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

    This is part of the problem. Sky doesn't talk well to anything other than it's own cheap modem/routers. I'm more than happy to spend a (sensible) amount of dosh on a commercial level system and basically have two networks running on different subnets but the bottle-neck will always be the...

    UK Scame Advance 2 RCD interlock socket

    ....but you shouldn't be testing these as part of BS7909 anyway as they are not temporary equipment subject to PAT.

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

    That's not what I meant. I'm talking about active devices which form a part of the current DHCP and routing table. It's an increasing problem in high tech households - I've just turned my head around and counted 7 from my chair, all currently talking in some form or other to the outside...

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

    We're out in the sticks and only have FTC anyway, so it's kind of irrelevant. We see about 7/38 on a good day. But Sky who we're with at the moment just don't seem to have the DNS capabilities in their home routers for more than about 15 devices - as we're 30+ and constantly upstreaming...

    This morning's delight is wrangling the best broadband and multiple mobiles deal I can find... Vodafone are so far showing promise

    I've worked with both of them, they're both ****'s of the highest order. Save your money.

    Chint breakers

    Schneider have a global user base and international support, a vast range of product types and international availability and are known as a solid, reliable workhorse. Chint…. Not so much.

    Does the sudden shutdown of the electrical appliance damage them?

    Without knowing the exact situation it’s hard to say but you definitely don’t want all the appliances turning back on at once all together as that will create a big current surge which could indeed do damage.

    Safe isolation of rotary isolator when no incoming voltage present.

    That wasn't the question, though. The question was how to prove safe isolation of the cct.

    Safe isolation of rotary isolator when no incoming voltage present.

    You isolate and test no volts, re-energise and test +ve volts, isolate and prove no volts again. Lock-off prior to working on the motor.

    Extending Cables

    If your distance of move is more than a couple of feet then I can thoroughly recommend looking at the Wago relocation box. Not cheap, but worth it and so easy to use. Last one I did the CU moved from one corner to another and I was able to use singles in trunking between the two which made the...

    RCD Trips

    It's a bit needle in a haystack time... General rule of thumb is that RCD's trip for 1 of 3 reasons: 1. Faulty appliance 2. Damage to a circuit 3. Water ingress.

    Single phase spur from Three phase isolator.

    Think about it this way: if you had a 3Ph supply running to a small 3Ph DB which had a 3P MCB in it feeding an occasional device and the DB had 3 x 1P slots available, would you be posting the question?

    Extending Cables

    I think a crimped connection is considered MF by default - however - as Dave rightly says, it’s massively dependent on being done right to start with!

    TT System Existing is a multi9 13 way RCD main switch DB

    As I understand it, the next amendment being published to BS7671 will likely include the addition of an internal RCD to all EVC devices. However as the supply circuit may well require an RCD as well due to the existing requirements for cable installations when buried this potentially leads to a...

    UK Plazma cutter causing SPD failure??

    Sounds very odd to me. Are you sure that you’re not simply dealing with a poorly installed device and arcing from a loose termination?

    Anyone willing to share details about past mistakes and consequences/resolution?

    To be serious, a lot depends on how we want to define ‘mistake’. I’ve made countless over the years, and learned from each of them. But also everyday I encounter challenges that are created by other’s shortcomings in some way and I’m never quite able to define whether they’ve been mistaken or...

    Just realised my post completely missed the correct character out - thanks for deciphering!

    Watt hour means what?

    Wh (also W/hr or VAh) is a pretty generic unit for energy storage as it’s so simple to work out - so almost certainly (without looking that unit up)
