Assuming the kettle is actually plugged in, it can`t be a bathroom........ serious? on here? :lol:

Apparently the idea of domestic installers providing the warranty themselves has been scrapped. Something along the lines of not expecting electrical companies to become insurance companies as well. I believe the warranty is now going to be offered to the customer (for an additional cost) if...

All circuits have to be tested when a new DB is put it........ May seem daft, but if someboady requests a periodic inspection of their property, and one of the results of the inspection is that the DB requires upgrading..........the DB gets replaced..........you then have to retest the...

How are/were the wall lights switched beofre? From a single wall switch that switched both at the same time?, or was the switch arrangement a switch for each wall light? Did the old lights have integral switches?

Take a look at the NICEIC website, you can purchase pretty little A3 cards (or print of yourself) a cute little piece of information Re Earthing and bonding. Next time you look at a job in somebodys house and try to explain that you cannot do anything unless the main equipotential...

So in answer to festa`s original question what`s the reply? Loose neutral connection at the DB?

Is it me, or does that description sound as clear as mud?

Our hoover does this in our house? Should I be worried? I know I will call the sparky back that fitted the new DB. Damn, that was me.....!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone else remember the old wiring centres?, where every twin from a lighting circuit went back to the one junction box?. Nah, neither can I, I just heard about them, cough cough. With that system every single switch/light position went back to the one connection point, so if you wanted...

No worries Adam, thanks for enlightening me though. Can see them taking of big time if the price is right.

Sorry to hijack the thread a little, whats the cost comparison like Re a basic mcb Adam?

Why fix it til it`s broke attitude? Not that I`m saying there is anything wrong with that before I am shot down.....lol.

Personally I would be a little concerned adding 6-7 amps on an existing 15A radial, though I dare say there are those who would disagree.

All through this post I have been trying to think of the experiments done at college........where you pump more and more ampege through a piece of fuse wire until it blows. Ok, so im old now (grey hairs etc), but I do remember being rather surprised by how much more current over their rating...

This is where that horrible word "diversity" comes into play.

No Adam, I havnt..sounds like a promising idea though. Must admit I`m an MEM or Merlin Gerin kinda guy.

Or somebody has already rewired it on the cheap.........without all the chasing/making good malarky.

Supply/feed is the incoming........load is the appliance.

Service fuse is possibly only 60A, just to add to the confusion.
