Never seen one as a single unit. You could build one out of euro modules but it would need a double backbox.

Can't they just get a new busbar, slide everything along and then add a new RCBO next to the main switch?

Yes it does, even states so on the front bevel.

I think I can just barely see a brown wire heading in the direction of the RCDs live terminal, but it's hard to be 100% sure.

The grey wire is most likely the neutral, it should have been marked with blue tape or sleeving, but that may have fallen off, or many never have been fitted in the first place. The live and neutral should go to the terminals at the top of the RCD (not MCB) on the left. But what concerns me...

"white LEDs", at least at the cheaper end of the market are usually made by taking a blue LED and combining it was a phosphor coating that converts a portion of the narrow spectrum blue light to a broader spectrum yellow, which mixes with the blue to produce a "white". There are other...

ROFLMAO

I wouldn't want to rely on the clamping power of a plastic thread to maintain a secure electrical connection.

I had a similar issue in my previous place (private rented flat in housing association block), no key was provided to the meter cupboard and attempts to borrow one off a neighbour and take if for copying failed. The landlords agent did manage to get a "move-in", though I had no way to tell if it...

No he doesn't, you are just an idiot who can't read a ****ing post. To clarify the timeline for all the slow people in the back. * The original video was posted. * Eric posted a reply claiming the socket in the video was german and posting a picture of a modern french CEE 7/5 socket. * I...

The picture in eric's post has an earth pin and is a CEE 7/5. The socket in the original video has neither an earth pin, nor earth clips, nor the distinctive cavity shape of a Shuko. The real-world socket it it most closely resembles is a CEE 7/1

I certainly haven't seen any evidence to the contary. I went to an event in France recently and while there I visited a French supermarket. The store brand multi-socket adapters had plain type E plugs, while the Schnider branded ones had hybrid plugs. All the 16A extension leads for sale in...

It's an up-scaled version of a "CEE 7/1" socket with no earth connection. Apprently rare in germany and more common in the Netherland and Sweden. Not sure if it was ever used in france.

While I'm sure there is some legitimate stuff on marketplace sites, the unfortunate reality is that a lot of stuff sold through those channels is frankly terrible. Multi-standard sockets that fit nothing well, undersized conductors, missing earths, non flame retardant plastics, 13A plugs without...

Openreach FTTP goes from the exchange to an aggregation node to a splitter node, to a fiber DP, it doesn't use the cabinets. As I keep trying to tell people there is a huge difference between openreach FTTC and openreach FTTP. With FTTC you are reliant on an active cabinet to translate the...

IIRC openreach FTTP uses a 2500Mbps signalling rate, but that is shared among up to 32 customers. The maximum for a single customer connection is 1600Mbps. And importantly on openreach FTTP (altnets may vary) everything between the consumer equipment and the telephone exchange is passive. If...

The problem is that those in charge of the industry have decided it's ok to push people away from traditional copper voice and on to "digital voice" (aka VOIP) services, and they are doing this even in places where FTTP is not available. So people are being pushed from reliable analog voice...

Looks suspiciously similar to a permaplug from masterplug, I wonder if someone is cloning them or if masterplug are selling "white label" products.

Does the back panel need to be *exactly* 15mm from the wall? I'd be tempted to space it out just a little bit more so a 35mm box would fit flush with the panell surface without digging into the wall. Given the nature of the materials involved I would want to keep any gap between socket front...

Despite the name Dissman having the same energy as "sorny" and "panaphonic" they do seem to be at least somewhat legit.
