If it's a A3 radial and falls into the parameters set out in the OSG Table 8A then there is no maximum amount, you can have unlimited. There is a recommendation also in the OSG in Table 8B which gives a suggested minimum amount that is deemed necessary in a domestic installation. This is...

Sounds like it could be a motor problem so check either the motor itself or brushes

One of theses ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/KRONE-Type-Punch-Telephone-Insertion/dp/B000Q84THG You may also find you might need a new front.

First the socket upstairs on the downstairs ring final circuit, did he not discus this with you when you asked him to add the extra socket. You will often see a BS 1363 socket outlet in the loft and often as not it will be off the lighting circuit, this is commonly done with arial amplifiers...

As it's blowing the protection device in the main CU it would seem to be the heater

built in obsolescence to be honest. At 37 pound it is probably not worth trying to repair if it's outside any warrenty period, so most things built today it's throw away. Though please stop going around plugging it into sockets.

There are so many permations here that it would be impossible to answer. Best start with choosing the oven you want and seeing how much load it will take and then come back on for advice. IMO opinion I can't see a double oven working safely on a 13 amp plug top. If you do get an oven...

Your post is certainly getting into the realms of installation design and that is something your Electrician will do for you. He will want to make sure that the sub main from the main board feeding your new installation will be man enough. So that 10mm^ might have to come out. He may...

quite true

As your going to have a water supply out to it then unless you use a plastic pipe to feed the shed, you will need to run a bonding conductor to it or make sure your CPC from the house would be large enough to do both Earth protection and bonding. If your house is supplied by TNC-S then you...

The switch is rated at 100amps which means it can be used on a circuit rated from 1-100 amps. Lot like your 13amp socket outlet. You plug something into it like a TV which will be less than 1 amp. Your supply fuse could be 60, 80 or 100 amps the switch will cover them all. The 80amp RCD...

We now move onto something called design When an electrcian designs an installation he will take into account all the possible appliances that can be plugged in. Therefore he would install either a ring final circuit for the upstairs and another for the downstairs, and yet another for the...

Alan are you saying that you have half sleeved earth pined plug tops that are used with class 1 equipment?

Yes but your heater will have a thermostat and will be cutting in and out. You will use your kettle for short bursts of 5 minutes unless you going to fill a bath up, but even then it will switch of when boiled. So in the advent of perhaps bot heater and kettle being on full blast at the same...

After activating my old enigma decoder I think it may be a dampness problem, though I'am assuming the cooker is RCD protected. I often tell switches what to do but they ignore me.

If that is correct then the NICEIC electrician is quite correct as this contravines regulation 314.4 One thing to use a MCB to spur of an existing circuit, but quite different if there is one MCB feeding 2 final circuits. So before we accuse this guy of trying it on perhaps he discovered that...

If the Part 1 & 2 are no good hate to think what my A,B + C are thought of, better get them out of that ark I keep them in :lol:

You can do it either way. Imo I would use a junction box and then go to each fitting. If you chain them together or "Through Wire" then you should comply with Regs 559.6.2. This is a common sense reg as the internal workings of a flourescent fitting can get very hot and if your not...

Play the devils advocate here apart from reg 134.1.1 which as we know stipulates that installation must be to the manufacturers instructions, and most insist on a dedicated supply, but if that wasn't the case here I think the OP could do it ....................wait for the flak now
