    What code does this deserve?;.

    I am only asking for YOUR opinion as to what code should be given in an EICR which sees a dry wall fixing box being used for joints behind a commercial dishwasher where it has been left lying loose on the tiled kitchen floor. I am thinking that it should be fixed up on the wall and inside a...

    Sockets on different phases

    In the event of simultaneous line to earth faults on appliances using these socket outlets, the metalwork on both would rise to mains voltage until the protective device for each has operated to clear the faults.

    Inspection of wiring to new industrial dish washer

    Thanks again but due to lock down, pictures are out. If I had asked, "is it acceptable to use a drywall box with the yellow lugs, unfixed lying on floor of a kitchen as a joint box for final connection to a dish washer?" Would you have answered without pictures?

    Thanks for your advice. I expected you to simply agree that this is incompetent for an electrician to leave a job which clearly breaches of the big blue book in several ways. Would you accept this?

    My opinion is that it was done by a cowboy not and electrician and I want another independent opinion. I would get the installer back and confront him about his quality of work.

    First 4ft led tube failure.

    Any electronics can fail early, I suppose, so we as a trade will eventually know by experience how reliable led tubes are. Thanks for your comments.

    It would be good if manufacturers could see some of the posts re their product.

    First 4ft led tube failure.

    I am always raving about how led tubes will be much more reliable than fluorescent tubes. My first failure has shown after only 3 months.
