CPC is the circuit protective conductor, commonly known as the earth wire. t&e is twin and earth cable.

You wouldn't fancy this then: http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/Internet/viewVacancy.do?selectedVacancy=0&ref=COF/20144 :lol:

There's apparently a national shortage of midwives and NHS dentists. Not sure about a shortage of electricians. I've never experienced it.

A spur is defined in part 2 of the regs as a branch cable from a ring final circuit. (P.202 Basic Electrical Installation Work, T.Linsley).

>Nobody needs 350 watts of lighting in their bathroom. Christian & Becky may have a ginormous bathroom!

The ratchet mechanism will not be released until the terminal is fully crimped. edit: does that make any sense. I've been drinking while watching the footy.

A few things we need to know: Size of house? Are you living there currently? Number of socket outlets? Number of light fittings? Cooker/shower/heating? Any outdoor wiring (e.g. garage/shed?)

A colour blindness test?

Not my field but what about the rest of the work they did? Does this not come under any building regs?

If you're thinking about becoming a spark then make sure you've got a healthy bank balance. To do domestic wiring you need a minimum of 2 courses: 17th edition IEE regs (C&G2382) Part P domestic installers course My local training centre (http://www.premtrain.co.uk/courses.html) offers 2382...

Seems rather ridiculous to me. Does anyone think that cowboys, on hearing that sockets can now be fitted in bathrooms, will take any notice of zones & IP ratings?

Looking for a reasonably priced crimping tool that will crimp lugs as well as RYB crimps. Are they available? Any personal recommendations would be welcome, ta very much.

Depends on the rating of your cooker. Upto 3kW can be plugged into a 13A socket. Anything larger needs it's own dedicated circuit.

More I = P/V than V = IR actually. Must remember not to post after a pub lunch!

Sorry, part P registered is what I mean.

Yes I should have done my Ohm's Law calcs first! Don't know where I plucked those figures from. Think i'll stick to cable tray :lol:

How do you intend terminating armoured cable into a 13A socket? Yes you do have to notify LABC or better still get an electrician.

I think it's 4mm upto 13.5kW (32A MCB) and 6mm upto 18kW (40A MCB) but i'm prepared to be corrected!
