No there is only an rcd the op said

I do think Dead Short may be right on this one, it sounds like you may be a bit out of your depth (no offence!)

Im not sure I follow. So you put the wire(s) back into the Hot Tub MCB and turned it on, but you also turned off one of the other MCB's labelled 'Sockets' but everything (including the sockets which were not working at the beginning of this thread) are now working?

OK - its slightly different...:notworthy:

Watch out because there is a lot of live stuff in there! The MCB is held in with a screw at the bottom on to the busbar ( a copper strip which makes the bottom of each MCB live) TURN OFF MAIN SWITCH BEFORE TOUCHING ANYTHING Why did you disconnect the wires from the hot tub MCB? Did this MCB trip...

I have seen this DB before havn't I!? OK so you dont have fuses, you have MCB's. I presume the one labelled RCD tripped when you cut the cable? Do you have a hot tub? What does that MCB do? Have you checked it is not actually the sockts in question?

Forget Rated People for a start. It is a paid advertising service for people who cant get work through word-of-mouth (hence a lot are no good!) It could well be a fuse has blown, most likely. Can you pull them out and check them - turn off the main switch first. Is it rewireable fuses or...

Of course. Why should he have done it at no extra cost? I do exactly the same.

...and if the RCD was removed because it was faulty, and there is no faulty circuit to repair, then thats only another £30 ish.

Dam! Too late!

Get a different electrician then. There is no reason why it 'shouldnt be worked on anymore'. But yes, that RCD shouldnt have been removed. Can you post a photo of your meter and main service fuse as It may be a TT system, and needs an RCD to ensure it is safe. A photo will help!

That mcb IS live. Just because it's off doesn't mean it's safe. The bottom of it goes into a live busbar which is live constantly whilst the main switch is on. Get an Electrcian ASAP.

I'm sorry but some people I would not work for if I had a customer complaining about my pendant drops not being perfectly straight... Grr.. LOL

I have a customer who wants something the same as this, great effect I will take this and show them. Thank you!

:sick:I guess we will be going back to red and black now then?!

That was a screen grab from the aico app. I was wondering because an etension I have just wired today has a bedroom (downstairs) with one door which leads to the lounge, and then an ensuite, which also has a door to a hallway. I have wired for a smoke outside both doors (ie. in the lounge and...

i was always under the impression it was 7m from bedroom doors? 3m seems very close?!

Try painting and decorating forum!

It says the appliance is fitted with a plug and must ONLY be installed to a properly installed earthed socket... Yet goes on to say about electrician replacing the cable. I can see why your confused. It was probably translated (wrongly) by someone in China.
