    Tails upgrade

    You would be wasting money getting them out to change their part, they won't be interested, 16mm is fine for almost all domestic applications, you may well find you have a 60A or 80A fuse anyhow. What they have between their cut-out aand meter is their property, I wouldn't even worry about it.

    Sounds like a dodgy RCD, use your testers ramp setting to see what threshold it trips at.

    Earthing system??? Concerned

    Be aware though that you can't just stick your earth into the neutral on every TNS supply, only after asking your local DNO and confirming! Years ago they would have been true TNS not anymore!

    Earthing system??? Concerned

    In our area, the DNO know every street and which ones are suitable for PME connection which is nearly all of them these days every joint on that supply cable done in the last 20 or so years will have been 'PME'D'.

    dp isolater /swa

    OK since all is quiet, I would purchase a wylex 108M and a 60 or 80A fuse to protect your submain (dependant on reference method), Move the isolator up put the Switchfuse below it and tail into that from isolator, then take your armoured straight into the switchfuse as it will be metal, I would...

    HELP please with next inspection date

    Cobra is right, you would have tested all circuits that you reconnected, stick all of your limitations and deviations down on the EIC and put a 5 year sticker on it?!

    230v 3 Phase Covertor Wiring

    Steve is right the 3rd phase is a 'phantom phase' created by capacitors, effectively static converters only run motors on 2 phases and they run pretty rough as well, some motors never really 'take to them' especially cheap crap motors you get now, with all the decent inverters out there now at...

    Catenary wire

    We always used to earth the catenary with 4mm when it was attached to metal poles, You won't find a specific requirement to do it though.

    Fitting a DB without updating the main bonding.. Bad crack or safer than before?

    6mm would be adequate if already in place and replacing is not an option IMO. If it was for my gran I would do the above and lose no sleep, definitely safer then before.

    Steel conduit wall thickness

    I've got all the dies for imperial conduit, you can successfully thread 25mm with 1" BSP dies, most of our works pipe vices are old and have 1" formers, the difference is so minimal! GLENN- You are right on taper threads usually only on gas, however I have seen them on water pipe where to...
