It's not very likely but some motherboards have a 'resume by alarm' where you can set the computer to automatically turn on at a certain time. This could be creating the inrush current that is tripping the breaker. Just a thought as I would think it would be very unlikely that anyone has...

So BAS, do I have to notify or not? As I said, it's only a network cable, the 230v side will be done by a qualified sparky. Stuart P.S. I am confused now.,

I would like to install a network cable (cat5) going from the house to the shed at the bottom of the garden (10 metres maybe) am I allowed to do this without notifying LABC? (the 230v electrical side will be done by a qualified sparky). Thanks for your time Stuart

I have a fairly good idea who a couple of the mods are, dunno why they keep themselves anonymous though. Very strange. All I do know for certain is that Mod 10 is qualified as a gas engineer (he said so once).

I think the OP means that the FCU or SFCU is in an accessible position, with the socket that will become inaccessible connected to the load side of the FCU/SFCU......

Do you mean a drain vent? I think that more detail is needed (no offence meant) Hope this helps Stuart

Hi guys, I've just accidentally gone onto ditnot.com when I was trying to get to this site :oops: How many people must do that????? :lol: :lol: :lol: Stuart

I would have thought it would be resistive, but then again I guess it does induce magnetism into the other set of contacts, so it might be inductive I guess. Hmm.

What the heck is a Troll in this context???

I'm not qualified either, therefore I'd never tamper with an unvented cylinder, but how do you know that Big Burner is not qualified?? EDIT: No offence Agile, I am aware that you could know for certain, it's VERY important that you don't get offended. Stuart

Just to say, AttractiveBrunette, that, with the utmost respect, I would get an electrician to wire the hob in for you. I say this because I really care about your safety, ELECTRICITY CAN KILL so please please please be very careful, you may be competent to do a straight swap, but...

what is that thing with the crocodile clamp under the meter and the coiled cable leading up to it? I have to say though, I wouldn't touch it, just look. Stuart EDIT: It looks perhaps like a current sensing device, like it's sensing the current passing through the live conductor. EDITED...

Hi guys, it may seem a pointless Q but what is "trolling" I've just seen it mentioned in 1 of the posts, saying it had been reported, but it wasn't obvious what it was. Just wondering, cheers guys. Stuart

I've just been reading on this forum about GLS lamps being phased out, what does this mean, that we'll be using energy saving lamps in all our light fittings? I'm just very curious to know that's all. Hope everyone had a good xmas and New year. Stuart

Bother!!! Someone beat me to it. Oh well.

RF Lighting, I'm presuming the "doofer" is a wireless router (the spell check on here baulks at that word!!). Right, yes you can put a hub or switch in the extension, and then run just one cat5 ethernet cable back to the router. you can get small hubs or switches from maplin and cpc and places...

Oh bother, I thought it said vented, so my mentioning cold water tanks made me look stupid. Oh well.

You could turn off the mains stopcock in your property which will probably be either inside the front door, or could be under the sink, which will stop the leak in time, or you could go into the loft and look for isolation valves on the feed pipes coming from the cold water tank, these will be...

Windows detected a movement in your mouse and must now restart to update its configuration

So.... Does anyone have any ideas to help the OP? I am very interested to know what the cause was/is
