    Do electricians actually need to have the 17th Edition?

    That seemingly wasn't the case. I attended the same college while I done my apprenticeship. At the time the BS7671 was a 'bolt-on' that college paid for. The BS7671 was removed and the only answer I was given was to save money. BS7671 wasn't covered in any part of the curriculum otherwise.

    Do electricians actually need to have the 17th Edition?

    I worked for a college between February and September this year assessing apprentice electricians. The college removed the 17th Edition from the apprenticeship framework recently. My apprentices when qualified were getting their gold cards without the BS7671 based on their NVQ Level 3 & 2330...

    Burying Galvanised Steel Conduit

    Difference between having an idea and seeing if anyone else has experience in it than going right ahead and just doing it! After all someone may have said they've buried a galv conduit wrapped in denso tape and it was fine 10 years later. In which case I'd probably give it a go myself.

    Burying Galvanised Steel Conduit

    The run is approx 30 meters. I will have to purchase either 30m of 10mm² 3c SWA and a consumer unit for the garage. Or, 30m of 1.5mm² 3 Core for lighting, 30m 2.5mm² for heating and another 30m 4mm² for power. Not a huge issue I admit, but if there was a way I could use the materials I have...

    Burying Galvanised Steel Conduit

    Installation time isn't an issue as I will be installing myself. There's also the other issue of getting data out to the garage. I could run a seperate PVC tube underground for the data, but I would still run galv up the side of the house as PVC never looks as good as galv conduit in my opinion.

    Burying Galvanised Steel Conduit

    I'm not sure I can believe that it cannot be stopped rusting? Surley if all threads are protected, the full length of the conduit is painted thoroughly and covered in PVC then it's going to last a long time? After all an SWA is just galvanised steel wires covered by a PVC sheath! Or even...

    Burying Galvanised Steel Conduit

    Agreed! However, this isn't particularly straight forward. I should have probably put more detail into my initial post. I'm currently in the middle of purchasing a new house. It's a 3 year old 4bed detached with a separate garage. Earthing system is PME/TNC-S and there's no bonding required in...

    Burying Galvanised Steel Conduit

    I was wondering if any of you have any experience burying galvanised steel conduit? My current plan is to make up the conduit, T-Wash it and give it a couple of coats of primer and hammerite before I sink it in the ground but I'm wondering if it will be enough? My Father has suggested covering...
