When installing a hob, its recomended that you keep all sockets etc 300mm each side from it. If the hob was installed at the front of a worktop and the socket was directly behind it but 300mm away would that be ok?

32A sockets the loop imedance should be less than 1.2 ohms, but if its a TT system how is it gona be below this? Is it ok to just give it an RCD for supplementary protection? Do the figures for max loop in regs not apply to TT systems?

Cant read it, just thought they was a way of working it out from overall diameter

I've got 2 SWA cables, one is 20mm in diameter the other is 16mm, what size cables are inside them? They are 3 core

What u mean by that?

I want to get 2 2.5mm T&E, 1 1.5mm T&E & 1 6mm T&E cables from one building to another using conduit. What size will i need? Will it be 2 x 20mm or 2 x 25mm? Were in regs do i find this info? It seems just to be for singles, is they an easy way of working out?

You might need to get someone to do an insulation resistence test on these circuits to determine if theres a short

Have you tried unplugging everything on all circuits that are tripping, then turning the circuits on?

Please list circuits on DP side of board, then circuits on RCD side.

Is it a split load unit? What 4 circuits can you turn on that dont trip it?

When did this start happening? Switch off all circuits, then turn on RCD, test each circuits indivially to see which ones trip it

Been to a house today and found the lights had no earth cable. Most of the lights in the house are metal fittings. The lady dosn't want it rewiring as its just been decorated, so would putting them on an RCD be sufficient? I inspected the fuseboard only to find that they was no main earth...

How can i do that? Isn't cpc too close to phase so would pick up that reading?

ok cheers

How can i find out how much earth leakage there is on a cooker?

I'm wanting to run a SWA cable to supply an outbuilding. The SWA needs to be 16mm^2 because its a 34M run and I have to take volt drop into equation. Unfortunately the run from the consumer unit to the outside wall is quite a bendy 5M run (up stairs n round corners), so i propse to use TW&E from...

No shades just exposed bulbs, voltage is 239V

I've been told that candle shaped bulbs tend to not last as long as normall shaped, is this true? :roll: Just had a look at some wall lights that have candle shaped tungsten filament bulbs that keep popping. I've checked fitting and everything seems to be in order, any suggestions what it...

Been using TW&E clips from screwfix for some time now, but they never seem to stay in thermolite blocks. Does any1 else have this problem? Where can i get some decent ones as most places sell the same tower brand
