Sir Cockburn, do you have anything even remotely close to such experience?

Little did I think that, when I posted up my early warning about the dangers of Mr Cockburn's warped ideas in [self]published form, that I would give birth to a proud and loud 15-pager. Who would have though that so much top flight entertainment would have been created from such humble...

I'm surprised you ask this, Bas. There's an excellent book on the subject*: here :lol: *To anybody unfamiliar with Mr Cockburn's opus, please deploy sarcasm detectors now.

I'm sure you meant this as a joke. The problem is that it looks like a serious post, so there's a danger that someone might see it, and think you meant it, and go out and buy the book. Please either edit your post to make clear that it's a joke, as is Mr Cockburn and his book, or just delete it.

So your opinion is that one should take metal items which are not in any way part of an electrical installation and deliberately connect them to one. My opinion is that you are David Cockburn, or a disciple of his.

I think he's just very 'risk-averse', which is a not uncommon part of the spectrum of 'utility'. Given that earthing has an important safety-related function and that the user of an installation will obviously be unaware of a failure of a single CPC, I suppose one can understand some people...

I'll help Mr Cockburn with one possibility: Table lamp flex is worn exposing phase conductor (lucky it is difficult to grip by the human hand eh?) Child grips it (against all odds) Child simultaneously in contact with radiator. Floating radiator: Result: small potential...

...NICEIC [endorse] are those produced and sold on our NICEIC Direct website and of course BS7671:2008 the wiring regulations. Mr Cockburn has had no endorsement from us for his publication. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, Kind regards,Emma Emma McCarthy |...

You are a singular individual, Cockburn. You get totally owned on both the IET and this forum, time and time again, yet your ignorance is such that you soldier on, letting logic and correct information go completely over your head. As has been pointed out to you already, both on here and on...

Unless you had the spoof version written by Mr Cockburn it wouldn't have had anything like that in it. There was never a requirement to earth it.

...compensated by something else. Of course finally, given the energy theory, the checks&balances will be balanced somewhere along the line, possibly in one tiny squalid corner of the universe where all the broken laws of physics are dumped and possibly a place where D Cockburn went to school...

We've been through all this before. The tabulated values of current carrying capacity which are deemed to be safe take into account the fact that the current may be up to 1.45 times the rated value for short periods - and are therefore applicable to circuits protected by Type B MCBs (and some...

...diagram 2.1 of BS 7671 and forget all of this diversionary drivel? I'm sure you would all have a lovely time discussing your theories with one Mr David-911-Cockburn, who is, after all, the expert::roll...

...wont let you tarnish his good name on Amazon as he needs to re-coup a small percentage of his outlay into publishing the damn thing. Mr. Cockburn - just a quick direct question - Are ALL the electricians / people on here with imense electrical knowledge incorrect in what they say about...

To be fair Cockburn may have a point. If the 17th doesn't comply with the 16th and the 16th was written to ensure safety and was accepted as such then there are two possible conclusions. [1] the 16th did not ensure safety and the 17th might ensure safety, [2] the 16th did ensure...

...when he asked for our opinion of it. We do not recommend this publication as a reference book and it should not be used as such." Mr Cockburn is either a wind-up merchant with a deep and unfathomable sense of humour, or else is a dangerously deluded fool. I hope this review is of help...

It is NOT highly improbably for a damaged flex or item of equipment to contact a metal sink, radiator or similar item. Door handles I agree are probably never going to become in contact with a damaged flex. An electrical system should be designed to be safe what ever "reasonable" fault...

...were handed pay of £7.4m for 2020, including bonuses worth £5.5m. The chief executive, Rupert Soames, and chief financial officer, Angus Cockburn, picked up the pay packets in a combination of cash and shares for the 12 months to the end of last year." I wonder who the CEO is related to? Oh...

Please stop this madness!!!! Cockburn, you have a fundamental, poor understanding of physics and this is where your problem firmly rests. There are many things which appear "intuitive" yet when one "crunches the numbers" one can get a much different answer than "intuitively" expected...

...the measures to ensure there is no possibility of a second point of contact are in-adequate or fail. DIYers reading this should ignore Mr Cockburn's requests and advice since his precautions about second point of contact were obviously in-adequate ( that he got a painful shock id proof )...
