Is the thermal insulation to the side or covering the cable? If cable clipped direct and not groupedor or run through thermal insulation and on breaker can carry up to 47A. Your breaker will carry a little more than it's rating without tripping.

Good Morning b-a-s. I don't think i'm being inconsistent, surely you can accept there is a fundamental difference between an appliance with a plug on it and an appliance that is terminated to an outlet-plate. When something is disconnected in this way, do we not have a duty of care to...

Because I care :shock: Oh bamboo! boo-hoo! okay for bedroom, studies, front room and giant pandas :lol: For Kitchens If your tilling use an anti slip tiles on floors, you can use soft cushion type (kardene? make it but not cheap) or aqua laminates. Unless your really posh and real wood...

If Matty was fitting a worktop, and needed to unplug a microwave and a toaster and a kettle, would you advise him to worry about whether the previous installer did the socket circuit OK? No! I won't advise him on that as he has not terminated any conductors nor touched the installation. But...

I'd be more concerned about where to cooker isolation switch is, in relationship to the cooker if a hob was above it! and socket-outlet at the other side.

The building regulation state that you can exchange electrical accessories and equipment like for like without notification. So if you was disconnecting any appliance then reconnecting to the same connection (that's without relocating/moving the original connection point). In theory okay...

Newboy; likely to be a very basic course by the sounds of what you have mentioned and could be a good introduction for someone looking to take up a trade but with no experience or knowledge at all. I'd give it a miss and go straight to level 2. I think you'd be wasting a year by going on it.

yeh thanks Nik, extra homework on your behalf :(

Newboy 1996, If your intending to take your 2330, Level 1 does not really exist a little like Kung Fu Panda (sorry guys he's no Santa Claus) :D Your may have to cover some menial academic skills as a year 1 apprentice, but generally if your not going down the apprentice way, you'll sit what...

LABC requirements for inspection and test of work, What normally happens is, you notify them of intended work, they inspect at first fix and at second fix where either by them or a third party employed by BCs test procedures be carried out, then a certificate of compliance the to building...

alanthomaswatson, if you are looking to gain some knowledged regarding the installation and the guidelines laid down by BS7671. I'd consider purchasing The Electricians Guide to the 17th edition of IEE by John Whitfield, covers 17th and part p, will also be worth visiting tlc-direct.co.uk...

sounds like you,ve had a bad time bananaman, not read your original post so excuse me for being ignorant or covering old ground but have you contacted the electricians scheme provider regarding your issues?

bananaman, That's a very sad indictment and to tar all electricians with the brush is a little annoying. Hey you've had a bad experience, have we not all had one of them. Best means of finding honesty and quality is by word of mouth, i'd rather use someone who was recommend to me than someone...

Hopefully your training, provider will give you lots of opportunity to test during your course work the last two practical assignment will need a good knowledge of the using of the meters. I was lucky that during my training they let me go in on the days/evenings that I was not officially...

Argument well put, I don't know the answer but I still feel that it should.

If your going to college. I believe they use the publication; Basic Electrical Installation Work Level 2 City and Guilds ,2330 Technical Certificate by Trevor Linsey, to run along side the course work for level 2 2330 and the level 3 version for you guessed it level 3. If you have not...

b-a-s, I do get it and understand how it works, just feel it should be done another way. Regarding the EIC not being a statutory doc meaning it has not been passed in parliament as a legal document never said it was illegal :!: I am aware the Electricity at works act is a statutory document...

Having your upstairs and downstairs sockets on different breakers may be a problem if they are currently on one circuit, same with the lights, so this could need looking in to a little deeper, likely a PIR worth doing to make sure the current installation is healthy enough to be worth just...

So now lets review: So EIC/schedules of inspect and test results filled in by competent person( done all qualifcations 2330, 2391/2 2382 etc...and registered with domestic installers scheme, full scope) who installed the system. This is not legal doc, though complies to BS7671 :D...
