    Ip44 230v zone 1?!

    On a side note, the zonal information given by the manufacturers is incorrect, there is no zone around a basin, makes a mockery of the regulation telling you to take manufacturers instructions into account really.

    Meter tails >3 metres in length

    It’s the Blind leading the blind, it’s in the ESQCR, no it’s in BS7671.

    Surge protection cable length

    Yes pretty much, it can exceed 0.5 meters but not 1meter.

    Surge protection cable length

    The Length can be reduced by simply bolting the PE to the earthed chassis of say the DB enclosure, rather than using a separate conductor and adding to the length. See Hager’s version

    Surge protection cable length

    No, I mean that is the answer, the line conductor and PE should ideally not exceed 500 mm and in no cases exceed a meter. Same applies to the neutral and PE.

    Surge protection cable length

    The line(s) conductor and PE in total from the ocpd to the SPD or neutral conductor and PE.

    Bonding of Water pipes (plastic incomes)

    Yep everyone bonds the gas on a new build despite the fact it’s a yellow non conductive pipe supplied in the ground but they see copper in the meter box and bond it anyway because that’s how it’s always been done. Even more laughable is when bottled gas gets bonded....?‍♂️?‍♂️

    EICR coding twin and earth tails/riser

    Because safety continuously evolves along with our knowledge and learning from not implementing something, an example would be premature collapse of cables having had firefighters die because of it, that regulation is very much applied retrospectively in my inspections. Fused neutrals as my...

    EICR coding twin and earth tails/riser

    The level of danger is still present regardless of what edition it was installed to. Fused neutrals where once a thing, they would certainly warrant a C2 code regardless of what edition it was installed to. The question is do the cables present a potential danger with how they are installed or...

    Fire Alarm Circuit RCD Protection TT System

    If the cable is installed in the wall less than 50mm etc etc then you can not use a 100mA rcd for the required additional protection, is it buried in a wall or is it surface? Having it on its own individual rcbo and ensuring selectively with all other circuits is not an issue, especially as an...

    UK Why are new build prices so bad?

    Drilled and fixed direct to block work or noggins fitted then fixed if dry lined wall

    UK Why are new build prices so bad?

    So you are saying £250 for a first fix labour only? Walk away.

    Eicr no CPC on lighting circuit

    I’m glad you brought the regulation up because people are convinced in changing the fixing screws to nylon or putting caps over the heads, which is a ridiculously waste of time.

    TT systems and eicrs ?

    You can either preform a Ze of the installation using a loop tester or the Ra test procedure, there is no requirement to carry out both tests, the former being the easier/preferred method as it’s more convenient.

    New Kewtech tester in the pipeline

    Wait until you need a tester to test AFDD’s is all I’m saying....

    Meter tails >3 metres in length

    Unless your single dwelling electrical installation is pulling more than the 16mm tails (around 87 amps) then I don’t think there’s a particular issue.
