Hi On my course we had it drilled into our heads that mutlimeters are bad and we should use one of these http://www.pat-services.co.uk/martindale-vi13700g-safety-voltage-tester-1864.htm. If say you found a junction box/cable randomly undernearth the floor. The most hands free approach to...

Hi I want to add a new light in the hallway. The cable that I've purchased is 1.0mm twin and earth. The existing lighting circuit is wired in 1.5mm. Can I just use the 1.0mm for the lighting? The elctrician that orginally did the wiring put the downstair + upstairs lights on one mcb.

Hi my brother in law wants a shaver unit fitting in the bathroom. The shaver unit has a isolation transformer fitted on the back of the socket. There are no lighting junction boxes as far I know. I was going to run a cable from a double socket in the hallway then down rate it using an FCU...

Yes I was thinking about that as am currently doing my 17th edition. Am conviently on chapter 4 Protection for Safety!! My consumer unit doesn't have a terminal strip for non rcd protected. It has a terminal for each RCD and then strip for CPC. THere is an empty spot at the top in the...

Ah sorry forgot to mension the image in my album. Just noticed how attach it lol. So is this how you would distribute the circuit. This is what the building control officier said he wanted. I asked him "so you want a picture of the consumer unit, breaker sizes, cable sizes" He said...

Ah ok so long as I expose the brick underneath put cable in it's ref c yes?

Hi I'm just confused as to which method to use when the cable is channelled into the plastered wall then plastered over. Do you just assume method C (clipped direct)? For example cables for sockets are installed like this.

Within the alarm panel there's a supply cable that runs in parallel with the pcb within the alarm panel. In the new onsite guide on pg 75 it says 50mm space. To follow this rule I was thinking of running the cable outside the panel in parallel to the bottom edge as far over as possible. Then...

nah just blow the fuse. The panel and sensors were fine.

yeah I've did again today because I was rushing so I didn't trim down the cable. So I blow the fuse because I had to trim it down

The zone wiring for the sensors are on top of the supply cable since like I said it runs across the entire width of the panel to get to the terminal block feeding the transformer.
