Im afraid I have not got the skills to do that. When I said I did not want to use connector blocks, I was not wanting to have them loose in an enclosure. I wanted something fixed to connect to I have had a look around on google but the options are confussing. Thanks for the replies...

These DIN rail mounted blocks may be the things I think I may be after. I have asked in two wholesalers and they just try to sell me another cu Don't suppose you have any links many thanks

Please forgive my poor description but I am looking for the following I am changing a CU but the cables may be a little short. What I would like is an enclosure to bring the old cables into, terminate them and from there connect new cables to go to off to the new CU. I do not really...

Many thanks skenk I see what you are saying about the sink, and people (electricians) getting hung up on the bonding issue. It could be any metal object, I just thought a sink would be a simple object to use. Your comment The reason for MPB's is not so 'all pipework is at the same...

Kitchens do not require supplimentary bonding but the pipes are at an equipotential due to the Main Bonding. Thats the whole point is it not.

I am finding more and more that I have to explain why main bonding needs to be installed. Why RCDs are needed etc. I want to produce some handouts to customers to explain the reasons behind the regs. So they know whats going on, and that I am not just trying to rip them off... :( I have...

Many thanks for your replies ericmark and sureitsoff I can follow whats going on if I used one of those loft boxes, but i won't be needing to add more tvs. So I am still a little stuck :oops: You say that tv and sat can be combined, so would this work? TV and Sat come into house...

Spurs of a ring Have I been doing it wrong Looking at the red book I have. I have normally spurred of a socket to an FCU but looking at the book is seems that you can only... Spur off from a junction box. Have a FCU connected directly to the ring and spur off that. The...

Two holes drilled today... No blow out for me, thanks to a top tip from this forum, 'turn the hammer off, when you are almost through' The BT guy should read this forum. Mind it could be luck :roll:

I am only a student but this is my understanding. VP / VS = IS / IP 230 / 12 = 4.16 / 0.21 P= V X I 12 X 4.6 = 55.2W (19 X 55.2 = 1048.8W) 1048.8 / 12 = 87.4 I 230 X 0.21 = 48.3W (19 x 48.3 = 917.7W) 917.7 / 230 = 3.99 I The current is high on the...
