    Possible borrowed neutral ring mains

    Hello, Yes this would indicate a cross-connection between the 2 RCDs If it only trips when you turn the MCB on, it indicates the line conductor that has been cross-linked. If it trips instantly when you turn the RCD on, this would indicate a cross linked neutral. A popular cause of this is...

    The whole time you have had this issue, have you had the same PSU in the computer, or the same model? Also what's the Rating of the power supply unit in Watts. Average is 350W - 450W. It will be on the PSU itself.

    Hello, you will most likely use 1mm squared Heat resistant flex What do you mean by crimping tool to be used? The conductors usually terminate into terminal block in the wiring center. CAT 5 should be wired using one of the 2 standards. Best to stick with what's on the back of the faceplate...

    All fault finding is, is testing. The only difference is while testing you will find a bad reading indicating a fault. All the tests are the same and the same process should be undertaken. For example, if you have a circuit that trips the RCD when you turn it on, it would indicate a Line to...

    Something you may have not known

    I have seen PILC cable, that's it. Although I believe I was told that there are cables with oil for cooling between the UK and France

    Something you may have not known

    Hello, about 2 months ago I was working on a rewire for a large property, and we had to have the DNO come out to upgrade the supply. Whilst we were chatting, I asked him what the black stuff was dripping from the cable down the wall and he told me that it's the old bitumen melting from a loose...

    Sy cable question

    As @Wilko pointed out: SY control cables are not suitable for fixed wiring applications requiring compliance with the regulations set out in BS7671 So there wouldn't be a regulation to specify in the first place.

    Sy cable question

    You don't HAVE to run a separate earth but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO, AS ITS GOOD PRACTICE AND TAKES A EXTRA FEW MINS AND A TINY BIT OF CABLE. Again, I was taught to earth the Braid using the appropriate glands, but the braid CAN NOT be used as a protective conductor. Terminate your SY like...

    My Christmas Present

    If I was going to buy it from test meter I would get the Kewtech KT65 Accessory Bundle. I used to have some of those lighting adapters and they are good for freeing up an extra hand to make sure you have a good earth connection.
