White 2.5 T&E

[Hager]

Hi
No i did not do it. It was the guy down the road.

1. 2.5mm T&E i think here's the photo of 3 cables coming out we have a outside light on the patio controlled by the main incomer in the shed.

The cable is about i guess from the CU 20m there is a junction box under the door under the slabs so can't have a look.

The MCB is 20A the fuse carrier in the shed for the plug is 15A and lights 5A i was going to change to a 20A as we don't use the light on the patio i got the festoons wired for that.

It is all T&E under concrete.

Here's the cable going to the house

So you had it done?

Could you scan or take a photo of the installation certificate and schedule of test results? Blank out any names etc, it's just the technical information of interest.

Why does that need 3 cables? And I can't see anything coming off the main incomer except what there should be, so I think that you are (fortunately) wrong about that.

Not allowed.

Ye Gods.

This "guy down the road" is an incompetent and dangerous idiot, isn't he, not an electrician....

 

[Hager]

yep a long with the CU it was moved from a cupboard in the living room

i don't rember evening hearing about any sort of installation certificate.

1 Sorry i meant fuse unit the fuse there is one cable that goes into a light switch i will take a photo of at some point

Well it's to late now it is about 3-5m under ground so can't really do anything

Sorry a second mistake i meant shed not house

Thanks

Oh well, never mind then.

I hope it isn't one of your children who gets killed by that electrical installation.

Hi

Isolate it until you can have the supply properly and safely installed.

Anyway, why fuses? Surely the guy down the road had a couple of MCBs, or if he was fitting fuses, a rewireable Wylex standard?

No thanks to the sticker it's just the sheath colour i need it white

It's just a shed...

If you're so concerned about cosmetics that you're prepared to pay nearly twice as much for LSF cable (which AFAIK is the only way you'll get white), why aren't all the cables in conduit or trunking anyway?

i know that the white cable and old colours are breaking the law to newly install

1) There are no laws governing what colour the sheath can be.

2) If it's reasonable for you to use old core colours to modify or extend an existing installation which is in old colours then it's not unlawful.

P.S did the photos show up?

Where?

BAS I have to say this reply is superbly laid out and concise, and required absolutely no effort at all to decipher, many thanks for the time you took to save me the time to understand a crappy post layout as done by others

Hi
I have no idea i didn't do it so how to i know.

OK

Well the photos are were they should be in the message.

Thanks

I think someone must have been slipping me thick pills again

You insist on living in Leeds...

You should've lived somewhere intelligent like Ackworth, like I did!

Of course, I can see the reason why he needs white.

I think...

He wants white so it will look neat, like this:

I reckon he wants white cos he thinks the cores will be red and black

Whats the the point of Ackworth? All I know of there is the roundabout, the STUPID 30mph speed limit with cams, a garden centre on the r/a and the pub opposite. Theres nowt else there.

If its the same ackworth, between Upton and Ponte.
