    Do I need a rewire? Advice and quote

    The fuseboard most definitley needs upgrading, if you hire an Electrician to do this then he/she will have to test the installation as well to certify it. When they do that you will have a much better understanding on the electrical installations condition. I'm never one to raise unnecessary...

    Random question for the day.......

    Hi Louk, No such luck. The suppliers just wanted us to refer to European standards. I think it was a request that hadn't been made before at the time and they just let us work to what we knew. We documented our work to BS 7671 but pulled out and/or in the IEC regs would could find for the...

    Call of duty WW2

    I still think back to the Medal of Honour beach assault as the best war gameplay I've ever experienced. I was also a big modern warfare fan but fell out of love with the franchise with all the jet pack, futuristic, jumpy shooty sh!t. I like battlefield too, but you have to have a good group on...

    Water bonding only 6mm

    I think most of us have opted to carry the 10mm for bonding these days, and I know many reference documents do recommend 10mm. But 'if' on this occasion it could be a 6mm, and the Boiler guy is right, then it's best not to dispute. I agree though, especially as the gas is 10mm, I would have...

    Water bonding only 6mm

    Confirm the earthing system and if it should be a 10mm then inform the client one last time and mention that it will have to be a departure on your Electrical Installation Certificate as these (departures) do have to be agreed with the client.

    what is the correct sequence for locating faults?

    Is this a legitimate question from a paper? If so it's blooming stupid. Being skilled/competent in fault finding is all about having the ability to approach every eventuality dynamically, on a case by case basis. If this is from a testing course then the answer would be: 1 stop testing...

    Code cables in walls with metal partitions

    My take on it is.. If cables can be subjected to vibration, movement then it would lean towards a C2. If insulation is holding it in position or its not not to be disturbed then it can lean to a C3. It's one of those observations where a better understanding on the use of the installation may...

    In PAT testing what is the precise meaning of he term luminaries

    An old post I know. But in case anyone actually comes back here, a luminaire is a light fitting. Like this.. It is called a luminaire because it consists of control gear and so is more than just a lamp. and yes. You should be 'PAT testing' it. :ninja:

    Question about NVQ with XS Training

    What a good response from you guys at Xs training. I've seen so many training companies twist their opinions on prerequisites to suit their needs and not that of the learner. I may have to get back in touch with you guys soon as well..

    I'm back on the tools. What the hell is wrong with these testing companies?

    Well I'm am out of the training game for a bit.. I've got a couple of work offers but I am basically whoring myself out to whatever is paying for the foreseeable.. So I've done a full test of a primary school this week, I was handed Amtech Fastest loaded on a laptop which had all the cert data...

    New caravan site

    SPDs? For what part? I've often installed similar to as telectrix describes. ESQCR prohibit PME earthing facilities on the pitch socket, so I would distribute PME, isolate the earth (and label it not to be connected) then TT at each point, then something like a 25A/30mA 61009 per pitch. If...
