    2 light switch problem

    I have 2 switches for my lounge light, both have to be on for it to work, switch 2 must be on for switch 1 to turn the light on and off. I know it's one cable in one wrong hole, but which one? The house came like this, I'm not guilty for this little faux pas. Thanks for any replies.

    Power shower connection

    providing I have enough ring main left to power the pc i'll let you know how i got on after the weekend. One last thing, someone suggested wiring it into a 3 pin plug instead of going off a junction box, obviously with the rcd etc still, as I already have a socket in the loft, good/bad/ugly?

    Non fused spur, multiple outlets

    my new taps which I didn't realise needed minimum 1 bar. I see what you mean, that this supply is regulated from the CH controls, not just a straight power out. There is another spur in there for the Immersion, but I understand this is left well alone. Looks like a spur off the ring main...

    Power shower connection

    Could you point me in the direction of a suitable RCD FCU? Jeez, my plumber was the one that told me about part P, the terms "New regs, start of this year" etc etc tend to get banded about a lot when i mention any electrical woes to my enlightened (Pardon the pun) friends. So this...

    Non fused spur, multiple outlets

    I have a spur in my water tank cupboard, with 3 leads running out to radiator pump etc etc. Is this ok or not? Needless to say I didn't put it in, is there a way to correct it? mini CU?

    Power shower connection

    yes, your right, the text regarding cable size is in relation to bonding. POWER supply cable must have minimal cross section of 1mm square. I take it all back....... As suggested above, I'll run it from a spur off the ring main, so this will use the plug in breaker at the CU, but I think I...

    Power shower connection

    4mm square if not mechanically protected, 2.5mm2 if it is. it also asks for a double pole switch if this helps. This seems to be ticking all the boxes for me at the moment: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=90026&ts=57941 So: 1. cable from junction box 2. RDC device as...

    Power shower connection

    I have a power shower (Separate cold and hot feed) all nicely plumbed in. Unfortunately the old unit ran off a 24v transformer plugged into a 3 pin socket in the loft. What do I need to do to connect this new unit? It needs a 3amp fuse, min 4mm cable, and a 30mA RCD, but can I just take a...
