    Finding replacement LED driver

    It is a waste of time and money to replace something that turns out to not be faulty. Why don't you do some tests with a multimeter to establish where the fault is?

    Loop Ceiling Light

    As you are in Ireland I believe what you are doing is illegal and could land you with a four figure € fine best to call in a registered spark.

    Back box earthing

    That coax socket is useless as it is not screened. Bin it or take it back and buy a screened one. Like this: screened coax socket

    Bathroom fans in zone 1

    It is usual for the buyer to commission surveys etc not the seller. As a buyer I would not trust a sellers certificate, who knows he may have a mate providing certificates.

    What type of bulb is this?

    It's a quartz halogen bulb. That shape was common 20 years ago and they came in both clear and white class in various standard wattages, 60, 100, 150w. They claimed to be 25% more efficient than standard lamps. So probable equivalent to 180w incandescent. Look for LED equivalent of 180w. But...

    9kW 3ph Immersion Type Heater run in Single Phase

    I'm happy to be corrected.Tell me where. Where can you buy 133v appliances. Parts of Europe used to have 220/127 but I have never come across 230/133.

    That configuration is not used anywhere in the world.

    Gas or Electric Heating

    Rethink those figures. Gas is 1/3 of the price of electricity. (Look at your KwH cost on your bills).

    Induction Hob - Safe to use existing cooker circuit

    22+5 =27 which just happens to be the rating of 2.5mm cable. However because it is on a 32a MCB we need to use 4mm, no more.

    Induction Hob - Safe to use existing cooker circuit

    No that would be a waste of copper and waste of money. Even 6mm is over the top. It is a 32 amp circuit and all that is required is 4mm cable. The purpose of the MCB is to protect the cable not the appliance on the end of it.

    Changing single light in hall to 4 downlighters

    Note, there is no such thing as a 'Part P certificate'. Part P is a building regulation that's all.

    8 Gang Grid Switch relacement

    You concluded that people like because they had them? Perhaps they didn't like them but thought incorrectly that they have to have them.

    Main fuse query

    Why do you think that? Electricity is horrendously expensive compared to other forms of energy. Three times as expensive as gas per KWh.

    Ah yes, the idiots who remove plugs so the customer has to call an electrician before he can replace the appliance. Also of course possibly invalidate the manufacturers warranty, though not your legal rights of course. Chances are both fuses would go with a fault.

    Main fuse query

    The so called nominal is no where near what is encountered in practice except in NI which has always been 230/400.

    Main fuse query

    I could answer that with we have 3 phase so higher current devices use 415v, but of course it is not done domestically in the UK though it is in mainland Europe.

    Main fuse query

    You also have half mains voltage so twice the current is required fit any given load.

    Do you fit another panel in the lounge for the TV, DVD player, satellite receiver etc whose sockets are inaccessible behind furniture?

    Do they? Do you have any proof of that?

    8 Gang Grid Switch relacement

    One very good reason is that the appliance plugs will already be fused.
