At the moment the supply comes into the house, service fuse, meter then into an old voltage operated earth trip. This will be replaced by a couple of time delayed rcds. One for the house board and one potentially for the submain to the workshop which will also be suitably fused down. I hope this...

Of course not. 63amp mcb for the submain.

Thanks tor the input guys. So, simonh2, are you saying from the meter take the tails into henley blocks, then a set going into a time delayed 100ma rcd unit for the submain to the workshop. The workshop fuseboard could then be a dual 30ma rcd board. Then from the henley blocks I could take...

Hi there, I have just been asked to quote for a job and am need of a little input from you guys if possible. As the picture shows it is a series of sub-mains and i'm wondering what the best set-up could be with out involving RCBOs. It is a TT system and would require earth electrodes in all...

My loft is indeed insulated to the minimum requirement of 270mm. The insulation is partially for heat insulation but mainly for sound insulation. As i have the ceilings down i thought it would be a good idea to do this.

Hi guys, I'm pretty strapped for time and haven't got the time today to search through the forums to see if there is an answer. So here i go. Very simple question. I'm looking to insulate my ceiling void between the downstairs and upstairs and would like to know what is the correct insulation...

Cheers RF! I shall see what he has to offer otherwise i'll go down the road to CEF. They should be able to sort me.

Hi guys, Just a quickie. I'm making up a custom-made fuseboard and have plenty of 300mm flexible live and neutral links to hand but i need at least 400mm in length. Any idea what wholesalers are likely to have that on the shelf or where i could order them from? Many thanks in anticipation...

Thanks for the quick replies. It was a request from a customer! I have had no joy looking around this morning. I shall break the news accordingly.

Morning all. I am after an electrical accessory for a bathroom that is able to charge 2 toothbrushes at the same time. Does anyone know of such a product and if so where can I purchase one from?

Thanks for the input guys! I got there on friday and inspected the bell box. It turned out to be a loose connection on one of the MSW terminals. The bell must have vibrated the wire loose!

Hi there. Just finished installing a texecom premier elite alarm system. The system was sitting nice and tidily with no faults. Thought I would do my first set and trigger the pir in the hall to create an alarm situation. I did this successfully but could not reset the system. It came up with...

It was a dodgy power supply. Happy days!

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to site tomorrow armed with a replacement panel. I'm just going to swap the power supply first and see if that does the trick. If not then the board will get swapped aswell. I shall check that option when I hook the laptop in. Thanks again.

Hi guys. I have just installed a texecom premier 88 elite panel with everything working justfine. The only issue is that it keeps coming up with ac mains failure. This doesn't happen constantly just occasionally. For example after being away from site for 2 days the keypad had dropped about 10...

yes i have checked. It is a ground floor flat and the lighting is of the age with no earth wire in. I have already re-wired the upstairs flat as they had the same issue. This lady is not willing to have a re-wire due to cost and the massive redecorating costs!

Hi guys, in need of a bit of assistance if possible. I have been asked by a customer to source some 3-bar spotlights that she would like in a couple of her rooms. After checking her lighting i found there wasn't an earth present in any of her ceiling roses so am after some double insulated...

To all that replied i thank you for your input. Indeed when installing new fans i follow the manufacturers instructions which more often than not tell you to install an isolation point. I can see both sides of the argument and i guess it all comes down to a little interpretation. Its not...
