    Board changes, customers and EIC's

    you didn't make a very good job of it though..seems you need more of fellow electrician arms bullies around you for back up. Probably be the same if we met down the pub also!

    Board changes, customers and EIC's

    When I first started out doing domestic work after a few years doing solely commercial work I did a few days with an NIC electrician who informed me that 'you can run cables wherever you want as long as they are RCD protected'. At that point I decided to teach myself. Also just wondering where...

    Board changes, customers and EIC's

    Because it wasn't a technical question I was asking, it was a question asking experienced electricians how they go about doing a board change in relation to finding faults when doing the EIC after the board change. I thought it was a decent question to ask and amongst all the flack I've had I...

    Board changes, customers and EIC's

    Then what is the point of the forum? is it just a social thing? I Think I may have misunderstood the purpose of it. I have learnt loads more on here than I would have done ringing up the helpline, had some good advice in the past, but not without the obligatory 'muppet' jibes!

    Board changes, customers and EIC's

    It would be nice to get some decent advice, before having to go through the obvious replies of 'muppet' and 'should you really be doing this'. There are a lot of people on here that know 95% of what they are doing but come on here to find out the final 5%. These may be silly questions to people...

    If you are sick of silly questions, don't answer them.

    Thanks for the constructive criticism, are you one of those members that answers questions to try and look good in front of other members by insulting people just starting out?

    Board changes, customers and EIC's

    I didn't want the emphasis of my post to be on the details of the test, I was hoping to get some advice on the correct procedure of board changes. (The IR reading was 7M ohms, which I know complies to regs, but leaving an installation like that doesn't leave me feeling comfortable). I have been...

    Board changes, customers and EIC's

    so you could go to do a board change, do all your testing before you actually change the board, find the fault then to be told 'oh we can't afford to sort that out'. You have then spent two hours giving someone a free electrical check???

    Board changes, customers and EIC's

    Evening..I just wanted a bit of advice on the procedure to follow with regards to consumer unit changes, advice to customers and how to fill in an EIC. I have recently changed a consumer unit and I informed the customer beforehand that there may be faults on the system when the cables are...

    20 volts at light fitting when switch is turned off

    Got a bit of a head scratcher!! I have a 2 way lighting circuit, if you turn the lights on with one switch then turn it off with the other switch the LED lamps will stay on very faintly (this is annoying the customer, which is why he called me out). When I checked with the multi meter it is...

    Overcurrent in circuits

    Not sure what caused the fault, going to put it down to either water getting into the back of the socket or a fault in the wall paper stripper, tested the circuit and found nothing wrong.

    Overcurrent in circuits

    Evening all...just a quick question. A customer was using a wallpaper stripper on a ring circuit, smoke started coming out of the back of the socket before the 32amp breaker tripped, what I don't understand is why the 13amp fuse in the plug didn't break? Could someone tell me why? Thanks

    'doubling' up on mcb's

    I am putting up 2 security lights, 1 front 1 back and for ease of cabling It would be best to take each light into the cu separately and share the mcb. Is this allowed??
