    UK Metal bathroom cabinet with inbuilt shaver socket not earthed

    It cant be Double Insulated it must be class 1 as there is a cpc. But what the cpc actually protects I'm not too sure. The tape alone over the connections looks RAF and no additional insulation/protection on those crimp joints. It looks like a quick home workshop effort. I bet you could have fun...

    Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

    Everyone calling to get back to work - except the teaching unions + a few others. Its a difficult decision, an MP has to be advised by the medical advice. maybe at least now people can start planning - for the foreseeable future at least.

    So in answer to your original question, you cannot give a satisfactory EICR

    What RCBOs are compatible with these?

    Lewden Edit: where did my edit go. I believe Denmans also supply their own brand "Curve" of which are rebadged Lewden also.

    UK Metal bathroom cabinet with inbuilt shaver socket not earthed

    Agree with Post #2 Some so-called double insulated light fittings etc are dubious at best, but I cannot think of a reason that a shavers socket would not require a cpc. Even though they are an isolating transformer, the core should have a cpc in case of breakdown of insulation between the...

    Help with a 21ohm Ze

    I understood the test to be a ZE, I would indicate any further testing out in the field as Zdb

    Proving units maximum voltage

    Despite my sarcastic post, I've only ever considered using a voltage tester with a proving unit rather than an MFT

    Bond sinks and mains water with plastic at start

    I've always understood extraneous to be introduced from the outside ie not connected to the electrical installation. If a lead or metal pipe were used as drainage, then it may be extraneous.

    Bond sinks and mains water with plastic at start

    The more honest you are, the more likely to get caught. Nice to see the sheds still selling cheap CU's for the public to replace themselves. Does my nut in.

    Oven with 13a plug top

    Well if its the square type, just to confuse things, and give you another option - you could replace with a two gang grid with a DP 20 Amp switch on one side, a fuse carrier on the other, and then cut the plug and connect straight into the outlet. At least the fuse would not be hidden anywhere.

    Proving units maximum voltage

    Don't give too much info her, the cynical side of me says there will be new updates on MFT's to incorporate the higher voltages of test units :-)

    Oven with 13a plug top

    Just out of curiosity, what shape is the cooker isolator?

    Oven with 13a plug top

    If its a fixed load - element only, you may get away with that, but highly likely it will have a fan so not really a fixed load. If you have the space to put a socket in an adjacent cupboard as said in post #9 that may be your best option. Its a personal thing with me to avoid ovens on plugs and...

    Oven with 13a plug top

    If you replace the cooker outlet plate with an unswitched fused outlet you will not have to adjust the mcb, and you negate the use of a plug and socket, but it would make it necessary to remove the oven if ever the 13 amp fuse popped, so as said - not ideal

    Oven with 13a plug top

    Not ideal as the 13 amp fuse will not be easily accessible, but I would prefer an unswitched fused connection point rather than plug and socket combination. Many ovens come with a label on the flex "do not fit plug" as so many are prone to overheating. Either way it would not be necessary to...
