You should not have reconnected the Earth, it could be it is not required for other reasons, in any case your first action should have been to contact the electrician and call him back in..

Land of Leather do some good deals on lounge related furniture. Not the greatest on the market, but you get what you pay for.

We use the same in the UK. We have tables in the back of our Regs Books (BS7671:2004) that gives the maximum load of a particular size and type of cable, giving several different ratings for installation method. Then below this table will be another which gives the volt drop for the given...

If this socket is only for a table lamp, why not change it for a dedicated 5A round pin unit that is designed for this, and also prevents others from plugging in higher loads.

It's a TN-S supply. If you look at the top of thepicture where the cables enter the DB, you see a smaller cable that has been painted, this is likely the Earth, then if you look on the left of the picture, this cable appears from behind the cutout mounting board and goes out of shot again toward...

I went out with a Girl who said she wanted to work on TV, great Girl but our lives took us in different directions after Uni. I met my wife and got married, she has made a great life for herself, I'm pleased to say, and most of you know of her..Penny Smith.

Definitley fight to protect my family. I dare say would die doing it, but better to die fighting for freedom than to die a prisoner.

Sorry if I disapointed you (I keep having to say that to the wife too.. :? ).. Seriosly, no floorboards??

Seperate pieces of fixed equipment should have their own supply,in theory at least, but so long as each piece has it's own independant local isolator and the supply can handle the expected load then it's not a big problem in domestic installs. Regarding diversity, I would not apply this to...

I think the word he meant was DEPRESSED not impressed...... :lol: :lol:

Great Idea, however why do you think people buy double ovens, it usually is not for show. Applying diversity in this situation is not a great idea, you should assume that at least 80% of the full potential load may be applied on a regulat basis, and likley 50% almost daily. When you take into...

Why would you use "30 amp cooker cable" if your think it is rated at 12kW which is 52A? More likely the cooker is between 3.5 and 5.5kW (15.5A to 24A) Further, you need to consider the materials the cable will pass through, such as insulating materials, as you would need to account for...

Ban all sheds, I find it a little disturbing that you seem to "investigate" members who post here, I wonder if you work for a living or just search this BB for posts and members etc? Now I am beginnning to understand why so many people here find you hard to take.

I cannot understand why people think that the UK is unique in it's drink culture. Germany, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Russia, USA, Mexico, Poland and most other Eastern European states drink in ways similar to the culture in the UK, perhaps not to the same extent that it is in the UK...

Carloss, I think they mean the BS number, as different types have to comply with different standards. This is not my part of the industry so I am certainly no expert here, hopefully one of the actual sparks that post here will be able to clarify this for you.

Your assumption is likely to be correct regarding the loss of contact due to heat, the only possible solution would be to replace the fittings.

Sheppy, the advice given by Ban all sheds, whilst blunt and to the point, was spot on. Doing a Part P course does not make you tecnically proficent, and your comments on here prove that. I can only concur with the comments that you should seek professional, or at least competent help to...

Should this topic be here or would it not be better in the plumbers forum as the CORGI Guys could give more accurate advice on this topic.

Oh please, that nonsense has been disproved so many times it is unreal. People concentrate on minor things, but radio telemetary and doppler shift would easily have shown the landings to be a fake, and had that been the case, the Soviets would have sung it's tune to all of the world to get one...

Well when I was on Holiday in Auss a few years back I found a Thylacine and wanted it as a pet, but the Yeti phoned me and asked to swap for the Beast of Bodmin..so done deal. After about 6 months though Beastie met Spring heeled Jack who introduced to the Odd Monkey of Brasil, they fell in love...
