I did telectrix it wasn't a voltage that was shown it was 55,5 ohms I think it must of been 55000 just that usually it would be 5.5K ohms on tester that is what has thrown me not sure if can get on with the Megger my old Kewtech seemed to be simpler and more reliable. On another point about...
Thank you Telectrix. So to clarify further then the 2.2K ohms measurement of true earth to any suspected/potential extraneous parts confirms whether these parts require bonding?
I still have limited experience and don't bite off more than I can chew but got asked to look at property for someone...
Afternoon
A simply question but like confirmation from the more knowledgeable. Can someone confirm if there is a direct short between a line conductor to extraneous pipework I.e water or gas. In what scenarios will the MCB trip or not trip? My own thoughts are that if it has a negligible...
Thanks bigspark your the only one who's ever clarified that. Is there any section in regs mentions this or links you know of that talks about scenarion more in depth. Would the testing just be testing between MET and any gas pipework can access and having reading below 0.05 and also the same...
Cheers PC I think in these scenarios I have no option but to find closest point can get access to pipework in property. Just to clarify there's no scenarios in 18th regs that a 6mm is adequate. Whether it's tns or tncs has to be 10mm for both gas and water?
Hi. Could someone please clarify bonding requirements for me please. I know requirements are to have a seperate 10mm earth bond conductor for water and gas or that these can be in one cable if looped between each other. I have been working in a couple of properties lately that are in residential...
It's an old council block don't think there is any gas supply into properties, certainly not a gas cooker. If it only has a combi boiler does this mean that there is a gas supply? Confuses me to be honest my own property has no gas supply for cooking but they have run both 10mm to water and gas...
From my understanding you need to run both a 10mm earth from CU to water stop clock and seperate 10mm to gas, exception being if cable is uncut can link both gas and water together. In a scenario where been asked to change consumer unit but getting to gas pipes of combi boiler is practically...
Evening all
Has anyone got a recommendation for chip and pin device. Am using square at the moment but 1.75% transaction fee is to high for my liking especially as in some jobs would be getting paid through this for Labour and materials this starts to add up then. Am looking for one that has a...
The DB is rcd protected mate. The cooker is on 6mm and would say at most 10 metres in length. I would extend this in 4mm in swa to outside waterproof rotary switch. This additional length would be around 5 metres

Yeah very true Freddo ?

Have you got a link...
Right this maybe a completely stupid idea....but, guy wants a 6kw pre built sauna in back garden. The fuseboard million miles to back of house so wiring new circuit would be a nightmare. But he does have a cooker supply right near back door of garden. I know it's deemed good practice to have...
Hello all
Still relatively new in to trying to do more of my own works...background commercial. Someone has asked me to change what he describes as ceiling heating controllers. Looking at these photos they do look like they are just controllers and set to desired heat and have no thermostat...
Thanks Lucien. So when you say check for unbalanced load you mean check voltages between each phase to neutral? And if can't manage to get it energised low ohms test between phases to neutral?
They must of tested it with DB isolated Dave as main rcd switch is now faulty and cannot reset. I'm not sure if it is 4 or 3 pole or if continuity good between main switch or tested link. I will test these when go there thanks for heads up.
