    MCBs on.. But still power?

    Just for future reference, the red 100a main switch is only a switch, it will never trip on overload or a short circuit fault. As Westward10 has asked a good question, if the yellow buttons cause the RCDs to trip....then there is power present at the DB, if they don’t, then you have no power.

    Volt sticks and what is you opinion

    Wouldn’t trust them to prove something’s dead, but I find them useful to locate and verify circuits particularly where you can’t use a martindale or where FCUs don’t have neons, and you don’t have to unscrew fronts to get at the terminals. Also handy for identifying a cable you need to trace...

    Hi All. Need some advice

    Quite possible the power going off (to the boiler) then being turned back on has caused the boilers circuit board to blow a component.... I speak from experience here, as I did it to my own a few years back....accidentally switched it off, realised in a second, put it back on....blew 3a fuse in...

    Flickering lights, tripping RCD and voltage at consumer unit...

    Nasty things, loose or lost neutrals on main supply. I remember once there was a neutral fault on a 2 phase supply of a large HMO. The fault was a bad joint on the DNO cable in the street (ancient PILC). The underground joint went altogether and the neutral was lost, the fault was only noticed...

    I pleased the company paid for it as I feel it was a waste of time and money! Tutor “ ok, we now fit metal clad DBs....moving on. Anybody heard of AFDDs?.......ok, we now fit them but it’s not currently a requirement....moving on....” That’s pretty much how it all went, although one thing I...

    18th Edition exam...Thursday

    I did a One day course last month with the exam at the end. I had previously done the 17th over 10 week (3 hours per week with mock tests) I found the 1 day course (compared to 10 week) to be very rushed and really can’t remember anything, it was so fast paced! And no mock tests! Having said...

    capping is it illegal

    It’s strange how some regular members who post on here are often rated with negative icons....usually by those “ghost members” who rarely (if ever) post comments on here!:mad: Incidentally, should the afore mentioned “ghost members” be reading this and feel the need to rate this post with a...

    Daft question I'm sure

    No...no. Safe isolation procedures were carried out and all conductors proved dead;)

    Daft question I'm sure

    This is why switches should be at 1450mm...obviously the IET people who made it 1200mm don’t have kids!
