    What is wrong with this light rose wiring!?

    (my bold) The other lights are not effected because the (live)cables are twisted together and making a connection. Though functional it is poor practice to leave them this way and they really need to be terminated correctly asap. Be aware that some of these cables are still live even with the...

    What is wrong with this light rose wiring!?

    Provided there are no other issues this is a simple fix for any decent spark, so shouldn't cost much.

    Bit of a moan about appliances

    The warranty thing is an argument all on its own. I can't see why the warranty would be invalidated if a new plug was correctly installed. What happens if the moulded plug gets damaged at anytime? Is this covered by the warranty? and if so how would they go about repairing the problem?

    Bit of a moan about appliances

    Personally I would not install any connection point directly behind the appliance unless it was readily available to get to with maybe the odd exception. For these reasons :- 1. The socket/plug can be easily damaged as the appliance is pushed into place 2. There generally is not enough room for...

    Single phase joinery planer / thicknesser runs slowly after new motor

    I assume you are talking about the new motor? I have seen this type of thing happen before when the new motor has been incorrectly wired to the incoming supply. Especially if its a capacitor start, capacitor run type motor. But without more info its difficult to advise

    R1+R2 continuity both ways

    I understand that you are relatively new to the industry (you mentioned this earlier in the thread) Inspection & testing isn't just about taking readings and checking them against what is accepted. Its also about understanding what the tests are for, why the readings are what they are and the...

    R1+R2 continuity both ways

    You still need to clarify which conductors you IR tested between to get the 0.7Mohms (assuming this is what you meant). If you do thorough tests then you can start to eliminate the possibilities causing the fault (again assuming there is one). Its good practice to be methodical with your testing...

    Ceiling Wiring Confusion (4 wires)

    I believe it is taken to be less safe than before any work is commenced, i.e as per installation condition prior to addition /alteration. Though any decent spark would ensure that the installation is in an improved state post work done. As a basic example (similar to op situation) - installing a...

    Pete's Videos How to install an earth rod, or not as the case maybe

    Hi Dunc88 and welcome to the forum, As Pete said we need a little more information before any constructive advice can be offered, i.e max demand, DNO supply fuse rating, installation method and such... Your maximum demand may calculate low enough to allow you to use 16mm, though you may need to...
