Yes, there's no problem running cable both horizontally and vertically so long as they are within the safe zones. Remember that when the chases are filled in you won't know where the cables are, well you might since you installed them :lol: but other people won't, hence the reason for...

That's what you get for wearing that awful bathing suit. If you had worn something sensible, things would have worked out :lol:

Carry on reading the thread, it explains it all there... 5. Once uploaded, click the IMG Code box and it will say "copied" 6. In the DIYnot editor, right click and select paste and it'll paste in the link to the picture stored on photobucket.

Correct. You don't need an RCD main switch for a TN-S earthing arrangement. You can either replace it with a standard 100A DP switch or leave it as it is so long as the switch is still functional. Remember that replacing the RCD will mean the main fuse will need to be removed (unless you...

Fitting a standard 100mA RCD will probably not make any difference, what you need is a time delayed (S-type) RCD. You should protect every circuit with the 100mA TD RCD and then fit 30mA protection for those circuits that require it - sockets likely to supply outdoor equipment, showers and...

What did they expect after cutting off the plug? Muppets :roll:

Yeh sorry. I forgot to mention that it wasn't just a case of moving the decimal in all cases. I was trying to point out that where the decimal is placed is a good indication of whether you have made a cock-up along the line :lol:

If you don't want the switch to control the light then go for it, otherwise: Take a length of t&e from the consumer unit to the switch, and another from the switch to the light. Join the neutrals at the switch with a terminal block. Connect the live from consumer unit into the common...

Which if you look, you will see equates to the number of places the decimal point has moved. If you had 1.648 x 10 ^ 3: 1.648 > 16.48 > 164.8 > 1648. If it had been 1.648 x 10 ^ -3: 1.648 > 0.1648 > 0.01648 > 0.001648

Nope, its the name given to a chord that when played causes you to make a face like Jade Goody. Or is that A minger? :wink: Damn this chord theory lark!

So was I :lol:

The disco lights I installed come on and the frisky old dear starts break-dancing.

It is up the the installer to determine maximum demand and account for any allowable diversity. Whether the MD after diversity is still low enough will depend on what loads the existing circuits feed. Not all circuits can have diversity applied - instant water heaters are one example (showers...

Diversity :wink: Not all the circuits will be drawing full load at all times.

What model is it? I know that one of the kustom practice amps has a preamp tube, and if that is knackered it will cause excessive noise.

That is correct. You only need to be competent to fill out an EIC/MWC. They have nothing to do with Part P, any qualifications or any of the self-certification schemes but it is a requirement of BS7671. Again that is true. If you are not a member of a self-certification scheme you can not...

You will need to open up the single gang switch and see what wires are available. You probably won't have a neutral so you will need to take a feed from somewhere else if you want the light to work.

You're in the wrong forum, you need the Psychic Electricians forum. Down the hall, 2nd door on the left, ask for Bob, he'll treat you right :wink:

MK obviously think that inside the lid is a good place too, as that is where the instructions state they should be and MK also put 3 raised borders on the lid that are conveniently the same size as the labels supplied... (shame that every time I fit the labels they are always wonky though :cry: )
