    Am I on ring or radial sockets (test results included)

    Sorry harry but I cannot fathom how it doubles a chance... 1 fault is one fault, roll a dice does the chance of rolling two sixes increase or decrease if you roll a six first or is it exactly the same chance 1 in 6.

More likely these days is when my 32amp ring gets a fault my house goes off, when one of...

    Purlins not supported at party wall

    Fixed these a few times, but never sure why it was an issue, its the way it was deigned, the shared chimney stopped penetration of the purlin so they strutted it to a collar on the ceiling. Used C24 treated joist in 3ft lengths, notched at the purlin ( 5mm - just enough to cup the purlin) and...

    Greg Wallace

    Its really disappointing to see a defence of Wallace based around he is a cheeky chappy, its just being him being him what did they expect malarky. Would you expect that your wife or daughter would go to her place of work be flashed at, groped, abused by the boss... is anybody actually...

    Main fuse irregularly blows, why?

    exactly... why do we bond external pipe work or in this case are there two main earthing arraignments, one with a spark inducing voltage and one without.

    Main fuse irregularly blows, why?

    if you look at the earthing arrangement there are two different connections, one from the sheath and one from a block... are you seeing a high resistance / lower resistance earth path as you state that sparks appear from the sheath connection. If you are getting a voltage big enough to spark the...

    RCD TRIPPING after hoover gets plugged in

    Yep, but its DC which is injected which will be equal to 1.4 times AC as AC has a full wave Peak,0,-Peak... so dependant on your kit at 1 times say 30Ma you will be getting 42 mA at the rcd and the limiting factor is the solenoid/relay.. how long will that take to fire... less than 40mS...once...

    RCD TRIPPING after hoover gets plugged in

    No, if the second is connected somehow... joined on same N bar then, or there is a shared neutral out on the circuits, lighting for example. As for the RCD operating time and the difference they will always vary in their response time, no two identical units will work at the same speed, brand...

    RCD TRIPPING after hoover gets plugged in

    Its tripping or to be more precise its in to process of tripping once that process starts ie is over the 30mA required then its not stopping, the variation is down to the manufacturing tolerance of the RCD trigger, ie the solenoid and components, after all its near instant disconnection not...

    Advice Needed: Neighbour Raised Ground Level Without Planning Permission – What Are My Options?

    Why, there is no planning issue whatsoever, the only regard to planning will be the treatment of the street scene, eg open front gardens or no fences as its known, that is the limit for planning on hard landscaping.
