    Loss of supply alarm

    Thanks, but was thinking don't really need a battery (which is relatively large) as I have a permanent supply supplying the RCD spur! My thinking was to have the RCD'd supply energising a relay, if supply lost, relay changes over and permenant supply powers a sounder!

    Downlights/Spots replaced with pendant - is cable OK?

    There is no safe zone in ceilings or floors! Could have used BS8436 cable.

    PA Testing surge protection extension lead

    Try not to do PA Testing but had to do it today! Was doing the above today after a cottage got flooded. Lead didn't appear to be wet, but failed the insulation test @ 0.7Mohms, this was at a test voltage of 250V. Re-tried it with my installation tester at 100V and 50V and got the same...

    No bathroom RCD

    This thread went off at a tangent so I stayed clear! In the meantime have reviewed the situation with regard to the pull cord isolator option Can't put it in the bathroom as BYB says any cable going through a bathroom needs RCD protection!

    Changeover Switch for Domestic Standby Supply

    551.6.1 has 5 options, not all will have a 3 position changeover switch. Item (iii) specifically mentions break before make but the other 4 seem to imply other means of ensuring that both supplies cannot be connected at the same time. From what I can see of the mechanism in the examples shown...

    Changeover Switch for Domestic Standby Supply

    What EN numbers you looking for? These are just main switches that are configured to provide a changeover function. I've used one myself in the past. Can always label it yourself with regard to mains/generator. Contrary to wide opinion it doesn't need to have a 3 position switch 551.6.1

    No bathroom RCD

    Did I say the tenant was paying for it? Seemed logical that tenant organises it, tells landlord costs and if agreeable organises work being done at a convenient time!

    No bathroom RCD

    davesparks: The reason for the fan isolator was to turn it off at night, to reduce noise etc. (kids in house) Flanders: The regs say cables running THROUGH a special location need RCD protection (not over)

    No bathroom RCD

    Some numpty has put in a ceiling fan with a pull cord above a bath - ceiling is getting very damp and apparently water keeps dripping out, I guess due to condensation in the duct. Customer (tenant) wants me to put in an in-line fan, and as it doesn't have a fan isolator switch, add an...
