Drifting off original topic a bit. Please let me know if I should open it an on new thread. Don't wanna hack anyone off. I am running cable outside (underground) to power 1) Electric gate and lights and 2) Garage. I was thinking go the hog and use 10mm SWA T&E for both. Both to mini consumer...

I am actually amazed that on 2 things he has given me incorrect advice. WoW! Just goes to show.

He also said that the cables currently in the cavity can be taken out and chased into the internal walls. I said is this permitted as they will be outside the dead zones coming down the walls. His reply was yes as long as protected by an RCD. I said we are using RCBO. He said that is even...

Doncaster Council. I was sure he must be mistaken but coming from the guy at the top of the electrical dept at DMBC I thought it must be correct but I had to go for other opinions as it didn't sit right with me, an isolator at all 25 lights just makes no sense at all. When I asked he even said...

Hi. New to this group. Hello to all. OK so I have installed outside lights on a 1.5mm circuit around my home. 25 up/down lighters in total. Now I was just going to have these on a switch inside the house to turn them all on or off. I am told that this is not acceptable under 18th. That the...
