    Help settle a disagreement

    Cheers Paul. Yeah, to be honest mate he's not a supervisor but he probably wishes he was. A better term would be a stupidvisor. Likes to think he's "educating me". He doesn't even have his 2391 lol whereas I do. Not that makes me any better but still. I think it's because my work is more...

    Help settle a disagreement

    Thanks for the replies. Indeed sometimes one just has to apply common sense. Probably was OTT running it on it's own but was only a short route anyhow. Just another example for something for Mr. super spark to pull me on. Honestly, sometimes there is just no need.

    Help settle a disagreement

    Ok so that pretty much sounds like I'm ok and he is just making excuses to be unreasonable. With regard to the fan wiring (SELV fan load cable) I assume that I would have been ok to run the 2 core pvc flex with the shower T + E cable in the same trunking/ Forgive me if this is a daft question...

    Shower cable size calc

    Hey all. Hope everyone is well. Ok, I'm currently doing a rewire on a ground floor flat. The entire job will be done in trunking and I have an apprentice with me. Now, my intention is to run a 10mm cable to the shower as it's 9.5kw (I do this as a rule of thumb). This is also in our company...

    Sockets under windowsill + near sink

    Yes I appreciate what your saying with regard to safe zones. The cables are run within 150mm and are rcd protected (new wylex con unit incoorperating RCBO's). So, I have met the regs where rcd protection is concerned for additional protection. Regarding the sink yes the cooker switch is...

    I work for the council and trust me when I say this, when you see the state of some of the properties and the people in them, a cup of tea is the last thing on your mind.

    Food time!!!!!!

    I personally used to bring in sandwiches and leave them all day and have them at stupid o'clock and of course by that time I felt physically sick. Probably didn't help by the fact that my boss worked like a trojan and ran around at 100mph. I felt obliged to carry on. Not anymore though, Your...

    Everyone makes mistakes, Whats yours ?

    Go on then I'll add another one for the record. Working again as an apprentice (honestly). Second fixing house and fitting the two way switch up top. Got my cores mixed up and on power up the 2 way did the bathroom light and the landing light was simply a one way. Yes I looked rather red faced...

    Everyone makes mistakes, Whats yours ?

    Allow me please to add some of mine. Fitted a smoke alarm as an apprentice on the landing only to realise that the airing cupboard door would not open as it was too close. Taking a cover off a 3 phase panel in a distribution warehouse and managed to "drop" the cover right down onto the 125A...

    Problem with 2 way landing whilst replace consumer unit

    Ok. I don't want to sound like I'm telling you how to suck eggs here but as a rule of thumb it is always wise to identify your conductor ends to make sure you know exactly what is what and I don't necessarily mean when you remove the old consumer unit but when you go to place the new one on...

    Problem with 2 way landing whilst replace consumer unit

    I agree with Des 56. It is quite possible that you have either A) got your Neutrals mixed up between the split load bars or B) your Neutrals are correct and it is the Line conductors that are infact mixed up. This would seem to be pointing in the right direction I think as you mentioned that...

    Advice would be appreciated

    Cheers for the replies guys. Then I will leave it as it is. Apart from the twin socket of course :) However is that not a bit of a grey area though? I mean currently it is as I said a 20A DP but in the regs it mentions that an FCU "not directly connected to the ring" (as is the case here)...
