    32 amp 3 phase socket, 300ma RCD

    As per above from Dave. Swap to a 63A outlet and problem goes away. What gets plugged into it is not part of an inspection.

    NOT dodgy!! I wish we did this more in the U.K… Zurich. (All behind clear Perspex, if it’s not obvious).

    ElectriciansForums.net Recipe and General Food Lovers Thread!

    I discovered something the other day that I absolutely have to make when I get back home - an Italian traditional cake/dessert that they literally call 'Grandmothers Cake'. It's a sort of blend between a Genoise and a Frangpani tart and absolutely delicious!

    Work in Australia

    First question: how old are you? If you're under 46 then you're eligible for a sponsored visa. If you're older than that, then this is an altogether more tricky prospect. How it works is that there's no direct correlation any more between UK quals and Australian. You have to do an intensive...

    Shall I ask my sparky to run a 6mm or 10mm cable ?

    One thing which often (always?!) gets overlooked in these cases is the cost of energy losses in smaller -v- larger diameter cables over time. I vaguely recall that one of Lucien’s last posts on here ran through this from the viewpoint of car charging so I won’t repeat (and I’ll try to find and...

    I fired ours up twice before going away, now it’s back in store. Makes me sad, I love a proper bbq. The Aussie teases me about it often. No shrimp.

    Have I gone over the top with Lighting ?

    Go outside with a tape measure and put pegs, rocks whatever to rough out the kitchen plan - then overlay it with what your proposing with downlights. Yes - I think you’ll find you may have overcooked this!

    Nope, but I’m on my way to an airport for work. Very much looking forward to some warmer days!

    UK Landlord Trying to Deduct Deposit for Unnecessary Electrician Test.

    We may have to agree to disagree on this. The reference to a first inspection is simply to acknowledge that others may follow afterwards (at the five year or less period) for any new [continuing] tenancy.

    EICR - Help on my Request for Electrical Safety Alternatives and Quotes

    Do we actually know what voltage that door switch is operating at? It says it's switching a cupboard light, but if that light was 12v selv and the switch is on the 12v side then it's still ugly, but not a C1!

    UK Landlord Trying to Deduct Deposit for Unnecessary Electrician Test.

    As per my post above, I think this is a point worthy of debate. As we all know, BS7671 isn't a statutory instrument, so therefore any and all of it can be considered 'advisory' - as such, the advice (GN3) is upon change of tenancy. However - we are also informed by EAWR89 that BS7671 is...

    UK Landlord Trying to Deduct Deposit for Unnecessary Electrician Test.

    I'm going to take you to task on that.... It's change of occupancy. GN3 Table 3.2 (pg115) refers. Domestic accomodation is a maximum of ten years or at change of tenancy. Rented accomodation then has an additional requirement of maximum five years between I&T with a routine check yearly...
