    Cut out mess - who is responsible?

    Sorry guys, here is the missing photo. This is the supply to the top three flats via the Ryefield. A bit old but all looks very respectable... until I discovered the cut out feeding this lot. As you can see the meters are located after the clusterfuck. I'm not intending on getting too involved...

    Cut out mess - who is responsible?

    House to 4 flat conversion. Ryefield board in the hallway feeding 3 flats. Weird that the third phase is being used as earth - time to locate the cutout and the 4th fuse.... So.... We have a three-phase TN-S supply. One phase feeding the basement flat, two phases being taken to the ryefield...

    Overcurrent fault tripped two MCBs

    So customer reporting she plugged in a faulty LED light and it tripped both upstairs and downstairs lighting MCBs indicating that the circuits are connected (the board has no RCDs - yet). Before I go and do a CU change to RCBOs I need to identify the source of this fault. I'm interested to hear...

    3 x RFC all with no continuity

    I thought this. I checked continuity between the legs of the three supposed RFCs and still nothing.

    3 x RFC all with no continuity

    3 x RFC all with no continuity

    Currently 32A. Marked as ‘rings’ on the existing cables, each with two cables terminating in the CU hence I’m treating them as such without yet having managed to find continuity.

    3 x RFC all with no continuity

    Working on an empty property which has 4 RFCs. 3 of these are showing no continuity across R1 R2 and Rn. The wiring is around 30 years old and each room has 2/3 single sockets. Each of these sockets is fed by a single 2.5mm T&E. What's going on here? Is it likely the sockets are being fed from a...

    I've come across a number of instances recently where the occupant of a house has run extension leads clipped on and passing through walls to provide additional sockets. One instance they had an extension lead of 4 plugs screwed onto their kitchen counter wall, plugged into one of the double...

    Borrowed CPC for water bonding

    I've come across a house whereby the redundant immersion heater circuit (15A) has had it's CPC repurposed as a means of bonding the incoming water supply in the same cupboard. Irrespective of the CPC being undersized is this, in theory, allowed or must the earth bonding be clearly identifiable...

    Software for drawing circuits

    Is anyone able to recommend a website or software for drawing out wiring circuits? In my case, it would be for an intercom system. Nothing overly complex. Just want to be able to drag and drop connections etc so I can share with other professionals.
