does the fact that T+E having earth in the middle add to safety (with RCD), if anything melts the first thing it should touch would be earth. Is this a reason why you use T+E rather than flexible cable?

only the magnet is glued

what i did on our doors was take the small cylinder magnets out of the holders, make a small cut in the tubular door seal and push the magnet into the seal - dabbed with some epoxy glue. have worked fine for > 1 year

so do you need a 100mA RCD or a 100mA time delay RCD

In an ideal world - money no object, in a TN-S system and a split oad board would it be best to have a 80A 100mA RCD in place of the incomer and the usual 30mA RCD for protected circuits. I presume this would be safer, is it worth the expense?

If you dont earth the metal face plate and the box, and just earth the box when you undo the screws and pull away the face plate you aint earthed

try the tubular heaters from TLC

Anyone know where I can buy some trunking, Grey, 50mm x 50mm thanks

do these work?, can you touch live and not get a shock (if not touching neutral or earth or anything conducting to them). Also can you touch live with insulated rubber soled shoes or standing on a rubber mat. Obviously these are just additive safety measures but do they work?
