Hi securespark Looks like we agree on this one!! :D Incidental question......... if this was a rented property would it fail the PIR by way of having no bonding and no visible signs that the total installation is plastic?

Quickie I hope. Full re-piping of a house in plastic except the netre or so coming into the property on lead leading to a metal stop cock. Does it need bonding, if so where?

Yeah yeah yeah Go have a beer and calm down.

Getting tetchy Spark!! Accepted in my previous post. Okay - Accepted. I made an assumption that it was ceiling mounted. How much more misleading can it be to post an image that shows a zone around a sink and then say "but that isn't a regulation only a recommendation from lighting...

Spark. Don't know which creek you're looking up. Suggest you look at my post again. I didn't even mention a sink.

Okay my mistake. Zone 2 distance is measured from zone 1 not from the bathtub and the height is from teh top of the bathtub. Happy? but we don't know that. No it doesn't unles..... blah de blah.......... and we don't know where the lighting is, i.e. above a shower maybe? or how high the...

Sorry about the echo guys. Sorry about the echo guys............ :? I only posted once honestly.

Yeah but seeing as I posted the question in Electrics UK I wouldn't have known. Incidentally if admin read this I don't totally agree that this is necessarily a question for the software forum. I believe I would get more responses asking Sparkies who aren't necessarilly interested in reading...

Jeep Looks like I duplicated your question but a few hours later. Spooky eh? Let me know if you come across anything. [email protected] Cheers

Does anyone know of any software that I could purchase to help with domestic circuit design fro re-wires and re-furbs. I would imagine it would be something like the interior designers and furniture people would use but with icons for electrical appliances etc. Cheers

Maybe I am just barking then!! I had a feeling it was something to do with motors but didn't want to make myself look totally stupid. Failed again there then!!!! Well motors get warm don't they!! Okay okay stop prattling Desie........ If anyone can help with any indications or...

Providing it complies with the stated zones included in part P i.e. Zone 0 - Inside the bathtub or shower Zone 1 - Within 0.6m of the bathtub or up to 3m above Zone 2 - Within 2.4m of the bathtub or shower or within 0.6m but above 2.25m in height Zone 3 Outside of these areas. In...

Thanks Spark I understand the theory of coiled cables becoming heat generators but would like to put some practicality on it. Using a domestic example when would it become dangerous for a 13A 2.5mm cable pulling 3Kw. i.e. At what point would there be a risk of fire through overheating? Is...

I am assuming you mean yellow/green not yellow. Twin and earth under new colouring is brown (live) blue (neutral) and yellow/green (earth) Are you saying the yellow is live? I hope not. Timer fans have to be wired using 3 core and earth and normally would be connected to your lighting...

As you indicated the rating refers to the load not the supply. The amp rating therefore is almost irrelevent to the rating of the circuitg it sits on. Example - all of your circuits come potentially from a consumer un it rated at 100A. The MCB then protects the individual circuits to prevent...

When does it become potentially dangerous for a 240v live strand to be coiled? i.e. how many turns of the coil would render the cable to dangerous overheating? In a consumer unit some advice given is to coil the cables over once to enable excess for future amendments or alterations. Is it...

Is it against regs or dangerous for two radials to be connected into the same MCB assuming the total load does not exceed the rating of the MCB?

Can anyone tell me what gauge of cable and flex is normally used for immersion heaters? i.e. CU to switch and switch to heater?
