    Spot the electrical crime

    I must be honest I didn't even notice that the backbox isn't earthed. There is an argument though that the backbox needn't be earthed if it has one fixed lug although in this case that's never going to happen since the blank plate has no earth connection. Personally I always stick in a fly lead...

    Spot the electrical crime

    Cable twisted on the floor? Cables not clipped on the floor? Cable routed through the backbox? Not really safe isolation because the spur was off and not the MCB? The abortion with the clips and the towel radiator? Come on I need to know !!! :eek:

    Hot tub install

    Where did the whole hot tub earth rod argument appear from? I'm still to be convinced either way. Both sides have good points. Buzz, any chance of some enlightenment as to why you think its not needed? and is there actually any regs to say that it would be required? I know about the reg...

    Recording SPD install on EIC

    I've fitted a few now, I've been recording the MCB as 'SPD OCPD' and the actual SPD simply as 'SPD' in the schedule of test results just because they take up a way in the board and it shows that I've installed one to begin with. I test the circuit from the MCB as you would any other circuit and...

    To bend or not to bend?

    When I was an apprentice both the college and my journeyman drilled into me that cables should be doubled before terminating if possible, particularly when only one cable is terminated in each terminal e.g the final socket in a radial or a spurred socket. Was just on a Facebook group there and...

    This might be a stupid question

    Not in most cases, but giving it a test to prove it would be a good idea. Personally I’ve never needed to bond one but if you did do you have to make up flying leads? I ask because the way most of them are constructed surely cannot be electrically sound? The slots were never designed to pass...

    Camping pod electrics

    Well you’ve been busy this morning :p I’d be following the campsite section of the BBB to be honest. Not too sure if you need a metal CU? Don’t think one would be required in something like a hotel? Good to have a read of the campsite section yourself though I’ll admit I’m not to familiar with...

    Voltage on gas meter

    My guess is line to earth short, supplementary and main bonding in place. Massively high Ze (or Ra?) or faulty RCD. Also Have seen voltage on the supply side of the gas meter before only present when meter disconnected must have been backfed from someone else’s bonding. Sorted with a quick bond...

    Window shutter installation

    Surely there is some sort of internal mechanical override for the shutters? Who is installing them would think it would be their problem to ensure building regs were met (if any actually apply) rather than yours. If it’s domestic you’d be pretty hard up to avoid RCDs without extra protection or...

    Would 10mm tails be acceptable?

    Never done it myself always thought it was a bit rough to be fair but it was quite a common occurrence round these parts.
