iam surprised in seeing that! a rewire should be suggested to do away with the possability of the fault happening again, or the risk causing a fire .

sounds like your cooker cable is 10mm.

hi ericmark, with reference to the 100ma rcd, are they no longer of practical use, because the housing company i work for still use the split board 100amp 100ma and 80amp 30ma for tt systems with the time out being on the 100ma rcd, only if we replace the full board do we use a normal two pole...

the threads on your die maybe worn, or you may have swarf between the die threads.

hi o/p you state that the shower is mcb and rcd protected, is the rcd the actual mains switch and rated at 30ma if so, then your mcbs are fed via a rcd and you should be ok, if not you will have to bond the bath.

have to agree. i used to call an earth an earth, now they are cpcs!

we get paid per house whatever we find wrong. the houses are grouped as a relet 1-2 or 3.(relets being void property) a relet 1 is a week turn over, ie a pir, gas check, minor joinery and lock change, relet 2, new kitchen work tops, pir remove all diy gas check rectify any defects. relet 3 major...

thanks, but seriously the faults i find while doing tests is mind boggling, spurring off sockets directly to wall lights is one, and my pet hate, we have a decent home build, and i find instead of a cooker outlet they have wired in a 3 pin single gang socket direct to the 6mm cable.

sorry when i said council i mean i work for a company that dose council repairs, but ultimitly they are our paymasters.

hi op thats the difference, the housing company i work for states when i find any faults while testing I have to put right said fault, even if it means a full rewire.

so why are all 17th edition mains boards that we at gateshead council fit all have to be full rcbo boards.

hi o/p is 1600+ a bit much, i may be reading your post wrong and i do applogise if so , but i thought for value zs on a 32amp type B mcb/rcbo is 1,44. again sorry if iam reading your post wrong.

deffo a crossed line some where. did you do the 3 stage ringmain test, ie r1 rn r2 then ri/r2 crossover, that would have deternined if you had a "ring" or a cross over. did you then meggar the cables, domestic voltage at 230v so a reading of 500 megg ohms would indicate perfection all the way...

yes, from the rinse board/sink/ nearest water tap you have to allow 300mm, but i would not reccomend putting your c/u 300mm from the water supply. also will the c/u be protected ie boxed in?
