    Outside Lights trip RCD

    when the IR test is being done was the CPC still connected (continuously) back to the CU ?

And could be only evident...

    plug in voltage logger

    Anyone recommend a cheap (no more than £50) voltage logger that records values over days/weeks. A 3 pin plug type would do. Its out of interest really to find how the voltage varies where I live! Ive done a search online and cannot spend ££££££ for fluke offerings, but also dont want some super...

    Free clean energy

    Looking at the troupe system last night, apparently its more efficient to use water to drive generators than compressed air, and that's why hydro dams are used in place of troupes. This is all about scale, it would be great if every household had there own troupe, but not everyone lives next to...

    Public liability insurance for mates?

    No you don't need to be insured as a mate/improver. You likely working under the supervision of someone else and they should be insured. Please dont fall for it,

The one circuit n the bedroom he refusing to rewire does have a standard pendant and switch, and will put nylon 3.5's in switch.

    Volt drop in the real world

    Just read this in "The Electricians Guide, 17th Edition" by John Whitfield, which may be of interest (page 79). "If the actual current carried by the cable (the design current) is less than the rated value, the cable will not become as warm as the calculations used to produce the volt drop...

    A new jokes thread for your amusement.

    Ever since it started snowing, all my wife has done is stare through the window. If it gets any worse I'm gonna have to let her in. 1568328514 The wife said to me last night ''If you turn the bedside lamp off I'll take it up the arse." Maybe I should have waited for the bulb to cool down first.

    Lighting circuit what to do

    No there will be a new circuit for the new rooms, and I will remove the existing circuitry for these rooms from the existing JB.

    Lighting circuit what to do

    Thanks for the info, although that part of the installation I will not touch. Im concerned with running a new supply (which will have a cpc) to the existing lighting jb which serves the existing lights and switches. Is this recommended or not was the reason for the post.
