yes two twin and earth cables leave the CU you are right about that bit. the notion that therefore 2 conductors form the ring is still wrong.using your theory,if a ring had ten sockets on it ,then that ring would have many more cables than the two you describe.so your still wrong. you need...

from the old boiler spur? are you certain the immersion spur has no power,if so how did you verify this? check it with a proper combi check and post the results

MEM metalclad is an industry standard,some of the best stuff out there :wink: installed half a dozen lately,a joy to work on and looks the nuts

no need to do anything mate, din connectors on there own are perfectly acceptable

lol! imagine BG coming out to replace the meter. if you payed for gas by card,where would the slot be :lol:

cows do make me laugh :lol:

thats an idea that is. how about a herd of cows guffing into you boiler,free heating and you could shoot a few in the summer when heating is not required for food

actually i did meet one cow that didnt make me laugh. he stuck his head through the door of my shelter at 3 in the morning when i was fishing an estate lake. got woken by a very loud mmmmmmmmmmmmmoooooooooooooooooo 2 inches from my head at 3 in the morning,i didnt know what to do tbh. when...

REALLY!!!!! i dont believe that for a second.whatever next? i bet youll be telling me women in africa balance big jugs of water on their heads. we dont need them for anything in this country apart from food and making me laugh when im in the countryside

true mate, sorry folks.dont grab live conductors its dangerous and you could be hurt.especially on an rfc,because removing one end of your loop is not enough.both ends will still be live

i love the environment,no way im going veggie though.where would we put all the cows? funny as they are,there only food with legs on

wheres BAS sloped off to anyway?

obviously if you look at the socket there are two cables.the point that some are trying to make is this. although you have two physical cables at the socket,the effects when connected and energised,are as one. if you take a brown out of a breaker and re-energise the circuit and grab that...

im well aware of the reg mate,just wasnt sure how it was worded. if its worded as you say then i dont know why you can use purely the cpc in the twin and earth.the reg implies this is not enough surely. i know we all do it but is that reg is wrong,or we are installing it wrong. PS why has...

yes you do.until you connect them up.would you expect an open circuit on your rings on a continuity check?

Its quite simple really Bas you have two lives two neutrals and two earths at every socket in a RFC you do until you connect it up

SPARK 123 yes there is mate , i think in the circuit you have drawn out,there are clearly two terminations(in the CU),these are the ends of one piece of cable. disconnect one earth from any socket and then you have two earths.is this what they were trying to say when they wrote the reg? my...

you still only have one earth though,you just broke it everywhere you have an outlet :roll:

i see the point BAS is trying to make ,its not difficult. we take 2 2.5 t and e cables from mcb and wire in and out to make a loop through the accesories,so if we take a core out of the breaker and measure voltage on that cable then you have voltage.common sense says you have one cable.if not...

that has to go mate,or at least be tested first. all the critical illness cover in the world wont help you all the while you have to breath in agony through a face mask. asbestos or you in the loft,but not both together dont go up there again its only a job mate
