    How bad could it have been?

    hi, just wondering really, i've been shocked twice in my life, once when i was about 13 and decided to see how a 4 way extension lead worked, i took the plastic casing off plugged in my tv and touched the live metal inside, it gave me one hell of a shock, the 2nd time was last year when i was...

    ford ka t reg 1.3 central locking and.....

    with regards to the central locking, have you got a spare key to test in the lock? ford keys are well known for wearing, and as the drivers door gets the most use, that wears as well, if the key is not worn and works fine in passenger door, boot and ignition (without having to jiggle it) it will...

    oven and hob

    i'm not an electrician but what i've learned off here i'd have said no, they will draw 38A so will trip the 32A and 6mm will be too small, go for 10mm thats my opinion and hope an electrician can back up my theory

    Connecting light radial circuit using circuit to boiler

    yeah they'll only be drawing just over an amp, if you used this circuit you could still afford to have around 5 100w lights upstairs 240 volts x 6 amps = 1440 watts i thought as it said kitchen it might have been running sockets or something else other than just the lights

    Connecting light radial circuit using circuit to boiler

    what's wrong with volex?

    that ones going to the cu, it goes down then up, the top of the elcb comes in from the meter and doesn't have an earth connected, and like i said, its only used as an isolator, pressing the yellow button does nothing

    what's wrong with volex?

    the elcb was left after the cu was fitted as a way to isolate the cu in the future without having to disconnect the service fuse, it's inoperative as it doesn't have an earth going to the supply earth but i will eventually change it. with regards to the cooker on the rcd, it had to go...

    keep your hand behind the blade!

    what's wrong with volex?

    the main switch on the cu? its 100A my elcb which was left as an isolator is only rated 60A so i guess it would be best to leave the service fuse at 60A, is there any advantage to having a 100A service fuse? what is the cut out edf said they would have to increase? is it just the part the...
