    Ring main with no earth ring!?!

    The ring must be split in between two sockets. My first job would be to find out between which 2 points it's split. (Disconnect all ring conductors at do. Link line and earth of one cable and test between these At the sockets, then once you've identified the sockets with continuity, repeat the...

    Cable Routing help required.

    If you can't go from above, go from below, simples. Nice neat strips cut into the plasterboard will be a piece cake to sort, or overboard the ceiling, nice cheap job in the grand scheme of it. Get that ceiling opened. Leave the "tiny socket" as it is, cut both cables and take a loop over to your...

    JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) JIB - Correct application of travel time and overtime

    They are for if your travelling to site daily, e.g. 20 miles as the crow flies from office is band 2 so you get something like 6 pound for the return trip. The travel time allowance is your pay for travelling to site, so you get the same whether the journey takes 20 mins or an hour.

    JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) JIB - Correct application of travel time and overtime

    Standard rate only, not countable as overtime. E.g. 4 hours travel 8 hours on site = 11.5 @std and 1/2hr @ time and half Or if on site a shorter time it's 7.5 @std plus whatever extra as std rate, but the have to count it as 7.5hours contracted so can't take time out of the other days to make...

    Floods on insulated steel buildings

    Thank you for your input guys, it's been really helpful. I must say I massively underestimated the rigidity of the cladding, I was concerned that as soon as you tightened a fixing through it would just crush the two layers, this certainly wasn't the case. In the end I cut a length of strut to...

    Floods on insulated steel buildings

    I was thinking the vertical strut on the inside so the fitting would be secured through the building, the only strut outside would be behind the light in order to bridge the corrigations. The cladders have left some trim on site, are you thinking bolt a strip through 2 corrigations so bolts go...

    Floods on insulated steel buildings

    got a few 100w floods to mount on a newbuild. The walls are clad with insulated cladding, outer tin strip, insulated ion, thin tin strip. I can't get a fixing into the top purling, due to guttering. The client wants the floods mounted between en the top 2 purlins. I was thinking 2 bits of units...

    Awkward switch entry's

    Thanks for the replies guys, think it will be an adaptable box, a 25mm galv tube down with my switch wires etc and my strapped swa glanced into another's galv tube with a coupler and reducer at high level, don't think a galv tube and a saw entering the same switch would look overly great...

    amd 3 or not.

    Local b&q were flogging them off for 32 quid, when they ran out they stuck a stack of bg and 3 10 way loaded boards behind the sign. The till attendant wanted 57 quid till I showed him their balls up, never seen a sign disappear so quick. Cheap board for me, didn't even need one :)

    wylex nsb/nsx

    Nope, having this problem getting robots at the moment. The new style breakers are only compatible with the comb style bus bars with the prongs, and don't have the little slit in front of the cable clamp for the older style bus bars to slot in. Big error by Wyler to be honest

    Supply cable size

    It doesn't quite work like that, most houses only have a max of 100amp supply, so if we looked at it as there may be 3 showers on at once everybody would have 3 phase supplies and bigger electricity bills, diversity is taken on assumptions that not all 3 showers will be running at once while the...

    Clean Suggestions for Cutters 10-25mm

    For reference mate, there's no such thing as Gs38 tools, Gs 38 is a guidance standard for test leads and only test leads, the main points are no more than 2mm exposed probe, fused leads and finger guards as well as a few other things. Every days a learning day, that's what we're all here for
