Agree there's no reg but it's often mentioned that this is stipulated by the DNO - is this not the case? This is what I've heard from other people on here but never actually heard it direct.
I don't do any domestic works so forgive me for asking but what's the current requirement for carrying out domestic works and how does one achieve said requirements?
Still really confused...
So GP1, GP2, GP3 and GP4 are all seperate fuse boards which you've replaced the feeds to?
You've brought someone in to test the cables and they've advised that the cable you've pulled in to feed GP4 DB has an inadequate continuity reading?
I'm confused by what GP stands for?? General power rings?
If he has stated there's a poor reading but doesn't have the result, can you not just test the circuit and find out for yourself and come to your own conclusion? He could be wrong?
6 week courses shouldn't enable someone to carry out electrical work but I bet a lot of people doing the 6 week courses are decent and honest people who have been sold a load of crap but actually believe that it's worth something and at least they've went out of their way to try and gain...
From my experience, everyone carrying out electrical work who shouldn't be hasn't even been on one of these 6 week courses you're talking about. They're just handymen who think they can do it but they couldn't be more wrong
Not having a card might stop commercial electrical firms employing you but just like domestics, there will always be people carrying out commercial work who shouldn't be.
A lot of SP Henley blocks seem to only have one knockout for a screw meaning they've always got potential to spin .. poor design.
Why only one circuit per hole with the 20mm knockouts?
Do you provide an isolator for each new board you add in? Or if there's already one fitted after the meter do you use this to feed the Henley blocks first which in turn feed both boards?
If the meter tails to the plastic DB were 3m long and then you fed another board from the supply terminals of the main switch in the plastic board, could this been seen as having the meter tails being longer than the 3m recommendation from the DNO?
I wouldn't take the mick! People are buying "memes" these days just to say they own them so I wouldn't put it past anyone to sell a YouTube video. Ridiculous. Some people have too much money!
