    Are my notches big enough?

    Don’t worry. The new bath with 20 gallons of water in it will hide it out of sight! Not good is it. The homeowner found it actually, the bathroom is being stripped out. I think the joist was in the way of the shower trap. If someone did that to my house......

    Are my notches big enough?

    Found this beauty today, a 5 inch notch in a 6 inch joist. It wasn’t me! I felt sorry for the homeowner - and remember finding the exact same thing under my bathroom floor years ago.

    Flickering lights, tripping RCD and voltage at consumer unit...

    I was not onsite when the DNO turned up but they did phone me up and confirm a problem with the supply, saying voltage was ranging from 170 to 240 or so over time. They also confirmed a high Ze of about 2 ohms. I don't know much more than that at this stage but do know that a supply has been...

    Flickering lights, tripping RCD and voltage at consumer unit...

    Hi All, I have just been to a property to fault find a tripping RCD. Lights are flickering. All a bit strange. Vacant property - no loads plugged in. TNCS. The RCD protects socket circuits, CH, garage etc - but not the lights. Anyhow, I tested the the RCD - no problem. I turned off all the...

    Square D MCB to RCBO

    I thought I’d close out my own post properly. I returned to site and removed the evil MK MCB (which actually seemed to fit OK). It was - as was suggested - an abandoned shower supply. In its place I put an Easy 9 RCBO - put the kitchen ring on it, as well the FCU and socket the customer wanted...

    Square D MCB to RCBO

    That’s interesting. I have worked on a quick line boards - so these came after... I think I’ll dead test one of those ring finals, and if all OK, fit an easy9 RCBO and incorporate the new socket into the ring. I’d have a warm glowy feeling if I left a whole circuit RCD protected. I don’t think...

    Square D MCB to RCBO

    I didn't take the cover off - but at least the cover itself hasn't been butchered. That's the third CU I've seen today with mixed MCBs.

    Square D MCB to RCBO

    Good spot that. To prove I am doing my homework though - I found this https://www.schneider-electric.com/resources/sites/SCHNEIDER_ELECTRIC/content/live/FAQS/175000/FA175169/en_US/Easy9_Domae conversion.pdf from Schneider. which suggests to me that a new easy 9 RCBO will fit straight in? Kev...

    Square D MCB to RCBO

    Hi All, I have just been to to view a job on my way home. The customer is asking for a new double socket immediately below the consumer unit (that's convenient!). It's an old Square D board without an RCD in sight. I guess it would be very easy to install an RCD socket outlet - spurring from...
