    Revision for 17th Edition exam

    I did my 17th edition exam early this year and it's not that difficult, but it's very fast-paced by design. What they are looking for is your ability to use BS7671 efficiently in order to find information that you don't know. They don't expect you to know everything, they want to see that you...

    Black / red cable connector

    For automotive applications, crimp connectors are usually best. I'd also recommend heat-shrink tubing to keep moisture out.

    Advice on this little number! Power and lighting in same switch?

    As long as the switch and conductors are suitably rated, then I can't see a problem.

    Loft wiring advice please

    Simple answer - check to see where the permanent-line is located, at the switch or at the lamp (advice below): Common Wiring (Loft Lamps) In a loft, the permanent-line will often go to the switch first, with the lamp connected directly to the switch. - Common way to tell: the neutral conductors...

    Down lights and transformers

    I agree, however I'd also replace the down-lighters. Fire-rated GU10 down-lighters are so cheap (even fore big brand names) that it seems silly not to. Also agree, the landlord holds the responsibility and will most likely go ahead with changing the down-lighters for fire-rated ones, small...

    Came across this yesterday

    That looks a mess! The earth clamp (as previously mentioned) looks especially bad and I'd be interested to measure the Ze. Plus there's no labelling at MET.

    British Plugs / Sockets Regulations (BS1363)

    It seems that all the legitimate PDFs are paid-for, at a expensive price too! Thank you for the link Wilko, I'll check it out. It does seem that they are keen to charge for their documents, it's just a shame it's so much money. Like you say, I think the library is the best idea. Thank you for...

    British Plugs / Sockets Regulations (BS1363)

    Thank you for your help M-Ty! I had a look on the website www.bs1363.org.uk which is great, but I'd love to see the BS1363 standards for myself (even though raw-standards are usually long, boring, complexly-worded) but it would be ideal to take notes from. The library is a good shout, I'll...

    Do electricians actually need to have the 17th Edition?

    There are a few things to consider if you don't have a current version of BS7671 with the relevant guidance notes and building regulations relevant to your work. If Things go Wrong: If you did some work resulting in a fire/electrocution and you where sent to court on trial, you'd need to prove...

    looking for a new MFT tester

    I'd recommend Di-Log MFTs. They are incredible value for money, have many of the features of the top-brands and conform to all the same standards. Really reliable, accurate, and cost-effective.

    British Plugs / Sockets Regulations (BS1363)

    I've been doing a bit of research on the standard British 3-pin plug under BS1363 as I would like to know exactly what is/isn't compliant so I can advise customers if I spot an appliance using a substandard plug. I know there are basic and well-known considerations such as:- live pins must be...
