    Advice needed regarding insurance work

    I would seriously consider getting yourself a loss assessor to act on your behalf. You should be able to add the cost to your claim. Do a search in your area and ring a couple for advice and information first. See below for difference between adjuster and assessor. Loss Adjusters are...

    How to tighten a 50mm SWA gland with no access to locknut

    You could try drilling the hole for the gland closer to the back so the lock nut is flat against the back so it won't turn. Fit the gland without the cable by screwing down onto lock nut then fit the cable.

    Replacing two gang switch with Sonoff Smart Switch

    This looks like a "loop in system" at the switch. So you have 1 t&e feed in. 1 t&e feed out (to other switches) and 1 t&e to each light. The loop wire within the switch is taking the live in from the first switch to the second and then out to the rest of the circuit. If you leave that loop...

    Domestic to commercial/industrial

    I see we're playing "top trumps" again. OK I'll have a go. I see your Pub in East London, (unless you meant The V&A, which is an easy mistake for a misogynist to make). And raise you AWE Aldermaston.

    No pics sorry............

    Thanks for that, a character from my era much better than the Homer Simpson that I usually get. And I saw what you did there keeping to the theme of the forum.

    No pics sorry............

    Thanks Wilco. I see it now. It's the same as disconnection a neutral on a circuit that's not isolated. Hence the advice to put both circuits in one Ocpd.

    No pics sorry............

    But in a conventional CU without DP Ocpd all the neutrals are shared. Hence the need for a safe isolation procedure. What some of you seem to be saying is your failure to carry out safe isolation make the installation inherently dangerous?

    No pics sorry............

    I'm struggling to find anything seriously wrong with this setup. I'm assuming 2 6A SP Mcb's isolating the up and down L circuits. so what we have is a shared Neutral which is not uncommon. So without some rewiring they will both have to be on the same Rcd, which again in not uncommon. I've...

    Question about hot tubs

    If the extraneous metal part is in the ground then its acting as a conductor between it and the ground. In this case just put a clamp on. Where you are in direct contact with the ground put a rod in. The effect is the same, you are ensuring that they are all at the same potential.

    Question about hot tubs

    Maybe because IET guidance says that when outdoors you should? (Extract from wiring matters) All electrical work should comply with BS 7671. There are no specific requirements for electrical installations associated with hot tubs in BS 7671. However, where a hot tub is located outdoors in the...

    MAX LOAD FOR DOUBLE UK DOMESTIC 3 PIN SOCKET?

    HVAC units usually involve a compressor. These can have a high inrush current. They also have a limiting device to prevent restarting until the pressure in the system equalises. Which is why if you have unplugged one you should wait a few minutes before plugging back in, (to avoid a pressure...

    New sub board for shed swa advice.

    I know The HASAWA doesn't apply to domestic property or servants, and i thought EAWR was the same. However on searching i found this. Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Appendix (para 5(5)) Electrical safety and enforcement in domestic premises 1 HSW Act s.3 and EAW Regulations apply to...

    Power to a shed. What are your thoughts?

    Many new builds which have power to garages as a extra (requested by the buyer ) are done this way. Not saying it's ideal, but somebody must be signing it off as compliant.
