Evening..
So, I'm working on a house that has been split into 2 flats and have been asked to do a board change in the downstairs flat. The earthing arrangement is TNS but I noticed that there is an earth connected between the neutral of the cut out and the earth terminal block to create a PME...
There is a cover for the busbars, it was just loosely placed over as the offending cable prevents it being screwed down. I would have to notch out the cover to fix it down.
I didn't have my pinhole camera with me that day to take a picture with the cover on, so had to take the cover off for the picture! It was only off for seconds..promise.
It's not the fact that it is feeding a switched fuse, that is right next to the db, it's the fact that a cable has been crimped on to a busbar that bothers me, so asked for clarification.

I have been asked to do an EICR for a community centre, there are 9 consumer units throughout the building..just after a bit of advice on how you would go about pricing a job like this?

As the title says, a customer has bought a 19.6 Kw 3 oven/6 induction hob burner that they have kindly asked me to install for them into their 3 bedroom semi!
I'm a bit stuck as to go about this as the amps it pulls is over 80, I know there will be some diversity etc but has anyone any...
Morning..
Just wondering if anyone knows what official building regs state about having to install the above when doing a refurb of house?
I have had building control officers tell me in the past that fans are required in kitchens bathrooms and utility rooms, but I can't find anything in the...
There is a 3 phase supply coming into the building.
Phase 1 goes through a single phase meter then up to the flat cu via 100a isolator.
Phase 2 goes through another single phase meter to the existing shop cu.
Phase 3 is spare.
I am just designing the installation so no measurementsuch have...
