In this case yes... we are connecting to THEIR network....so its up to them to say what the facts are... as they have the right to terminate your connection...

As i pointed out to you John.. we have an ageing network, just how old are most connections, mine is date stamped 1961 and until we put in an EV charger the service fuse had never been changed.....Regulations take account of reality not electrical theory.

Rules on Max Length Of Meter Tails Regulations regarding the maximum length of meter tails can vary and are often specified by the Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) rather than following the standards outlined in BS7671. It’s essential to be aware of these DNO-specific requirements, as they...

Oh by the way, its the DNO that has made the assumption on meter tail length and the IET has written is regulation with regard to their instruction. They made it for a variety of reasons apparently, ageing service heads, non reliance on the correct fuse in the service head being fitted which...

As I keep pointing out we do not know what assumptions they made or who asked them to make use of an assumption they provided. Or if they made a mistake....reverse engineering it is not cool. I agree with Morq, regulations are just that either must or should, if it says you must then you do and...

No, they are separate but the could be together, as I have no knowledge of what assumptions they made.. Does 4m at 100 amps max cross a line somewhere where 2m does not in terms of bends, are they taking it that 2m has limited bend potential... They could be taking it that a cable greater than...

nor do I but what were their assumptions ? Did they include a fudge of at 4m its assumed there are 4 x 90 degree bends in the cable because they assume 1 in 2m, did they assume that a cable of 2m will not require a thermal load calculation but a 4m one will ?

That's the point, they do make sense when you base you regulation on another set of assumptions... in lots of cases. There is a degradation of confidence of that regulation as the basic assumptions are excluded, just instead the new regulation is presented without its assumptions leading to...

My two pennies worth is that the industry needs to make up "regulations" or advice as its known due to the intellectual calibre of those its intended to guide. Sparkies have a book to read and digest, the big brown one, but then that's a bit complex as its already dumbed down physics to make it...

Wrong john, we are talking about contractual matters, the contract between a tennant and landlord is governed by the law of Tort or case law, in this case a tenancy agreement has various sections within it that are sepcific and others that are implied as is the case with most case law. All...

Landlords are responsible for appliances....it has nothing to do with any requirement under any electrical regulation, its contract law. Goods supplied must be of good working order and as such is a civil matter not a statutory matter and is a matter between the tenant and the landlord...

You have to be a bit careful with that understanding, pvc based pipes begin loose their ductile properties at 0 c and then degrade with each degree of temperature drop, whilst they themselves will rarely fail the associated couplers can fairly easily deform and leak that's why we drain ours...

We just drain out the water to two holiday rentals on our property over winter by using a wet vac on a union, crack the furthest tap and lower the pressure soon pumps it self .. remember that from physics, disparate air pressure and momentum ? But why are you bothering... drain the water you...

wow do you live in a stately home harry... 24 circuits in one house, I would hate to see you leccy bill just how much juice are you sucking through that installation. Have you built a replica of Blackpool illuminations and pleasure beach?

I have two 60sqm drives both gravel both with the woven weed membrane, never had an issue in 8 years, sure some weeds take hold in the gravel but you can pull those out easily and to be fair we just spray ours once a year in march, job done. we used...

apart from those living in exposed locations who has had a power cut in the last 40 years.... you can almost tell which newspapers a person reads and takes their click bait as gospel... https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dailymail+national+grid&atb=v395-1&ia=web

No it won't, most of the wiring will be going up to the first floor, so if you are prepared to take down a bit of plaster board from the ceiling for the wires to be dragged back to the new location its pretty easy. Wiring can be easily extended. The only issue will be where the meter is and how...

First off you can do what you like in your own house, second even though the wiring may be old it can still be perfectly serviceable. If it was me I would get the wiring checked out to see if its degraded, Isolate the each circuit at the circuit breaker and check for any green goo behind the...

My point was why... its going to be a right mess dragging in cables , changing the lighting back box to one that will take a socket. He has not identified what that circuit did or does... was it a for control under cab lights ? What cable size is it ? Where are you going to take the feed from ...

Its a lighting circuit with no earth so you cannot charge it to a socket as its just a live in and live out.
