Hi Riveralt that link you posted not sure if you have noticed this on it "If you are installing a cooker circuit from new, then you need to choose a CCU (cooker connection unit). These are available with or without a socket outlet, it is preferable to get one that does not contain a socket...

You may find that as your caravan is over 15 yrs old the wiring never took into account the modern usage of RCDs for caravan sites now. It is possible that there is a fault on it that will be picked up by a RCD, which may not have been picked up previously. If the caravan as been...

Unfortunately if it turns out to be a main protective bonding conductor then it will need to remain. There is a good possibility that it may have to be upgraded in line to the 17th edition of the regs if the shop as not had any electrical upgrading since 2008. IMO I would contact a...

Maybe back in July when Fluke obtained the company the website as BaS had not been updated, but as since

Think you got sucked into an american time warp, though I read it as well lol In fact I was interested in what reg it was as well as the only thing I know in the BRB about flyleads on a back box is 543.2.7 and that is if your using conduit, trunking etc as the CPC. Sure someone will point...

'Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war' Shakespeare's 'Julius Ceasar' Not a good move rattling the BaS

I wonder if any of those posh cells lasted the 4 yrs :lol:

Before any advice is given you will need to confirm what size cable you have. Isolate the hob supply from the CU and take the socket off. if there is enough slack available cut a small piece off it go to B & Q and check what size it is from there. As you say the installation is approx 7...

The chances are your cable could take a 20amp protection device it really would depend on the length of runs and how it is installed. Then after changing that device you will have to carry out certain tests to make sure that the protection device will operate in the desired time, this is...

I suggest that you apply for some of this 75 billion pound hand out your government as just scrounged, and use it to take a course in manners.

And why don't you want to comply to the regulations, are they completely different in Ireland

Well if you want to comply with the regs and particuarly 526.1 and 526.5, unless you can think of another way to comply.

Sometimes easiest way to do something is letting the dog see the rabbit. Stop phaffing about and take the ceiling down. Rather then making holes everywhere and trying to fish things through. Ceiling down, do the work and re-plasterboard it. You will though still need to put fire hoods on...

Are we assumming that the cable comes from the floor up rather than from the ceiling down? or are they vertical along the sockets run. As the chipboard already been cut for the boxes and fitted? If so then how are you going about sealing the original holes in the chipboard after you have...

Firstly there are quite a few rules and regulation regarding fitting downlighters in your home. Are you in a flat or a house. If your in a flat then you have to make sure you maintain the integrity of the ceiling for both fire protection and sound proffing. The units you have shown don't...

As the majority of these heaters are low wattage approx 15-25watt then 2 of them together would be less than a 60watt BC lamp so no hassles at all with fitting them to a light. The golden rule though is fit as per manufacters instructions and as most of these units seem to have moulded 13amp...

As per reg 701.411.3.3 all circuits within a location containing a shower or bath shall have additional protection by a 30mA RCD. So you should fit one anyways, As you say it's a wet room I assume the shower is without a basin. If so then anywhere inside a distance of 1.20m from the fixed...

Funny enough got an email from LABC reminding us that F,G,J and L ( old and new non and dwellings) came into force on the 1st but I'm having trouble with just Part P by the looks of things :) I did forget the guidnace part, but I have to say like the BRB and the approved documents, I follow...

Stand correctly thanks Holms. Been a couple of years since done any Part P but I think I always used the approved document but always nice to told straight.
