    PV non MCS wow.

    Agreed, hence EICR will be most explicit about limitations!

    PV non MCS wow.

    Well the owner is using the whole area for paying guests as part of B&B. She needs "satisfactory" on an EICR yet has has a load of dodgy unregistered installation works done by builders, so wants all C1 and C2 cleared before I issue the cert. I have explained that all I can do is an EICR on...

    PV non MCS wow.

    I am undertaking EICR at a sprawling domestic over a house and several barns/guest suites, which is knee deep in C2 and C1 observations. I have here a ground-mounted PV install without any documentation, not an MCS install, and (I just spoke to DNO), they have no record of it on G59 or G83 and...

    I'm told this is against regulations?

    It does, and I have needed to do that when moving a charger. (Lots of very sandy dry soil near here). I believe that it won't allow that any more in 18th edition.

    I'm told this is against regulations?

    But doesn't this need an impractically (for cheapo domestic install) low electrode resistance to achieve the 70V limit?

    I'm told this is against regulations?

    By all means. I have the Code of Practice. Point me in the direction if stuff I put down there is wrong. I'm happy to be better informed :)

    I'm told this is against regulations?

    Agree with that. If source is PME then it needs to be TT if it's mounted outside a building. This is also dependent on your own risk assessment providing evidence there are no simultaneously accessible extraneous parts belonging to the PME system. There is currently a "get-out" which allows use...

    Torque screwdriver settings

    I use one, more as a box-ticking exercise I have to say. I've been meaning to put it in the vice with kitchen weights and check the calibration since the "click" doesn't always feel appropriate, give or take, depending on the make-up of the conductor in the clamp. Some MCB's will damage fine...

    18th Edition Public Draft - I've made some commentary vids

    @widdler, is it something to do with my PC, a codec issue or something else? I've not seen this with any other audio or Youtube, just these. The audio on the (overcooked :)) musical intro works just fine. Once the voice starts the level is extremely low, and is over-echoed at about the same...

    NICEIC Certification Scheme COME ON NICEIC, WE DONT PAY OUR FEES FOR FUN!

    I suspect that those who write the software don't do real-world inspections. I use the Elecsa which I think was originally the same as NICEIC version, but apparently diverged a bit (They tell me it's more than just the logo). There are bugs (Software engineers might call them "features") right...

    3 position switch ; ON-OFF-ON

    @Markus, This entire thread makes no sense regarding your proposition for "ON OFF ON" switches (whatever they are). You presumably have a supply cable with one line conductor, you can switch in one place only. (ie your shed, or if you chose to change where the switch is located, at the house)...

    Another company has my name

    Yes, I guess that's the case. Hmm. But on a note to anyone else looking at potential URL's. I'm convinced that there is an army of "bots" working on behalf of those companies which buy and own (for sale) URL's of potential businesses. I think it's like airline tickets. Beware of using sites to...

    Advice needed - problem electrician

    I don't want to sound trite but you did mention "on Checkatrade".. You know that means he's paid best part of £1000 a year as a small business to get on their list? Bunch of leeches IMO. Their trading currency is the removal of genuine earned and voiced goodwill, in favour of a system which...

    Another company has my name

    Which of you holds the URL? That one holds the best cards. (Disregarding issues of limited status names which are protected)

    Adding to existing lighting with no CPC

    You might consider wireless. It's not nice and is something of a cop-out but it might be useful here. Megaman RF works (I think..do check) without neutral. There are some slightly irritating switching delays, but means you can replace existing switches with class 2 switches (no CPC), and add...

    Part P Face and my view on it

    Venting to the loft - normal practice..? Definitely not in line with Building Regs. You need Part F. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/468871/ADF_LOCKED.pdf

    LEDs tripping type 2MCB!

    A good idea that @marconi. I had a lot of trouble with a load of Meanwell LED drivers in the past for external floods. That trick may have saved me a load of a headache, and eventually needing a 16A D type for a 1 Amp load (Fortunately the numbers just worked out.. but it had me sweating).

    MFT1700 series wandering zero problems fixed.

    I wanted to do a video, didn't have much time and couldn't hold my phone up. Will cobble something up when I get a chance.

    MFT1700 series wandering zero problems fixed.

    Here's a tip for anyone still using an old MFT1700 series tester. Mine dates from 2012. I found about three years in - by 2015 in this case, that the zeroing of the leads on my MFT1720 was becoming increasingly random and the zero would wander about by a fraction of an ohm which became...
