Apologies here - I didn't look I thought it was still BAS replying. I appreciate your replies.
Ah, ok, so it's not what is said that counts, but who is saying it.
But it feels like you made assumptions based on other threads that perhaps I'm impatient and need to know urgent advice and made up the fact I'm using a spark....as a DIYer I must say, when I've posted on this /and other forums, you do sort of hold your breath and wait for the sarcasm/someone tearing you a new one because you've missed out a small detail. Or being belittled because how dare a non professional attempt work...I put as much info into the original post of install method, lengths, location and cable size.
The inference when details are required because electrician is playing golf or on holiday is yes, he is fictitious.
It happens a lot.
I just needed to know how close to a breakers limit a breaker would cover!
Not before the 20th tee, you didn't.
Your replies consisted of-
1) 'Well just keep trying your spark, I don't believe you have one, don't dare come on a forum for help'
Not how dare you, just tell the truth OR wait and ask the person responsible.
2) "has he told you what to get?" -'im calling you out I don't believe you have a spark'
Same.
3) I give the reason I cant ask him, and you basically say well just wait, "it's not Friday for very long"
In other words - ask him tomorrow.
He is the person responsible. It IS he you should really be asking.
Don't forget we don't know you nor the electrician or your relationship.
Our answers can be viewed by anyone.
4) Sarc-y remark about me using 6mm for sockets
Is the point valid or not?
If you think 10mm² preferable for a - what 9kW hob? - then surely 2.5mm² is inadequate for innumerable plugged in appliances.
(Incidentally, with diversity and your cable you can now have a 45kW hob - and a 9kW one could get away with 1.5mm²)
If a guy wants to OCD all the cables and clip them neatly to the board before they enter the CU and then leave everything neat and tidy ready for the spark to tighten all connections, or chase and run all the cables, metal trunk them all in and let the spark check everything - just because he enjoys being part of it all - i don't see what's wrong with that! I hope this clarifys I'm not ignoring legal requirements just looking for a buzz!
There is nothing wrong with it but QUERIES SHOULD BE ANSWERED BY YOUR ELECTRICIAN. That's all we keep saying.
Learn to be patient.
