I see you´re still winding people up BAS - Happy new years by the way :D

@Phil if you have tested completely and verified that the voltage between Neutral & Earth is over 12V then call Endesa to revise it as it´s not for you to manipulate. @Steve all TT earthing arrangements in Spain should have a reading of less than 30 ohms.

Most of what Billibuoy posted is correct but the max consumption for any single domestic item is 5750W unless a projecto is presented. Single phase supplies are also limited to 63A and most of the older apartments and houses are rated at 15A or 25A Where as any new dwellings or legal...

rupertvdp the current Electrical regulations here in Spain are called REBT 2002 You can purchase them from any technical book store here Unlike the UK they are freely available on the WEB just search from REGLAMENTO ELECTROTECNICO para BAJA TENSION Real Decreto 842/2002 de 2...

You would not be able to self-certify your own work in Spain unless you had your qualification validated Depending on the outcome you would have to complete either a 2000 hours course which would bring you up to FP2 which is the Spanish equivalent to ( what was part 2 C&G 236) If they...

We miss you BAS all is forgiven :D

So jcvdi, What did you want to know ?

There´s no need for local isolation in the Spanish regs but mounting an air con m/c 1.7 meters about a pool is a complete NO NO This unit should be installed outside of the 2.5 meters high limitation and/ or 2 meters away from the pool edge and should have a minimum protection of IP*2...

Hi jcvdi, In which area are you located in Spain ? Do you speak Spanish fluently enough to understand the regs here ?

Yes what information were you after ?

Just found it. 11 years i was going off a few years before i left the UK http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/1.1.htm But thanks for youer help.

I´m i right it changed from 240 V to 230 V about 11 years ago

Good afternoon is the voltage in the UK 230V

Well there´s a good point. I also think you have to vet your clients before you go to them i.e in the case of the machine not being plugged in or with electrical installation ( fault ) ask them if they have unplugged everything and clearly tell them that a call out fee will be charged. If it...

Thank you for your input If there is anyone else that can put where words down i´m only trying to defend the reasons for call out charges. Thank you in advance... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If i´d said there´s 150 quid prize for the best reasons i´d have had more luck

Why do you charge a call out fee. Does this depend on where you are situated where your called out or have you a standard rate ??? I´m not interested in how much you charge but would like the info on your reasons as i´m trying to write a topic for a local paper.

Thanks Pensdown it looks OK but not perfect i´ve been to try it tonight come back think gauge all is forgiven :lol: That´s one of only a few things i miss about the UK power trunking, distance saddles, conduit boxes, couplins, bushes, think gauge galv conduit & nipples :shock: i´ve got...

Hi RF The PVC spring thing i´ve tried. The tube i can tell you now is rubbish. Are you using push on coupling in the UK on galv tube or are you still using the stock and dies ?

Does anyone have any trick of the trade in using a conduit bender with thin wall galv conduit as when i´ve passed the 45º mark it´s tending to crease. I used the same machine for years with conduit thinker wall for threading but this push on fit crap conduit just does not seem to go 90º without...

Why would you want to use this switch in the first place ??? I ask is it for aesthetics only ???? Not really the kind of thing you´d want switching 230V flos as there´s a 3Amp limit on them i´m guessing it´ll be on a 6A or 10A lighting circuit. You could use it to operate a contactor...
