    BS 7671 Regulation 532.6 AFDD

    And yes Pete........ it’s as clear as mud!!

    BS 7671 Regulation 532.6 AFDD

    And and AFDD won’t detect a fault on a ring final circuit, only on an appliance attached to it, due to the nature of ring final circuits. So, what’s the point of fitting one to them. Again, my question is, when they should be fitted, or even do they need to be?

    BS 7671 Regulation 532.6 AFDD

    Buzz, you’re not kidding! £100 each. In a new install with 10 circuits that’s a grand just on AFDD’s alone. If someone wants a new board, do we HAVE to fit them. As above, the new rev is too ambiguous.

    BS 7671 Regulation 532.6 AFDD

    Cheers Pete, the confusion comes where it says in 421.1.7 “if used”, so there is no compulsion to put them in. This is where a big debate begins

    BS 7671 Regulation 532.6 AFDD

    Thanks Buzz, I know what they are and what they do (I am an approved sparks) but I’m just trying to get a consensus on when they should be fitted in new installations. Six of us on a job last week and six opinions on what should be done

    Dimmer led flickering

    I don’t think that is dimmable

    Dimmer led flickering

    Is it the correct dimmer for the type of lamp? LED dimmers aren’t all suitable for normal GLS lamps and vice versa

    BS 7671 Regulation 532.6 AFDD

    Hi all, I know there have probably been posts on this already, but I can’t find it. The regulation above says “Where specified, Arc Fault Detection Devices shall be installed....” Where is it specified? I’ve been looking in the book, on line and on here. Even speaking to NICEIC and board...

    Best Multi Function Tester and why?

    I love my Megger. Had a 1730 for a few years now. Rechargeable rather than buying batteries, testing is quick and has fallen of steps loads of times and still working fine!

    I think he is giving you the cheapest and simplest option. It is definitely how I would do it

    Correct cabling for flat consumer unit supplies

    Downlight Installation

    Hello chaps I have been to a house today, which has (I feel) far too many downlights per room. The lounge for example has 29 downlights in an area measuring 12.5 feet by 22feet (about 4 x 7 metres for the youngsters). The lights are split into three lots, so no problem with loading. My question...

    Level 2&3 diploma (2635)

    The 2365 will give you a basic understanding, enough to get you started as an electricians mate. It also depends on where you do your training and your instructor. I've met a lot of people who have done this intensive course and they all come out of it with different levels of ability. You need...

    Emergency lighting wiring

    Gents, as always, there are varied opinions. For the information of some; the electrical consultant stipulated T&E LSF throughout, otherwise containment such as conduit would have caused issues with other services. Basket was usedin part, which is fine for T&E The only issue as always, is if one...

    Emergency lighting wiring

    Good morning people. Just been having a "chat" with another sparks on site regarding core usage of three core for emergency lighting. I have always (and everyone I know) has used brown as switch line and black as permanent. He has wired a whole floor of a care home opposite to me. Your views as...

    Stolen tools on site?

    Anyone stealing tools is stealing your livelihood, they should be prosecuted, kicked off site, reported to JIB or whoever issues cards, have their cards revoked and banned from working on any site in the UK. That's my thinking

    SWA armour supply to outbuilding, what CSA cable? and Reference Method?

    Ok, bad turn of phrase, I wasn't saying this would start a fire. The point I was trying to make is that if you do a calculation according to the BYB stick to what it says, dintbthen second guess it. That is your safety net. If you stay with that, then nothing should go wrong and if it does, you...

    SWA armour supply to outbuilding, what CSA cable? and Reference Method?

    . I would go by the book, because I know it would be majored in my annual NICEIC MOT, if they chose that one to look at

    SWA armour supply to outbuilding, what CSA cable? and Reference Method?

    I've just calculated this and it IS 10mm, it can't be longer than your previous measurement and be a smaller conductor!!. If your friend says it's overkill, I hope can be at the enquiry with you to explain the fire
