    Good Old Delroy, he gets all the best Jobs :)

    For a man with alot if experience, i just watched a video where he chops a flex into the plaster, for an electric heater, rather than using the flex out of a switched fused spur... I mean I wouldn't have the guts to put my work online to be picked over but come on!!

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    There might be a reason they are so hard to come by.

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    If you're that bothered about fuses randomly blowing, wire it into a flex outlet plate

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    Why is the appliance, which comes with and is therefore designed to have, blowing 13a fuses in the plug top in the first place?

    Why oh why are they so small?!!

    Agree, 2 way switching, 3 plated at the switch.... its already a squeeze with your neutrals wagod up in the back box, I just don't understand why they are so small in comparison to a regular switch, i guess they are mounted on pcb's or something but surely we've designed our way out of trickier...

    Why oh why are they so small?!!

    I don't need double sockets with wagos stuck to them, what I'd really like is a dimmer module with a decent sized terminal on it. Why are they all so pathetically small? 1.5mm cable.... 2 way switching...haha good luck! Grumpy and frustrated!!

    Existing chase and permitted routes

    Agree about the 150mm zone although don't particularly like using them as no one apart from electricians knows they exist! not sure what difference metal capping makes?

    ZE testing

    Just watched one of 'Delroy the sparks ' videos on YouTube, now the guy has many yrs more experience than me but I do question some of his techniques, however in this recent he does a proper Ze( ie removing main earth,) but leaves the installation live, is this a done thing?! I guess the risk...

    Interesting video on testing type "A"'s RCBO and issues with MFT 's

    An interesting video, with intelligent input. Does make you think about how much you do "because that's what we do" without thinking too much about it.

    Feed and switch wire at an intermediate...

    You're right, they do vary from manufacturer

    Feed and switch wire at an intermediate...

    Ha! Someone may explain it better or if you're lucky, draw a pretty picture! So using your colours of choice: L1 brown, l2 grey black common at the 2 ways At the intermediate: brown and greys into L1 and L2 as normal. Join one black to permanent live in Join others black to switched live to...

    Feed and switch wire at an intermediate...

    Yup,So instead of joining the 3rd cores together at the inter, feed in joined to go to common one of the 2 way switches, light feed joined to go off to common on the other 2 way, strappers as per usual on the inter.

    Adding socket

    ... that's still OK though isn't it? As you say, if it's listed as a departure. As long as the cable installation method does not require RCD protection presumably? Does an RCD spur protect the load side or supply?

    Client refusing spd

    I know, but you've got to have a good reason to depart from it. My point in this case (& I am away without my book) is that the method that it gives in order to assess whether or not an sdp is required, needs information which I don't know how you would obtain, ( in most cases) therefore...

    Client refusing spd

    As an aside, how does anyone actually do the equation from 7671 when there are factors in it that it's unlikely you'll be able to know accurately? I can't see the point of it might as well have made fitting them mandatory and the cost is just part of the overall cost of the cu a far as the...

    EV chargers and RCD protection

    To be fair, the COP does say, in effect, not to worry about it if it can't be achieved

    EV chargers and RCD protection

    Hi, thanks, yes that was my understanding, was on a course recently and the tutor wasn't particularly clear on the matter.

    EV chargers and RCD protection

    Hi all, just having a read through the regs and code of practice on car chargers. Where it stipulates the use of RCD's "for charging points" eg 722.531.3.1, is that referring specifically to the charge point it's self, ( and the fact that protection may be contained with the unit) rather than...
