EIC for this work, if so, did the inspection and testing carried out flag up any problems that indicated the need for a rewire.

Ask the builder. If you haven't got the means of testing don't assume the cores are wired correctly I've seen the black conductor used as neutral. But as stated they should be sleeved with appropriate colour to comply with regs.

We're not in a perfect world and a 45A 3036 fuse will take 100A for 10,000 secs ~3hours. According to BS7671. You need to ascertain the reason for the smell. Loose connection is more likely the cause unless you are cooking the fuse. I believe some of the older CUs had a limit of 30A...

Switch it off for a a couple of minutes then switch on and leave for 2 minutes and see if it goes off

It is likely to cause something like this or worse!!!
