    Help with an accident!!

    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?

    Help with an accident!!

    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?

    Help with an accident!!

    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...

    Hot tub electric question

    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!

    Hot tub electric question

    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.

    3m or 7m?

    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...

    dual appliance wiring

    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.
