Providing it's hard wired and not a socket-outlet okay. The supp bonding will be made via the metal plate across the pipe work underneath the boiler this will be terminated inside the boiler

First signs of logic Cooker isolated prior to disconnection, whilst isolating yeh breaker looks okay for cooker output and cable right size. Proved circuit is dead and disconnected cooker from outlet point. Removed the cooker as an obstruction did what ever needed to be done. Cooker back...

Hooray :D and thanks for the nice polite epilogue. I do a lot of my work as a volunteer and for good causes. I don't think you would, you'd spend to much time trying to make a point over a trivial matter and as an outcome the job would take longer and the customer would not only be penalised...

I never said I would change anything just assure the circuit was as it should be, if it wasn't. I'd inform the householder/customer and take it from there. Can't be leaving someone without their yorkshires

That's taken from my original reply to posted question, which bas has a problem with. Nothing illogical or inconsistent about it, as a responsible person I don't have a problem assuring this circuit is safe before reconnecting the cooker. I'm going to give it a dead test anyway(sorry meant...

same as ref meth A of 17th

No it's right, when running cables through conduit/trunking again factors and calculation are made so there is space in the conduit so the cable can dissipate heat. You can't go cramming 45 lengths of cable into 16mm conduit. You should leave 45% of it empty. If you have osg Appendix 5 covers this.

Is that a fair price for them?

If you clip your cable so it is touching inner wall and not covered by thermal insulation more heat can be disipated.

If the cable was routed using conduit as containment and this containment was not wall mounted but routed through a stud wall that was thermal insulated.

No, providing the installation had not been messed with in between. Maybe I'm illogical, why do we test circuit is dead then re-prove the V indicator But we are talking about a cooker that needs to be reconnected via terminal points! Not a plug in

the thermal insulation will prevent heat dissipating from the cable, this is why factor Ci is used. The regulation state whenever possible cable should not be covered by thermal insulation, but due to heat loss through lack of cavity wall,ceiling and loft insulation is near impossible. So...

Good Morning b-a-s what sort of mood are you this fine/not so fine morning. This is where I stand on the debate My opinions has not wavered any. I would only plug the appliance in if I believed it to be safe, no I would not be getting out my screwdriver and meters to give the appliance and...

The cable should be clipped on it's vertical run 300/400mm, Ref meth c then calculate for thermal insulation this will depend distance the cable runs through it.

If it is routed through thermal insulation, current carrying capacity will reduced according to the distance it runs through it anything over 500mm and it will be halved so 47A becomes 23.5A and a breaker should then be used to supply no more than 23.5A or the cable size will need increasing...

You can have training in part p, but register as competent.

What i'd do is install kitchen and leave the kicker board plinth that runs under cabinets off and when you install the floor just tuck them underneath the cabinets up to supporting legs then place kicker back on above. So no unsightly cuts, nice tidy job. :D That would also save money on...

b-a-s, We see things different, Of course I don't check polarity and fuse ratings of plug tops and the health of the circuit prior to putting the kettles or toasters on. I will make an on the spot assessment though and if it looks unsafe, I'd then reconsider whether I want toast with my tea...

If you check on the boxes or in-store display, it will tell you if suitable for Kitchens. I normally go with the ones that are suitable for bathrooms for kitchens. Does cost a little more but my missus likes spilling things. Normally wine but my tea has been thrown about a time or two :(

What output has the appliance?
