I have a LG rocker with 3 switches, item #2810 04 (like to 2810 05). Each interior switch connection has room for 2 wires, there is no Earth connection to be seen. The 2 holes are labeled, above, 1 or L; below each hole 1 i find a small L letter. Below the L hole a curious angled design. What...

Well, am truly sorry but can't now see how the 'proper' thing can be done. A good bit already done, can't be re-done. I have read more and here is what i can do, hoping no future troubles. No water pipes within 10m of CU so must run the 6mm earthing connector thru the conduit with at least 3...

Does this 10mm earthing wire to nearby water pipe relate in size to the incoming line capacity? My CU is 60 Amp max so must i also use 10mm earthing wire? See related Q in nearby forum. Tnx.

My total incoming max is 60A. Incoming main wires will not change to CU, but inside the flat i am installing new wires. What minimum size, in mm, do i need from CU to water pipe and can i connect off this wire for supplementary use? Tnx. In regards this Q and the previous i posted, the 30A...

Thanks Astra99. Do you have any basis or logic for suggesting P1 for the live wire?

here i have a new 30 amp toggle switch with a neon glow lamp indicating ON, when lit (this for my shower heater). Inside i find ( beside earthing connection) four connectors labeled P1, P1, P3,P3 (P2 also found but no connection possible). The tiny neon wires run from P1 and P2 on the ON side...

30A switch

Will be using PVC conduit to house the single cables. Depending on diameter of conduit and cables am permitted just so many cables. Also involved is the number of 'bends' per length of run. More bends = fewer cables. The question in my mind is why the bends (assume 90*) permit fewer cables? One...

Will be fitting the cables into the PVC with many bends, some 'runs' only 3 inches due to cement pillars and lintels. The local codes, probably very similar to UK, specify number and size of permitted cables in conduit of certain size given the length of run and number of bends (90*). Thus for a...

Will be installing RCD, maybe more than one, close to the wall mounted switches for the kitchen, bath and hot water unit. Present CU has no room for RCD so i will put the RCD in a 'box' between the switches and the CU. Does this plan make sense and, besides buying a new CU, how else to do it?

Am new here (DIYnot and HK) and am rewiring my flat. Lots of ignorance but am progressing. My former experience only in USA, where 110v rules and i can speak the language. Here 220v, poor language communications and mostly UK codes. In house i have only brick walls thus all cables housed in PVC...
