you don't have to bury armoured cable you can get cable cleats for the armoured cable which you could use to secure the armoured cable to the underside of the deck

ignore that he ain't got a clue wot hes on about :roll: you should be able to move the socket higher because the cables should come down from the ceiling you can split the ring by leaving 1 of the cables at the existing socket then take the other cable to the new socket then just add a 2.5mm...

you now don't need to bond the kitchen sink you used to have to but the regulations have now changed. if the bonding is there already you could just find a screw to attach it to or just cut the cable off altogether either ways ok :D

Hi i have got a hp omnibookxe4500 laptop ad the power socket on the computer is loose and is getting very hot. I think it just needs a new jack the laptop charges ok once you get the plug in the right position. I am confident at soldering components onto a circuit board i have just got a...

just use com and l1 in the landlords keyswitch to override the lighting circuit :D :wink:

yeh thats right with the landlords key switch for the emergancy light i think if i can remember you take a neutral from the board to the neutral of the neon then connect the neutral of the FP200 to that. The live comes from the board to the com of the key switch then the live of the...

yeh thats how you wire the landords overide switch :D you can wire the emergency light like that but i just doubled up the connections in the board just because it was easyer Have you done your AM2 yet :?:

you can but you will find that for the lighting in the bulkhead fitting it will be quite tight so I wired mine like this I took the neutral from the board straight to the bulkhead the live feed from the 6a mcb goes to the com of one to the two way switches then from there the 2 strappers go to...

to wire the landlords key swich all you do is wire up a normal intermediate light switch circuit and then on the intermedite switch just wire the key switch across one set of strappers plugwash you are correct but in the Am 2 you have to wire it so that it doesnt matter what posion any of the...

hi I did my Am 2 In february This year and my results came through about two or three weeks after i did it. I have heard that they don't release the results until they have received payment for the test but I don't know wether thats true because my employer payed for it. Good Luck hope...

Can you carry out a periodic inspection on a house without notifing the planning office or being a member of a compertant persons scheme I think that you can because you aren't actually carrying out any work just inspecting an excisting installation hence not needing to notify could be wrong...

I think that it is about time that there is a ruling about electrics like there is with the gas eg Corgi registration. I just think that the governing bodies ect has gone the wrong way about it. The fact that every electrician who has been qualified for no mater how long is now not "compertant "...

please read other post

Hi Raul As I said in your other post there Is NO way of getting a Neutral from a light switch. If you want to supply a shaver socket you need to get power from the ceiling rose in the room you can get a permeant live and a neutral and earth from there (you can supply a shaver socket...

Did you not read what I had said :evil: A light switch only has a live and earth there No Neutral You should never connect a socket to a lighting circuit because lighting circuits are not designed to take such loads. :!:

Yes thats fine Yes thats fine Your cooker switch with the red neon is a double pole switch you should find that the 6mm cable should just about go inside of the terminals of a single socket outlet so you can just plug the cooker in with a 13 amp fuse installed in the plug.

There is No possible way of doing what you are saying. lighting and socket circuits are two separate circuits. The only way of installing sockets is to spur off an existing socket or lift the floor boards and find the socket circuit and extend that to install your extra sockets

Hi Is the fused spur that you mention supplying anything ? If not you could connect the hob igniter to that with a 3 amp fuse installed. that would then power the hob Then if you have got a cooker outlet connection on the wall you could swap that for a single socket outlet and plug...

most of the wiring is sunken in below the plaster but when addition work or repairs are done when a council tenant is living in the house the policy is not to mess the decoration up. This means that surface wiring is used. when we do full tenanted rewires the tenants get the choice wether they...
