    NIC Rip off

    Yep it works out that we're now paying somewhere around £850 a year before any notification and cert costs. They tried to get payment from me early too, and I too refused. The thing is, they are watching us but who do we complain to?

    QS copying out my Certs

    Anyone heard of this before? I had a year contract with a Local Authority contractor. They wanted me to carry out EICR's on void properties but would only give me photocopy certificates. I would do the test and fill out the photocopy. Anyway, I found out that the QS in the office was copying...

    NIC Rip off

    Trouble is that architects have always specified NICEIC approved contractors. This still seem to be the case even though there are more schemes now.

    NIC Rip off

    Is it just me or do other feel like the NICEIC are ripping us off? We have been a member of the NICEIC for over 16 years and initially we just had the obligatory half day visit, which is included in the annual fee. One year we had about 6 months work in Doncaster (we are based in South...

    NICEIC Certification Scheme niceic entry requirements - Help please

    Why do you want to be in the NIC? We're with them and they are parasites. There are so many others now and they are mostly cheaper! If everyone does it then the NIC will have stop being such a rip off.

    three phase extension lead

    Guys What cable would you guys use to make up a three phase extension lead for use with a jet washer? I was thinking SY cable but I can't earth the sheath in commando sockets. Someone suggested a heavy duty rubber type flex. What do you think? The supply would be 32a per phase.

    Flickering LED

    I have just replaced some fluorescent fittings for some LED strip for a client. They work well and look the nuts. However the client has called to say that after the lights are switched off they start flickering/ flashing. I'm thinking of capacitance but I'm really not sure? Any ideas guys...

    110v tranny and rcd's

    This has probably been asked on here before but at the risk of being boring I shall ask again. Why do some 110v transformers trip rcd's when there is no sign of any fault in the supply flex or plug top?

    Another Customer Shafted by a Cowboy Builder

    I have to ask the question, why do some electricians do a halve arsed job and walk away? Makes the rest of us look bad. Read between the lines, your workmate probably went for the cheapest price he could after his bad luck with the builder. This is the end result. Pay peanuts..... Get Monkeys.

    two supplies to a relay

    The remote cables (running from the relay contacts) are feeding other mains contactors for pumps and heating devices.

    two supplies to a relay

    BS7671 states that a label should be applied if the circuits cannot be isolated by a single device . A single device could be the Main isolator. Surely this reg is referring to properties where there is more than one source of energy and therefore the supplies CANNOT be isolated by ONE device?

    two supplies to a relay

    No, you have indeed misunderstood. there are two circuits both with OCPD. one feeds the panel with 'juice' to make it work. the other goes into the contact terminals of a relay within the panel to control other devices that are outside the panel. the circuits are not connected together in anyway.

    two supplies to a relay

    Question for you guys; I have wired a control panel with 230v ac supply and within the panel there is a relay which is used to control other devices outside the panel. the relay operates when a device controlled by the panel operates. i.e. when the device is on, the relay contacts are closed...

    12v from 240v no neutral?

    Depends on the supply system. But then you were going to add that weren't you.
