    A couple of testing questions

    not sure what you mean Trev..which test will it get rid of? My understanding of the procedure would be to take a Ze reading at cu2 and test circuits as normal, just the same as cu1. But record a separate set of test results just for the armoured link itself, is this correct?

    A couple of testing questions

    I used a 16mm SWA..which snakes it's way through the cellar up through 3 rooms then across the attic and back down to another loft area. Would a Ze test at db2 be sufficient or will I need insulation resistance, continuity etc

    A couple of testing questions

    Evening all I am in the process of re-wiring a 4 storey property and have 2 c/units, 1 in the cellar and 1 on the 2nd floor. I have run a cable from the henley box up to the 2nd c/unit on the 2nd floor and I'm wondering if I need to provide test results for this cable on the schedule? Also the...

    Consumer unit under a sink..

    Difficult for an improvement..the meter is under the sink also, think some alterations must have been done over the years and they've built the kitchen around it.

    Consumer unit under a sink..

    Been to a job today to do a periodic and the consumer unit was directly under the kitchen sink. I can't find anything in the regs that says this can't be done but it doesn't seem right...can anyone put my mind at rest??

    wiring through joists.

    I'm not disputing any of this..I know it is totally impractical to cut a notch to 50mm deep. I was just trying to point out a confusion on page 59..fig 7.1 clearly states that a notch is a route for a cable to pass through it..above fig 59 it states that any cable passing through a joist should...

    wiring through joists.

    Thanx..If you take the osg literally it does state on page 59 (still on red..just ordered my green) 'a cable passing THROUGH a joist be at least 50mm from the top' then on same page 'figure 7.1 cables THROUGH joists' figure 7.1 illustrates a notch in a joist, which to me suggests that a cable...

    2 separate lighting circuits on the same switch..allowed???

    Following my last post I decided to keep all my outdoor lighting on thier own separate circuit, so my next problem is how to switch them. My initial idea was to have a 3 gang switch and use 2 of the ways for internal and 1 way for the security light, but I was thinking if someone isolates the...

    Outdoor security light

    Hi I'm just getting myself verified with Elecsa and I'm wiring my 1st job..Just come across a little sticking point!! Do I wire an outdoor security light off my lighting circuit or do I take it from a FCU spurred off the power circuit? The only reason I ask is that I always see security...
