    16mm tails with 100amp fuse?

    Has anyone ever asked the DNO to downgrade the main fuse from 100A to 60A or 80A? If so did they do it?

    warranty

    How much is the ELECSA warranty? If it's only a couple of quid why not just pay for it? The NICEIC do a 6 yr warranty for £1.50

    240v between neutral and earth??

    Are you sure there is just the one light? Maybe a light outside controlled from the same switch? Try changing the bulb and see what happens.

    dual immersion heater

    I got a job next week to connect up a hot water cylinder which has dual 3kW immersion heaters. Ideally I would run 2 new 2.5mm circuits from 2 16A MCBs on separate RCDs but there are not enough spare ways in the CU. Is there any reason why I shouldn't run a 4mm radial on a 32A MCB and split it...

    Recommendations for electric heating and hot water system required

    The 6kW boiler could well be enough but the best thing to do would be to carry out a heat loss calculation on the property. The thing about the hot water storage cylinder is the fact that you are heating a lot of water over a relatively long period of time as opposed to a shower where you are...

    extending 6mm cables for cookers

    Just because the Ze is OK you cannot assume the system is suitable for TNCS. The only way is to call the distribution company to check whether or not the distribution system is PME. They will either check their plans and or send someone out and give you the definitive answer and it doesn't cost...

    Recommendations for electric heating and hot water system required

    How about a 6 kW electric boiler feeding central heating radiators (wet system) and a mains pressure hot water cylinder either direct(heated by immersion heater) or indirect (heated from the boiler). This way you get fully controllable system, mains pressure hot water and no need to bother about...

    Recommendations for electric heating and hot water system required

    I think in your circumstances the best option is to go for the electric panel rads, Rointe come highly recommended but are quite expensive. One thing you should bear in mind is that UFH is not very controllable especially over flagstones and you would need at least 50mm (probably 75mm) of...

    Live earth conductor

    The house wiring is unnecessarily complex, 6 distribution boards, tons of X10 home automation, all circuits are protected by RCBO's but none of them have tripped.

    Live earth conductor

    Yesterday I was installing some downlighters in a bathroom, I isolated the supply tested L-N and it was dead, grabbed hold of the choc block which was used for the existing light, stuck my screwdriver in and got an electric shock. That was weird so tested again and it was still dead so I thought...

    Oven on FCU? But what size fuse?

    Yes, thinking about it the oven would get up to temperature, probably pulling 15A then the stat would switch it on and off as required so the overload wouldn't be a long duration. There is no way 15A would blow a 13A fuse so feeding the oven via a plug top is OK then??
