    Is too late to start .

    Opened this thread and then realised it was from 2019 and though “who’s made the mistake of replying to such an old thread?”. Nice to see it wasn’t a mistake and the original poster had come back to post again with an update and a good outcome! Well done mate

    Extending neutrals with WAGO's in the socket

    Don’t have sleepless nights thinking about it. There’s no safety issue whatsoever for you to worry about.

    different make SPD in consumer unit

    Like Davesparks says sometimes it’s easier to just change something and rid yourself of the potential headache of all the other implications that come with standing your ground. There’s definitely cases to be made for it being incorrect and it’s not 100% a written rule that it’s OK. It’s...

    different make SPD in consumer unit

    Is this one you’ve installed? If so and you’re questioning it, why not swap it for the same brand as the DB and then you’re covered?

    UK Old lighting cables in new install

    Was this removed in amendment 2?

    Lost EICR Periodic Inspection

    not too long ago I was in a situation where my computer was completely wiped and therefore so were the test cert backups and program for NICEIC software. Was told by them there was nothing they could do and I’d have to start over. I’ve since had a few customers on the phone who have lost the...

    UK Old lighting cables in new install

    All ok, I would sleeve it but it doesn’t necessarily need to be in my opinion. Board would require a sticker advising to be aware that old and new colours both used in the installation.

    I.R. testing existing circuits

    Just out of interest would you not be concerned by a reading as low as 1 or even 2 megohm? We only really carry out new install so more often than not our readings are always as high as our testers can go which is >999 Whenever I see a reading which is below 100 even I instinctively start to...

    Virtual Training / Fire Alarm Training

    Just googled Aico training and it looks like it’s only for domestic settings which isn’t really relevant to me unfortunately!

    Virtual Training / Fire Alarm Training

    The only thing I’ve seen so far is a virtual training, I’m assuming it’s a Zoom meeting style training maybes, through the NICEIC. I think there are 6 units total: fundamentals, design, installation, commissioning, maintenance, domestic. £175 for the first module which is virtual but I’ve just...

    Quinetic Switch Range

    Wondering if anyone who uses quinetic switches regularly knows whether there’s a receiver which boosts the range of them further than 25m (indoor)?

    Torque Talk

    I’ve actually had this happen on distribution equipment where I’ve followed manufacturers torque recommendations. Another reason why ultimately I prefer the gut instinct method.

    Torque Talk

    As above, only use mine on distribution boards. 3.5nm on some terminals seems a lot and I quite often find the screwdriver slipping and starting to round the screw head before the driver clicks to confirm torque. On the flipside, one board I’ve worked on asks for all connections on the earth...

    BS7671 Artificial Intelligence App

    Wonder if they’d let you take a copy of that version in when sitting your 18th hmmm 😅

    BS7671 Artificial Intelligence App

    This sounds intriguing. Was literally wondering the other day why there isn’t a PDF version of the regs where you can search for keywords etc or any word for that matter. I think they’re probably worried that it’ll be distributed online to thousands of people and affect the sales of the paper...

    Virtual Training / Fire Alarm Training

    Anyone ever took part in any of the virtual classroom training sold by the NICEIC? Interested in learning more about fire alarm systems and emergency lighting so figured they might be a good place to start. Is a fire alarm qualification similar to an electrical apprenticeships where you’d have...

    Game Changers - The successes and the flops?

    How much does the quickwire stuff set you back? Not much use for it in the work I do, seems more for the domestic market?

    Game Changers - The successes and the flops?

    Also recently started using the Bosch PowerChange arbour and hole saws. Great bit of kit when drilling consecutive holes, quick release saves a lot of time.

    Game Changers - The successes and the flops?

    Rhino ladder clamps for van roof rack! There was nothing worse than needing your ladders off the top of the van in the pouring rain or when it’s snowing and then having to spin those old rusty ladder clamps that get stuck every half turn (hopefully everyone knows the type I mean!) ….and then...
