If I'm usung an older version of the Part P then I may be wrong. But in the 2006 revision of Part P which I'm using, Appendix D on harmonised colours sates that after March 2006 only the new colours can be used Never have and never will be a fan of the Part P but that is what they state.

Your quite right it doesn't give you authority to turn it off without the landlords permission, but as the BaS rightly says sod him if he wants to bleat about it let him. I would tell him what i was doing, why I was doing it, issue him a danger electrical notice you can get, and if he wanted...

Did you ask your inspector why, apart from the obvious fact that even if you turn of your CU's double Pole switch you will still have power on the supply side, that you can't change your bonding? Table 1 of Part P advises you can install or upgrade bonding both main and supplementary without...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/4-80W-UNIVERSAL-FLUORESCENT-STARTERS-PACK/dp/B002PHTYNK What is known in the trade as a universal starter. Have a look around your fitting they are normally on the side somewhere near the endcaps, but can be under the tube.

So your design is running a 4mm external rubber cable 30metres on a catenary wire. Can we assume your talking about Hi-Tuf or equiv. You have obviously worked out that a 30m run of 4mm is not going to give you much to play with, load wise, after you take volt drop into account. I'm not going...

Hi Martin just sent you a message to your email addy with a method statement attached, Hope it's of help anf if you have trouble opening yell back

Simple answer is yes he can if he wanted to. Provided he met all the requirements for safety and design, and in Part P he either notified it to the LABC or got an electrician from a Part P scheme to self certify. The main question is why would he want to do this. As a sparks you should know...

Have to agree with BaS on that In the ESC guide to PIR on page 8 it states that for a code 1, which is what they are The persons using the installation are at risk. The person ordering the report should be advised to take action without delay to remedy the observed deficiency in the...

Your using second hand cable?? That as been working for 8yrs until last month. Have you taken it out of a wall then or was it surface, or have I got what you wrote totally wrong Unless your kitchen is huge or your runs are so long you need to fit larger than normal cables for kitchen...

First off as it's been lieing about for most likely 5 yrs are you sure it's good, might look ok but unless you IR test it you won't know. Part P says that from March 31 2006 only new colours may be used for new installations and or alterations to existing so that sleeving will need to be...

Apart from the DNO will never be able to replace that tripped fuse, unless the 20mm through box is the main header

Well these might help with the lamps http://www.oceanlighting.co.uk/switches-sockets-140/white-sockets-switches-146/selectric-lg9092-round-lighting-socket-outlet-7639.htm

Unfortunately as you will be extending the cables, or even running new in a bathroom the work will be notifiable as part P There is nothing stopping you doing it yourself, but then you go down the road of notifying the LABC, hiring or buying test equipment to test your work, and the chance...

If your going to run surface then no real need to RCD the circuit. Loads of way to run it Pyro. Galv conduit, SWA or even Hi-Tuf Also rather than PIR perhaps a twilight switch?

Ok TTC was a much better idea than mine anyway

Any good http://blueseaele.en.made-in-china.com/product/DbYnPrZxagcv/China-Time-Switch-E8-.html

These downlighters/spot lamps as our industry gone mad. I know everything now is built with obsolescence in mind and it's great business to keep replacing the porcelien holders, the cable , the lamps but these things are so dangerous, they are like trying to work with a small nuclear device...

Well down to you my man. To get all those cables into a single JB is going to need something exceptional. I reckon a box, few clips din rail etc will be about 30 notes but so much easier to work with.

Quite right Dingbat vastly over rated this ohms law stuff. But isn't the 17th edition just a part of an overall package when it comes to training and understanding what is needed to be an electrician. Just as the 2391-10 or whatever qualification now seems to be the industries flavour of the...

1) Is there a shaver socket in the bathroom? If not is there a blank plate as they may have taken a feed down fro something. 2) Well it's normal to spur from a ring final circuit but not unheard of from a light circuit for fans etc. What is the power of the pump? suspect it's about 1 amp or...
