    Solar Panels

    Not sure how the existing owner will buy back, but I would have thought if he did and then you eventually take ownership you should still be entitled to the FIT rate as it stands, which if installed in 2011 should be around 45-50p per kWH. You shouldn't need to be re-applying for a FIT but it...

    Stange fault on new installation

    I believe that relates to 'circuits that may have to be isolated without interrupting the supply to other circuits' generally in domestic scenarios I can't think of reason for this.

    Stange fault on new installation

    What reg are you refering to? 537.2.1.1 says that every circuit shall be capable of being isolated (DP in the case of TT) but no where does it say each circuit needs to be individually isolated - see the 2nd part of 537.2.1. (the part I quoted above)

    Stange fault on new installation

    Doesn't say anything about individually being able to isolate a circuit, switching the main DP switch can isolate a circuit, OK it takes out the whole installation, but this relates to the quote: 'provision may be made for isolation of a group of circuits by a common means.' Sinple pole RCBOs...

    Stange fault on new installation

    There is a difference between isolation and fault protection!

    Choc block with tape

    Ok, we all have an opinion but you seem to be criticising someone else's judgement as it maybe different from yours. Everything is subjective and unless someone is blantently wrong its unproductive to question others without at least putting your own views forward. I'm just interested in other...

    Choc block with tape

    Doing an EICR today in an old thatched property. Old wall light in hall, obviously not enough room behind to enclose the connections. Cable surface routed and connected to light fitting with choc block on the outside and taped up with black tape to blend in with the light fitting! How...

    Two houses, one supply

    Have a look at the time characteristics of a 100A fuse (or even a 80A) and see how difficult it is to make it blow in a non fault situation

    Old gas pipe

    Doing an EICR of a large B&B place. Totally re-wired in 2008 so not a big issue as its well labelled and been done to a good standard. Not sure on 1 bit though. In the cellar, gas and water pipes are bonded fine. But it looks like the gas had been upgraded at the time of the refurb and the...

    Last job of the day

    I suspect the extra copper seen is because the insulation has shrunk with the heat!

    Makita Wall Chaser

    Got the same wall chaser and use another wet/dry extractor unit, does the job well! Even chased when house occupied and furnished! The extractor unit I have, has a socket you plug the chaser into and when you turn on the chaser the vacuum starts and then stops soon after you turn off the...

    Vehicle chraging point - Section 722

    Did a one day course on this and if I remember correctly the Ra needs to be quite low to comply with the reg! Never did put the course into practise!

    Vehicle chraging point - Section 722

    In the example 0.5(I/L2+ I/L3) You always calculate whats within the brackets first and then multiply that by what is next to the brackets. In the bigger formula with the square root, again you calculate whats within the () first, then calculate whats within the [], square each of the []...

    Under floorboard JBs

    Been asked to install some smoke alarms - all to interconnect wirelessly, over 4 floors. Have put in the cable as the landings and stairwell were going to be carpeted, and routed the cable to a nearby JB (in a room without carpet at the moment). JBs under floorboards have a number of wires...

    EICR help!!

    If you can't find anything when you turn off the MCBs leave them off and tell the owner if something now doesn't work then it'll be one of the unidentified circuits. After a little while return and test whatever has been identified and disconnect the rest!
