    Extract fan recomendation

    Greenwood Airvac cv2gip rated IPx5 when mounted on the wall, also its a continuous extract fan so it would constantly ventilate the room. These are all we fit now. They did do a 12v version of this, not sure if its still available.

    Recovering from Covid

    Glad to hear your on the mend pal. Both my wife and I had runny nosed, head colds, and woke up a bit achy earlier on in the year.. Couldn't get a test then as I didn't have two of the main symptoms. Makes you wonder.

    What is the best way to go on Home Security?

    Most automation systems will be able to intergrate general motion sensors and camera systems into the alarm system sounds like this is the route you are going take. IMO its a good idea to make sure that a small UPS is used to keep the automation system, router and camera DVR energised in the...

    What is the best way to go on Home Security?

    @Natosha Jacobs its unfortunate that many routers have the same issue, some have a setting which you can login to the router and set a time to reboot each night Failing that if you are installing home automation you could schedule your socket to cycle power on and off. Or you could use a simple...

    Wagos on Final Ring Circuits

    Its not a busbar, its a connector with multiple cable outlets. I know you keep referring to the solid continuous piece of metal inside of the wago as a busbar, I get it, it even functions like a busbar. But its not a busbar its a connector, thats it's purpose and thats the standards its been...

    Wagos on Final Ring Circuits

    Not compliant with Bs7671 though, that would technically be 2 spurs off one connection on the ring.

    Wagos on Final Ring Circuits

    @John-SJW I'm enjoying the thread, and healthy discussion is good. Personally I have no issue with change but my stance on it is.. Socket outlets terminals are designed to take multiple conductors, the terminals are fixed and they have gone through a testing process to comply with BS1363 Wago...

    Wagos on Final Ring Circuits

    Just caught up with this thread! Wagos are great, but I don't like the idea of adding an additional conections on a RFC just so someone can come along later, with pre wired sockets and spur them off of the ring. Is this really what people do so they can and save a few seconds? if this is what...

    Voltage drop/2391

    The other basic method of working out the voltdrop they tend to use on the 2391 is using ohms law, I believe they use this to test the candidates basic knowledge You would need to use your R1+RN mutipled by the design current and then mutilpying by 1.2 to allow for the circuit to be running...

    Arc Fault Detection going global ...

    There were some exceptions to that regulation in the draft, that they missed out on in the article.

    Domestic CU's - who's fitting what and why?

    Surge protection devices. have just released a CU. Looks a similar to Lewden and Fusebox.. Think I'm going to one of these a try next CU I fit. All 100 amp A type RCCBS for split loads or A type RCBOs also they mention they are working on making AFDDs so sounds promising.

    What made you make the jump to self employed

    Not a method i would use, probably trying to be creative.

    RCD Types, Ticking time bomb

    I agree, I don't think there will ever be an effective way of testing these devices either, We just have to rely on the microprocessor and a flashing LED. I got it wrong earlier they can be used in Commercial, but the pollution degree is only 2 so consideration is needed.

    RCD Types, Ticking time bomb

    I agree with @pc1966 about the AFDDs. AFDDs are great but in terms of making installation safer I'm still failing to see the real benefits. I know they will pick up parrallel arcs but most likely a OCPD or RCD would take care of these, its rare that you get a high resistance joint between L-N...

    EV charging point course: which book?

    My guess is the spiral bound book is printed from PDF. I'd be a be a bit dubious about taking the spiral bound book into an exam.

    Type 'A' RCD test results

    The early Hager guidance of testing their A type RCDs was a bit of a cop out in my opinion. Westwood sums it up in his post above. Never understood why everyone else could make a 30mA type A RCD trip at 30ms at 150mA but Hager couldn't. At least they seem to have brought their devices inline...

    How busy are you...?

    I have two large jobs next year that will see me through the year. But at the moment I'm busy with lots of very small little jobs, the types of jobs you end up undercharged for.
