Which non standard socket to use

[Risteard]

Jolly good.

Now go away and stay away until you can stop being so useless and pointless.

Has anyone ever seen you and Winston in the same room at the same time?

It's hardly pointless or useless pointing out that your advice would result in a non-compliance with BS7671. Anyway you are unquestionably the most ridiculous "contributor" to this forum.

 

[Risteard]

Please show where BS 7671 says that no domestic premises may be considered to be under the control of a skilled or instructed person.

The 3rd Amendment changed it from supervision of a skilled/instructed person to a documented risk assessment - it retained the prohibition for domestic premises however (433.3.3 (a)).

Labelled socket-outlets, on the other hand - which you did not mention in your earlier post - are intended for server rooms etc. and not for some random socket-outlet in a house.

You remain a gulpin.

I don't know why you came back to this forum ban-all-sheds - everyone was happier whilst you were in self-imposed exile.

What about a lock on the MCB

 

[flameport]

the appliance is a calibration checkbox with RCD testing and requires it being powered from a non RCD protected circuit.

Are such things actually useful in any way at all? Including the other types which are just a collection of resistors in a box etc.?

Does any modern electrical test equipment fail in such a way that it appears to be working correctly yet provides defective results?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

The point is to show that your tester(s) are still working correctly. I suspect the answer to your last question is "yes". If dirt/corrosion/stress causes a connection to exhibit impedance which it should not, then the equipment could easily appear to be working correctly yet be providing defective results. Ditto if any component goes out of spec - these testers all have a lot of analogue components in them, and they are not go/no-go in the way that they work.

Unfortunately the answer to that is Yes .

If there was a separate circuit, that could be done.

But why? WOE would a lock be needed on his MCB?

No domestic premises may be considered to be under the control of a skilled or instructed person (or their new names), so your post is incorrect.

Can you show where BS 7671 says that? Apparently not.

The 3rd Amendment changed it from supervision of a skilled/instructed person to a documented risk assessment - it retained the prohibition for domestic premises however (433.3.3 (a)).

Can you explain why you are trying to rely on a non-existent regulation? Apparently not.

It's hardly pointless or useless pointing out that your advice would result in a non-compliance with BS7671.

Can you show what that non-compliance would be? Apparently not.

Can you explain why you think it is OK to come here and say things which are untrue? Apparently not.
