    Hi there, any chance you could......

    I always remember my mate talking to someone in the pub about a re-wire, the bloke went over the spec and my mate went away and did the figures, £2.5k he says. The bloke says gosh that's a bit steep, how much would it be if I did all the chases and ran the cables for you. My mate say oh, ok let...

    What should I do with a new crabtree loadstar board.

    I still don't get all this DC leakage stuff, even if a storage heater was connected to an AC RCD, if say solar panels were fitted to a separate board why would the DC leakeage not affect the AC RCD, its all ultimately connected together at the meter tails. Or is it considered only a problem is...

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    Managed to do this in the end by fitting one of these. https://www.tradingdepot.co.uk/evin0075-rolec-40a-three-phase-ev-consumer-unit-with-type-a-rcbo?ff=1&fp=116570&of_opi=MFRWG5B5GQZTOJTGMVSWISLEHUYSM4DSN5SESZB5G43DMNJT&source=FreeClick SPD is still powered so all should be good now.

    What should I do with a new crabtree loadstar board.

    Not sure whether I've asked this or not before but the long and short of it is a while ago I needed to fit a crabtree board at short notice and as I hate using my phone to order stuff I managed to click on the older Crabtree stock which had the AC RCD's in them. I didn't even notice until I'd...

    Anybody recognise this logo?

    My dad used to work as a manager at S.E.I. in the 60's and 70's, it was a part of G.E.C. and they used to make all sorts of stuff like this, we had one of these at home as the main test instrument. He was always bringing home weird electrical stuff that they made, telephone PCB's, big...

    I agree about being employed for a few years, best place to get your customer base from when you eventually jump ship.

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    Thats from the ebay listing, it says it has PEN fault detection protection and GROUND fault detection protection, surely the second one is an RCD, but the email reply I got back from iON says it isn't built in. With all the chargers available, why would someone buy the cheapest chinesium...

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    Another thing I've just thought of, what about all the other RCBO's in the board, I've not had to touch them yet but if the charger is installed could the DC affect them, do they need changing to type A (if they aren't already) or even type B's. I honestly don't know why anyone would get...

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    Why would I be on the windup, not everyone is a goody two shoes. Anyway went today and found this label on the side of it, more confused than ever now. So does that mean it has type A/AC protection built into it or it needs it, I thought if it needed RCD protection it should be type B. We...

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    What I do find baffling though is this is meant to be the future, the government want everyone in little electric euro boxes but if I was doing a similar job to this for an independent customer I'd want about £2-3K to even think about getting involved, its not a line of work I would like to get...

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    I do care, I don't do dangerous stuff, I just don't do everything anyone tells me to do, if I think a reg is daft or over the top I'll do what I think is right, I use common sense instead of blind faith. The limited instructions I linked to earlier state that it has open PEN protection and...

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    Most of thats rubbish, you must know that. If the immersion blew you would simply switch it off at the DP switch and carry on using the boiler circuit, apart from the fact the immersion is only used if the boiler breaks, not the other way round. As for blowing the PCB fuses, how? you could spur...

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    Yes I know but I live in the real world. Regs like this were brought about so you didn't piggy back them off something like a socket circuit that was already loaded. Lets take an immersion circuit, they used to run off a fused spur from the ring without any problem whatsoever, then someone said...

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    And yet in over 30 years of doing this the amount of cockups I've been called back to still sits at zero, not one loose connection, not one socket wired backwards. Yet virtually every installation I turn up to looks like its been wired by Stevie Wonder. People will miss my sort when we are...

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    Their sole purpose in the construction industry is to leach off the hard working tradesman whilst making his or her job intolerably harder. that goes for most industries also. You can clearly see this when a site manager slopes off for the day and everyone is left to their own devices, the...
