Yes Yes a 32 amp MCB normally Night storage heater are normally wired on separate circuits backed by a 16 amp MCB ,these are normally in a separate cu, to the normal house circuits cu ie, lights,sockets,cooker etc. __________________ moderator edited to correct quote :wink:

Install sat /digital grade . It is perfectly ok for normal tv. Yes it has better shielding,than normal coax.

From what you describe you need a dimmer switch that is compatable with low voltage lighting . If you take your ceiling light down there should be a transformer in the back of it ,there should be some information on this . This would hopefully inform you if it is of a dimmerable variety as...

Look in the for reference at the top of the posts

Do you only have 1 cable at each light ?

I got called out to a school recently to upgrade it's bonding after this had happened Supply was, 3phase for night storage heating afternoon boost, total heating load 48kw + normal load of 15kw there about Lost neutral on the over head supply 16mm bonding cable became like a 1 bar...

What type of supply do you have? Can you post a picture of the fuse gear and mains incoming supply? This will determine the need for RCD'S RCD'S are not always required to comply with the IEE regs regarding showers , however they are an added safety for protection against electric shock in...

A shower does not need to be on an RCD if the relevant earth loop impedance is satisfied to provide disconnection in relation to the fuse/mcb characteristics. It is though always a good idea for added safety, but not a must.

From your description you may have an old voltage trip[ quote]ts a big black single switch with a small yellow test button on it. Can you post a picture? Do any earth cables go to the device? Does it operate if you push the yellow button? If it is a voltage tip it will need to be replaced...

what type of cable should be used for wiring mains smoke alarms. They should be wired off one local lighting circuit using 1.0mm2 6242y cable for the supply in to the first smoke alarm and interconnected using 1.0mm2 6243y cable. also should an isolater switch be added for a toilet...

I hate MK and the other rubbish listed above as low end. The MCB'S above are all the same , the prongs once removed from a squareD MCB (flip the top off and unscrew them) leave same profile MCB, the only difference i can find is in the cost. Probably come out of same factory With regards...

Thats quiet a statement, can you qualify it ?

But only when installing in insulation, not a void

Cheers

- You do not isolate the earth with any switch in a fixed installation normaly and thats why most switches are double pole!!!!

Take the connection plate that the cable goes to off to inspect the terminals , if you have L1,L2,L3, N and earth it is 3ph probably,however you might be able to install links between L1,L2,L3 to turn it into single phase you could be in luck and it could be dual ,you did say 240v was on the...

If you don't mind the look affix some mini trunking to the ceiling along one edge of the kitchen. Mini trunking size MT 3 this should give enough room. In line with your lights and the right side of any joists drill a 20mm hole through the back of the trunking and ceiling, then you can feed a...

Have you enquired to your REC about fitting isolation swich

From your description the blue should be connected into the bottom left, it sounds like a D.P switch ,this then should totaly disconnect the outside light when switched,with regards it not working have you checked that the lamp is seated in the fitting ,sometimes the end caps do not make contact...

4 x24amps =96amps Thats a lot of load for one phase.
