cheers for that coljack

if the cables come directly down the wall, chase the wall, sink a box or put a pattress at high level, joint the cables there and cover with a blank plate. Put a '' danger 230Volts sticker on the pattress'' test the ring ciruit once finished

Wondering if anyone knows what is the exact amount of current a 1.5mm 2c SWA cable will carry, burried underground, distance is 10metres

OMG can't believe you posted that LMAO

is there a fan going directly above where the socket is now?

could it be a home made RCD??? lokks dodgy

why would use a ''spare neutral'' there is already obe there. wire it in 1.5 twin and you would have a switched live, neutral and cpc wire it in 1mm/1.5mm 3core and you would have a switched live, neutal, cpc and a spare. Why would you use the spare as a neutral when there is already a...

also try to avoid buying cheap lamps, go for decent lamps prefrably OSRAM

Just a quick question. Does anybody know if BASEC has its own BS no. or do they just stamp the cable??

1.5mm twin - 10A 1.5mm flex - 17A if a 1.5mm flex will carry 17A max and twin and earth cable will carry more current than this then why aren't radial socket circuits wired in 1.5mm twin????

6mm HR flex is available from the wholesalers, check the output on the cooker and MCB rating, if your using a 32A 4mm HR flex will be fine, stranded cables will carry more current than non-stranded cables ie. twin and earth

just for arguments sake lets say that the lighting circuit is on a 6A MCB fed with 1.5mm twin, if you installed an RCD spur unit and then spurred a socket off of that even if you put 2 13A fuses in the spur unit and the plugtop the circuit would trip out at 6A anyway, i know its wrong but its a...

If you have a clamp meter handy try puting it round the live wire of the supply load at the switch and if the element is working the meter will show the current that it is drawing.

Sounds like the problem lies inside your dist board, cable connected in same terminal as main tails or into incoming of MCB assuming its not a quickline board. Get an electrician in to do the job as it will have to have its own ciruit(if this is the problem) and it must issued with an electrical...

RCD 1x should be less than 200ms this doesn't mean it should be greater than 40. I tested the circuit at the furthest point. The tester works fine, recently calibrated.

dont have a clue sorry i work for someone, not for myself, get 2 or 3 contractors to give you a quote and see who you like best but make sure they are approved NICEIC. If they are NICEIC domestic installer dont bother, anyone can be a domestic installer after a weeks course witch is rediculous.
