    Bathroom lights stopped working

    I came across a similar situation recently and the stick indicated power on the circuit but the lights didn't work. Realised there was no return path, replaced the transformer and the circuit came to life. Give it a go, replace the transformer. Best of luck!

    RFC - no CPC continuity!

    It's a board change and I stumbled on CPC continuity issue on one of the RFC's. It's laminated flooring, but I will try topquark's advice on this. Cheers!

    Using a 8.5KW shower on a 6mm circuit.

    Thanks, folks for all your inputs on this. I simply asked for opinion from other "SPARKIES" and there was quite a mix of suggestions. I see no point arguing with grumpy ones; utter waste of time. Thanks again!

    All these circuits with spot lights & transformers!

    Hi, While doing an IR testing on the lighting circuits, these spot lights & transformers are a pain in the back side. The transformers are usually in the most inaccessible places and if you test them with 500v they get blown up or give undesirable results. Is testing IR only between earth and...

    RFC - no CPC continuity!

    The landlord wouldn't allow anything being damaged. Pretty much the same, not much deviation.

    RFC - no CPC continuity!

    Hi, I have just tested a RFC and the CPC was broken (no continuity). Tested all the socket on that circuits and R1+R2 was OK but I could't open a socket to check, as it was hidden (burried) behind a door frame and it must be a double socket with only one of its switches staring at me. To reach...

    Is this not legal?

    Hi malcolmsanford, I didn't mean to sound naughty. When I hit the line, "So, just because an electrician is registered doesn’t make them qualified." I thought even if you are registered with a body, you are not qualified to do PIR. Sorry, I didn't grasp the point with its full...

    Is this not legal?

    If someone registered with NICEIC as a Domestic Installer but not registered under “Electrical Condition Inspection Report (ECIR)” scheme, in theory he should not be doing a PIR. Is this right or wrong? But the reg. stipulated that PIR should be done by a competent person. I have seen survey...
