Dont bother. Bin the rape alarm and buy a burglar alarm control panel for 30 -40 quid

I'd love to see how you'd terminate 4x 10mm² cables in a shower isolator!!

Errors and Omissions Excepted

Sorry I meant logic plus.. The screws are really crap IMHO on them.. look nice but thats it.. As your in leeds, not that you'll care but Falcon do some BG sockets that are copies of the logic plus and they are quite nice. Price is quite friendly on the back pocket too. David

Looks like youve got a problem then ;) People on here recommend crimps, I wouldnt. Id only recommend replacing the cable, As far as I'm concerned its the only real solution, especially on 6mm² and 10mm² cables. But you know what they say.. Opinions are Like ars$hole$... everyone has one...

Replace the bit of cable from the switch, or are you moving the switch too? how much are you wanting to extend it?

Im sure my spot welder could overload the cable pretty quick! I think its around 1000 - 2000A at 1 or 2v David

No one other than women plan to fit them :D Whats wrong with the MK logic range, other than crap screws. David

I've been caught out in the past by people buying cheap dimmers, I fit 25mm as a minimum for all light switches, and 35mm where possible if its 2/3 gang and possibly 2 way.. 2 mins more chiseling = no return visit. Make sure your cooker isolators are double gang if using 10mm² cable -...

Thats being a bit pedantic, Its still a non qualified electrician asking advice so wheres the difference in that? ;) :D Besides Id rather speak to someone on here, rather than someone that knows nothing about power factor correction, ACCB's, Harmonics etc... Sometimes a large company and...

assuming the earthing and Equpotential bonding is adequate however I'd assume the sunbeds are double insulated. If you are so concerned its heat and wont get a spark in, why dont you move the breakers, leaving a blanking plate between the 63A breakers to see if the air gap removes the...

Cable is large due to VD, however load required is 250A per phase. Probably make sense to terminate in something like Merlin Gerin PowerPact4 and then run a more sensible sized cable to the incomer, having said that I could allways get them to look at a custom enclosure with an MCCB as the...

FWIW, in most comms rooms / data centres the power is provided by radials normally fed in swa, in a mixture of 32A and 16A sockets.. Or at least the ones I work in.. Then throw in the odd TP+N Supply :) Forget chair legs, Have you ever dropped a heavy duty metal coated raised floor...

You wont go wrong with minitran.

Because their isnt sufficient capacity on the busbar trunking, and its also going to be fed via a generator and UPS in the LV switch room, where as the busbar isnt. HTH David

You should really use a rack mount PDU with the sockets.. http://www.videkonline.co.uk/home.asp?page=SubSections&sectionID=153&chapterID=24 ive just thrown a load out as well!! Or you could get your electrician to get a metal clad socket such as...

Neutal and Negative dont mean the same thing! it is AC you know! ;)

Yeah, Theres an electrical riser and a mech riser, This one has rising busbar trunking and the dist boards for the floor installed in here allready. Floor is metal grid, and lighting is provided. David

If we theoretically run a 150mm² 4c LSF XLPE up a building riser, does it, or should it be terminated as a submain in the riser in something like a Merlin Gerin Panel Board with MCCB's or can it leave the riser and then run under the floor and be terminated directly into an ISOBAR 4c? Just...

A spur from a spur is allowed AFAIK as long as it doesnt exceed a set number, maybe old regs Im thinking off though.. As far as Im concerned a spur off a spur or a ring is a source of evil as when people are adding stuff they dont tend to split the ring and check, they just assume its a ring...
