Conny, I am a NAPIT member and what you have stopped needs reporting. It is sub standard and his next customer will not be fortunate enough to protected by you. Crap like this shouldn't be happening or be allowed to be swept under the carpet.

Can someone clear up my interpretation of floating voltage / floating earth please. I am so confused I can't even write my views down. Tried google but to no avail. TIA

Aha, part of lampost with earth fault, dog wees on it and completes the dodgy earth path and hey pi55to, big hole for dog and small exit hole in lampost.

Looks like a stainless steel bolt was welded on as an earth point, blew apart due to short circuit. Can't think what it is though. Do I get the prize :P

Hi, I am no expert so be gentle. Just tried to rip Now 73 and when it loads, it recognises it as Now 71 so all album info is wrong. Entered all correct details manually but album cover picture still shows Now 71. How does the correct cover picture get put on. All of my other rips have been ok, I...

I wouldn't want to sign off work as my own if I hadn't been involved from the start. I suggest you sort out an electrician before you do anything so you can discuss how much he/she is happy for your to do and still sign off the work. If I was asked to connect someone else work without physically...

Some colleges get grants from the Government for adult education, hence the price variation. My 17th was subsidised very heavily thankfully.

Sounds like you have lost continuity of the ring. Check all your connections are ok ISOLATE THE CIRCUIT FIRST. The junction box is where exactly, as it still has to be accessable for maintenance purposes. If you have overtightened any connections they may look ok but have snapped off in the...

My thoughts are that the youngsters of today think the country owes them a living and gone are the days that they appreciatte how lucky they are to be learning a trade. We have 2 at our work, 1 is mustard the other doesn't give a t055. When mustard qualifies he will get a position, the other...

BAS, Got that exact same die set at work, it is pants and leaves the same mess as yours. I personally use rocol thread cutting fluid and 1/2 turn, back off a quater. We are now proud owners of a 20mm and 25mm ratchet cutter which leaves the thread cut perfect. E Bay it.

Sorry but been to a Scout fundraiser as the DJ and stone cold sober so drinking the left over red wines now, who is Tesla? I'm only a Norfolk boy and don't get out much :shock:

Fellow Posters, As STORM2 has fitted a new consumer unit with absolutley no testing or sufficient knowledge of what can go wrong and has saved a fortune, we can all go to his daughters funeral with the money he saved for a slap up meal and a few drinks. As for what she was wearing, her next...

vsynth wrote. How do you stop someone jamming in a contactor or shorting it out with wires? As Coljack said, all of our panels are only opened by a service key, only maintenance have them. If you have one in your posession at our work and are not maintenance it is goodbye regardless of why you...

You've hit the nail on the head there Bernard 1 and probably Bernard 2.

Thanks for all of the replies, sparky friend has told me as all posts on here have that their is no requirement in the regs to do it but it is what he was taught to do even if another core is used as and identified as the cpc. Some sizes of swa do not meet requirements of the adiabatic equation...

Hi, What is the standard for connecting the armour on a metal dissy board. Main incomer is 25mm 5 core with banjo at both ends and 1 core used as earth. Understand that it is best to do this. Now have 6 circuits from the board going to 32 amp and 16 amp 3 phase sockets. The armour on these has...

Thank you for that, is it under the drivers seat or are both seats monitored. Wife is away in it at the moment so can't have a look until Monday. TIA

Hi, MOT booked for Tuesday and the airbag warning light has just come on and will not go out after self checking during start up. Is this something that can be reset or is there a fault. Your help would be greatfully received

This is not a failure as only a qualified person will be removing the covers with the tools required, working live is against the EAWR 1989 unless certain criteria is met. From the sounds of it, they do not exist in your enviroment. I would mark it down on a PIR as a code 4, does not comply to...

Hi, Flameport wrote The steel bath: Steel baths do not require supplementary bonding, as they are not extraneous conductive parts. If there is no supplementary bonding at all, this should be installed. Sorry but a steel bath could be extraneous cond part if it is connected to metal...
