First off, I think your operatives are right to refuse to pull the fuses, you cannot expect someone who works for you to carry out any illegal activities, you can guarantee if the sh*t hit the fan it would get blamed on them.
Very different kettle of fish if your self employed, you take your...
It would appear so :-) but it might be worth tracing core in JB for loose connection etc. Following that give programmer a clout see if that brings it back to life
Find which cable goes into the programmers "HTG" terminal on the back, use your voltmeter to check between that terminal and neutral, should read 0 volts with heating off on programmer, 240 with heating on i.e press override on programmer, you may have to open the JB to test the cable at that...
Do the shower units even specifically need rcd protection as they are outside the 'room containing a bath/shower'. IMO would it not be the same to say that an immersion needed RCD protection because it fed a shower head? BTW I'm not sure just debating :-)
You will have to test the programmer by checking voltage on the outputs when its calling for heat/ hot water, could easily be the motorised valve or room stat.
Sounds like PME to me TBH. Around our way it is fairly common to have TNS overhead supplies, with a concentric coming over + a bare earth straight from the poletop transformer, although I have only seen it on farms directly supplied from a transformer in the garden/field, gives good readings and...
Ahh right shows you how much I read it then before spouting righteous comments on 'the way I would do it" :-)
Cheers Murdoch,
OP - there is probably a spark local to you on here
Aye, I would bond it wherever accessable, However from what I have read the OP says his stop tap and meter is at the back of the property, therefore I would say the proper place to bond would be there, as this is the start of his pipework, the bit under the floor probably is mains pipework as he...
Am I missing something here, I think the OP says HIS stop tap is at the back of the house, Would it not be more sensible just to bond it after his stop tap? Rather the under the floor on the water boards (presumably) pipework?
you could c2 any ones which are incapable of holding a plug in properly anymore recommending replacement and just put observation for the others.
I wouldn't loose any sleep tho :-)
its common for sockets to be on the ceiling in schools/ conference rooms shops especially for projectors etc , seems to cause no major issued long term
we still issue PIR's on certain contracts which begun before the changeover and they have no interest in changing thr system, it's 5 year contract and eicr's came in after the first, same crap different form really tho!
you obviously feel some need to prove yourself to the forum though or you wouldn't be bothereded to keep posting trumpet blowing messages about yourself?
'get out clause' Sums it up nicely for me
It suggests that "it's not right but it's okay" if it's already like it.
which I think is certainly the case with an existing 6mm shower circuit supplying an 8.5 shower
