    Can someone clarify this please...Part Pee

    I've often wondered what would happen if they didn't? Can't see my LBC give a damn.

    What do people get retainer wise for being on call?

    I'm in maintenance for a large international company. I get paid a massive £50 a week, and £25 for 1-3 hours if called out 😂 The only benefit, is if I go home and get called out again, its another £25. Luckily for me, I live just across the road, so don't have to drive to get there. Having...

    EV chargers and TN-C-S supply earthing general hassle

    If you are aware of the potential dangers, after additional training if necessary, then thats fine to go ahead and install it for people. Some people just seem to plough ahead regardless. It might be just rare and dangerous, but it will only take just one instance, which might prove fatal...

    Failed RCD socket given post-mortem out of curiosity

    Amazing. I thought there was a little man inside, stood on a bucket, which he jumped off when the electric got too much.

    RCBO for Memera 2000 is discontinued, is it ok to buy used one off eBay?

    Your probably right, bit like the RCBO for our main kitchen's commercial mixer, which has tripped more times than the kitchen's given me hot dinners. Actually, thats not a very good analogy, but you get the idea.

    RCBO for Memera 2000 is discontinued, is it ok to buy used one off eBay?

    I’ve just googled the Eaton Field Service Kit, various places have them for £100 ish?

    RCBO for Memera 2000 is discontinued, is it ok to buy used one off eBay?

    I fitted a couple of those 'Eaton Field Kits'. They are expensive, but what price safety? Bear in mind they are quite tall, and a bit of a squeeze inside a Mem CU, especially if the installer has not been tidy with their cables.

    new minor works certificate for a fused spur

    I’ll try to be more succinct. The 1362 fuse can be changed easily. If a lower fuse is used to achieve disconnection times, and is subsequently changed to a higher fuse, then its a poor design. As said, I think we should agree to disagree.

    new minor works certificate for a fused spur

    The addition should be designed around the ocpd at the origin. Take your point about overload, but isn’t disconnection about in part safety to individuals?

    new minor works certificate for a fused spur

    I think me and other member were discussing rewireable fuses? I’m not very confident in them.

    new minor works certificate for a fused spur

    Of course they have a table, but are they manufactured anymore? Only because Appendix 15 uses them as such. My point is, it’s a poor design, to use to achieve disconnection times. We can go on arguing the point, but guess we should agree to disagree.

    new minor works certificate for a fused spur

    You correct to draw an analogy with rewireable fuses and such like. That’s perhaps why they have been made obsolete. When designing an installation, you have a duty of care to the user. Historically the were just two BS1362 fuse ratings, 3A & 13A, designed to protect the supply leads in plug...

    Cheapest/easiest way to replace these spot lights

    Downlights are all reasonably priced these days, compliant to Parts B & E Building regs. You just need to measure your existing hole in your ceiling to find something compatible.

    No power through ceiling rose

    What about a pic of the wiring at the the ceiling where the luminaire was originally. Or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick?

    new minor works certificate for a fused spur

    You have your view which I respect, but however I still think it’s a poor deign and practice, to achieve disconnection time using an FCU etc, because the additional cable is too long or too small, when other installation methods can be used. I think the concept of a FCU is for the connection of...

    new minor works certificate for a fused spur

    Still think its bad design, using 1362's to beat disconnection times, and we can't stop people meddling inside a CU, but swopping fuses inside a FCU is pretty simple mistake to make.

    new minor works certificate for a fused spur

    BS7671 supplies notes on uses of an EIC & MEIW, the former typically for new circuits the latter for additions/alteration. A MEIW has provisions for test results for circuit. As far as I'm aware, a FCU is used to limit current to the extended circuit (same as fuse in plug top to flexible cord)...
