    Height of Zone 1 2.5m above the shower tray or 2.25m off the floor?

    When looking for the height of Zone 1 above a shower, we typically look at the diagrams which show 2.25m above floor level, with no Zone 2 above (although some variants of the zone diagram on various websites do show a zone 2 above a shower). The text however (under 702.32), says Zone 1 is...

    Dewalt Electricians Stapler

    I was researching these after watching the eFixx video on YouTube - the ability to move the cable after fixing would be an advantage at times, allowing adjustment of the cable & potentially easy reuse of the clips in a cable replacement scenario. - I am interested in peoples views on this, as...

    Head-scratcher

    That is a meter, probably for measuring the power exported to the grid from the solar installation. Listed for sale here: Eastron SDM230-Modbus-MID Single Phase 100A Direct Connected Energy Meter - Meter Market I guess the same tends to be true of the supplier's meter in terms of no means of...

    Why is my new 3 way dimmer switch causing my bulbs to flicker at high brightness?

    Are these light fittings with LED drivers? If so, do the drivers also support dimming?

    Advice for getting into domestic electrical work with 18th and 2391-52?

    Like others, I would say with that salary you are doing pretty well, but salary isn't everything... Or maybe you might want to be another Jordan of Artisan Electrics (YouTube) and aim at the very top of the domestic market. There are other domestic elctricians on YouTube like Nick Bundy, CJR...

    No power to CU or meter after resetting RCD

    Many thanks guys for your replies, which I will research further. I hadn't heard of an MCCB with tripping coil before - I wonder if this is something that you are more likely to see in a 3 phase scenario.

    No power to CU or meter after resetting RCD

    I was afraid someone was going to ask that question. The owner of the premises was talking confidently about it as if it was an RCD, saying it hadn't tripped, but it looked more like some form of isolator to me - a square grey metal box with a white up down switch. (He was a bit dismissive &...

    No power to CU or meter after resetting RCD

    I was working on a lighting circuit connected to a 3 phase board. The board has a single RCD effectively acting as the main switch. After tripping the RCD by cutting a wire (the old circuit isolated via MCB but Neutral still connected reason), I found that the power to the board didn't come back...

    Water Pump requires Type A differential switch (RCD?)!

    Thanks both. You were spot on re type B vs AC, thanks for pulling me up on that. Appreciate the expanded explanation too Lucien

    Water Pump requires Type A differential switch (RCD?)!

    Thanks Lucien. Looks like I am going to have to buy a new consumer unit. BG don't appear to do type A RCDs, but hang on a minute don't many household items include "integral electronic controls", why are they OK on a type B RCD and not the pump?

    Water Pump requires Type A differential switch (RCD?)!

    I am installing a DAB Divertron 1000 water pump in a rainwater harvesting tank and was surprised to discover that the enclosed "Safety Instructions" booklet states "The differential switch protecting the system must be correctly sized and must be of the "Class A" type. It must guarantee...

    60A Fuse box - is (typical) over 60A max load OK?

    This relates to one of those old 60A Wylex Fuse boxes that has been upgraded with MCBs - I know it would be a very good idea to upgrade, but the question is, how does the "Max 60A" rating moulded on the box apply? The main fuse is 60A and the load after diversity calcs is 89A. I am aware that...

    SWA For meter tails?

    The bit I am putting in the wall is in the middle between the void and the outside wall, so I don't quite follow you. If you are suggesting I run it on the surface inside the house, yes I could probably do that, but a bit of a cop out as would be rather unsightly.

    SWA For meter tails?

    Good point thank you, my thinking hadn't got that far. I could maybe gland off to a galvanised conduit angle box and use Pratley box connectors instead of the Henley block. Plenty of earth's available in the void I could use. I could use a Pratley box for that matter but seems an expensive...

    SWA For meter tails?

    I'm actually following the electricians instructions... but thanks for the heads up, I will raise it with him. (For the benefit of anyone else trying to learn from this thread, the regulations we are discussing here are 522.6.x) I'm now leaning back towards using 25mm SWA (2 core as I already...

    SWA For meter tails?

    I am involving another electrician... As mentioned previously. Existing tails are in plastic conduit embedded in the wall. This is more like passing through the wall in conduit as does the DNO supply. If you have feedback on the method based on standards, please refer.
