    Just a wee take on wiring power circuits and alarm circuits in a garage

    Doesn't solve the premature collapse issue, but cable clip nail plugs are a thing and they make normal plastic clips an option in walls where normally they aren't... I'm building a collection of various fire rated clips, but its annoying that they often only sell them in 100 packs, whereas I...

    Help with NIC supervision record?

    Is that for contractors? Not had anything like that mentioned for mine next Friday, but that's as a DI. Is there anything on the NICEIC site in the contractors area? they sometimes have examples which can be copied.... I imagine it's just to show that new developments have been noted or...

    Actually In the eaves which are almost large enough to stand up in, with a window at one end! Luxury by my normal standards!

    Dodgy trade pictures for your amusement! - 1 Million Views!

    Just isolate a couple of wall lights before plastering, the builders said.... 3 of these in a small house covering every light fitting. Was probably once quite neat and labelled - but had been added to over the years. Probably looked very neat back when it was all wire nuts... Still, did...

    Best torque/electric torque screwdriver set?

    If you want the cheapest that is usable, the Draper one is hard to beat in my opinion. On Prime day it was up for £45ish, but even at £69 its cheaper than most of the options out there. It covers the range you are likely to need on most jobs. (1-5Nm) You will need to get the +/- bits...

    350ma test for type A rcds

    I have my NICEIC assessment next Friday so I may bring this up - I always like to have some 'talking points' - stops them looking too closely at the paperwork 😉 I'm thinking of a case where there is a surface mounted cable that feeds a fixed appliance. In future, we won't be able to test AFDDs...

    350ma test for type A rcds

    It's only 1x on any form of testing, EICR or initial I believe. The 5x are additional optional tests according to GN3, for troubleshooting or diagnosis purposes only, not for routine testing and specifically not for compliance with BS7671.

    350ma test for type A rcds

    Yes, note 6. Since RCDs are only rated for a finite number of operations, carrying out frequent optional tests can shorten the product’s life. For example, in carrying out all of the above tests, including optional tests, for a 30 mA Type B RCD, would require the RCD to trip 12 times. Also...

    350ma test for type A rcds

    As of AMD 2 of 7671:2018, the only test that is needed for any type RCDs is a simple test at the rated residual operating current. So the test is now at 30mA, with a requirement that it disconnects within 300ms. Previously, the test for an RCD offering additional protection was at 5x or 150mA...

    Temporary Hybrid/Lollipop Circuit

    In terms of overloading the cable there is nothing dangerous with your proposal. However, it is non-standard and as such any electrician doing it would need to do the calculations to be sure that it complies with all relevant regulations, not to mention be happy to put their name to it on a...

    NAPIT Certification Scheme Fraudulent EICR, who to contact?

    Unfortunately as you are finding, there is little to no practical oversight of the PRS scheme. It is the local authority who has the official oversight, rather than NAPIT, though they might have done more to address your concerns IMO. Depending on your council, they may or may not be helpful -...

    Fused spur tv connection how to disconnect

    If it helps you to visualise, the back of the fused spur will likely look like this: And the flex from the TV will have 3 connections to undo, which should be in the terminals marked LOAD, while the others ones will be the feed in and should be left - the plate can then be screwed back on and...

    No back box ... Just straight into the wall behind

    Just taken out two double sockets (one above the other, fancy like) in a kitchen that were screwed to joists with wood screws, to find a big hole behind, so it's not only a foreign thing apparently!

    Oops I did it again...

    Using mine today, and noticed that each pocket has the tip type marked, so they must have upgraded them! Does rely on you putting them back in the right pocket though....
