    Bathroom wall light switch

    Ok I know I'm just being silly but, just think, what if you have a pull switch cord dangling into a bath? Isn't that just ad dangerous as a wall switch in a bathroom? lol

    Scottish power?

    Maybe the cutout was designed for a 2 phase supply and someone missunderstood how to wire a single phase supply through it Lol

    Gas Bond in block of flats

    I think if you take the wording of the regs literally, it says "within 600mm of the consumers side of the Meter or where the pipe enters the building". So if the meters are together in a meter room and the pipe is continuous to the flats, I don't see an issue. Unless of course the block of...

    Apollo 2000 electric cooker installation

    A plug in tester with flashing lights is not a professional piece of equipment. Tell him to get himself a proper tester and then he can argue with you Lol

    Consumer Unit Connection Process

    I've always removed the din rail and breakers etc. I also mark the neutral link wires before I disconnect them from their bus bars.

    Would you put a wall switch in a bathroom

    There is WAY too much reliance on RCDs in other parts of the world. I guess people don;t question getting a shock of ONLY 120v in the bathroom. "Hey man! That's Life!" Lol

    Armoured Cat5

    Never seen armoured Cat 5 before. Generally if it's in a harsh environment I'd probably used metal conduit. Cos where one Cat 5 cable runs, another usually follows Lol :95:

    RCBO in a 2 way

    I would of said (depending on access) It would be worth running a new supply cable for the lights and put them on an RCBO in the new 2 way CU.

    Dual Tarrif consumer unit

    You also need to consider what will happen if the immersion element causes the RCD to trip overnight in winter. The customer will have no hot water and a chilly flat! :( I'd go the RCBO route for the Immersion and the Storage Heater.:smiley2:

    Earthing rod

    "PS TT systems should be banned,electricity boards should change them to TN-C-S the Ze and Zs on TT's is atrocious " There is a very good reason for using TT systems in the right locations. If you live on the top of a hill where lightning is likely to strike, do you really want to get fried...

    Faulty RCCB on old TT system

    The old RCCBs only reacted to Live to Earth Faults (see the diagram inside the terminal cover). The test button connects a resistor across live and earth which energises the trip coil and switches off the power. I believe an RCD Test leaks current between neutral and earth, so won't trip an OLD...

    voltage reading on the nuetral

    Check the connections at the main cutout end and look for joins and check the cable size. Your hair dryer may not operate properly on 214V.

    A little assistance please Re: TT System, 0.21 ohms on Earth Rod.

    Simplest way to find out if the bare main earth connects to the water pipe is to turn off the main switch, disconnect the bare earth from the board and test for continuity to the water pipe :-D With regard to RCDs, suggest to the customer the installation of one 30ma RCD in the main tails (the...

    outside cable

    You need to consider the type of earthing system on the supply side of the SWA as well. If it's a TT Earthing system it will need some RCD protection at the supply side in case it gets damaged.
