    What would you code this as.

    About 4 C2 to write up, just for the termination of that SWA.

    What would you code this as.

    If he is then he certainly shouldn’t be undertaking test and inspection. Sorry @Raptor0014 but you’ve a huge hole in your knowledge.

    Cookers plugs and direct connection

    What he said ^^^^^^ A couple of points (apologies for pedantry) Cooker isolation switches have no fuse. The fuse/MCB protecting the circuit is in the fuseboard/consumer unit. 13.5? is that typo?

    Cooker Circuit with Washer/Dryer On Circuit

    I’m not aware of any difference in diversity calcs based on circuit type. It’s done by appliance. Since a cooker circuit IS a radial anyways? Subject to the usual cable installation type considerations. It’s an easy fallback should problems arise later.

    Replacing storage heaters

    You need an electrician to provide a 24-hour supply to your economy 7 fuseboard*. This should not require a "rewire". You should also contact your electricity supplier to terminate the economy 7 tariff as this bumps up the price of electricity consumed during the normal day. *PS check first...

    Cooker Circuit with Washer/Dryer On Circuit

    There is no definition of a “cooker circuit”. What you are looking at is a radial circuit with a number of items attached to it. Sure you can have a socket on a circuit like this. Many “cooker” isolation switches also have a socket on them. The plates are not engraved “cooking appliances...

    Multimeter showing reading when nothing is plugged in

    @Klaudmjj Firstly, Bad news: you have killed your meter. Good news: Christmas is coming, maybe your family will buy you another one.* Secondly,, before you do this again, read guides on how to use a meter, especially how to measure current. And there are lots of videos on YouTube. When...

    New kitchen does it need own fusebox or change just the mains fusebox?

    No. Why on earth would they? It will be new wiring in the kitchen, new appliances. I think what your so-called electrician is saying is that existing faults in the old wiring may need attention if a new consumer unit is installed replacing the ancient fuse board. Well, that is of course...

    New kitchen does it need own fusebox or change just the mains fusebox?

    The ancient fuse board will need upgrading before long. In fact the next bit of electrical work you have done will need it. Putting a mini board just for the kitchen is kicking the can down the road. Change the Fusebox for a nice new shiny consumer unit and the whole house will benefit from...

    Cable type question

    And do not solder stranded cable. Stranded is flexible. If you tin the strands you will create a solid end which can break off. Ps with respect- I rather think that you are overthinking a very simple wiring job!

    Light and socket

    Sorry to be pedantic, but as your profile says “trainee”… A single cable from a ring final is a spur. A radial circuit is a complete circuit from a consumer unit etc, that comprises of a single cable.

    Cable type question

    I’m not sure about the statement. But it’s quite difficult to get the larger flex to sit right in most plugs, and the terminal size makes trying to jam the larger 2.5mm conductors a tricky thing. Really 1.5mm is plenty for this job. As the Walker Brothers said “Make it easy on yourself”

    Hi guys, has anyone got a fix for clipsal saturn series mech on a 2 way light staying dim when off?

    Ah. Ok. You may be better asking on an Oz forum then.

    Cable type question

    I don’t think the OP is going to disconnect the cable inside the appliance, only going to extend it using additional cable & a connector. @Bullfinch your plan will be fine. In fact 1.5mm flex would be ok for that load and cable length.

    Hi guys, has anyone got a fix for clipsal saturn series mech on a 2 way light staying dim when off?

    Not a product, or even a wall fitting, that I am familiar with. Are you in the UK?

    help identifying a downlight

    Looks like the Ledlite FRD12. They come in a range of light outputs do you’d need to match the existing one so it looks the same as others sun the room. TLC was the only place I’ve seen them but maybe Google might find others? I did install a lot of these in a project and a lot died after not...
