    Electric sockets tripping

    Even if it’s intermittent then it’s going to have a IR that’s pretty low on one of those circuits. If it trips every hour, I recon a decent spark could find it within a hour through methodical testing. 1599246392 Got any outside lights off the socket circuit?

    2919 EV Charging

    After spending most of my day researching this course and how to become approved with manufacturers and OLEV I have signed up onto the C&G course. Anyone who has done it got any tips? What’s the exam like? Decent enough course?

    Rewiring lights

    No it wouldn’t be once I’d multi tooled a 3 inch strip from one end of the room to the other either ?

    Rewiring lights

    Speedbit through the joist, as far as I am aware notching the underside of the joist is not allowed.

    Does anyone still use connector block..?

    When’s the last time you opened a wiring centre that wasn’t yours to find ferrules on the end of cables. I’ve never seen one in my life, normally a nest of cables. Wagos for everything now, even temporary joints and testing, just use the 221 series. Wholesalers say that they still sell the same...

    New build - DNO fuse size

    90% I see are 80A, however give them a call to be certain.

    Downlight min distance to joists

    Just out of interest, what’s your thoughts on spotlights in wooden panelled ceilings with halogen lamps? Also it’s easy enough to stick to manufacturers instructions regarding insulation unit a few month later, someone’s in the loft and insulation gets back over the fitting.

    Incomplete ring circuits?

    Pubs are a different breed altogether. We would do a 20% test of the installation each year. In most cases I was getting the last 20% so all the rings were left as the years before the lads had just opted for the easier radials. Lots of adapted circuits, countless spurs on spurs. Pubs are awful...

    Incomplete ring circuits?

    Yes there are defiantly a lot more poor connections than open rings. I mainly test social housing which are maintained, erm I’ll say ‘averagely’ well. So the lads doing to works should be competent enough. I do like the idea of 32A 4mm radials everywhere, however it doesn’t take much to de rate...

    Incomplete ring circuits?

    Id say of all the circuits I test 2% have an open ring so about 1 in 50. I’d say 20% have a off reading so line and neutral not the same or CPC >1.67 that of the line and neutral. Ive not commented on the other thread, cause it’s just daft. Both circuits have their uses. I actually wired a 32A...

    Adding of socket outlet

    Likely not, but I’d take lifting a carpet over patching a hole that size by day ?

    What’s above, can you not get under the floor and do it that way

    3 phase domestic supply

    I have worked in a domestic property with 2 phases before. Will be interesting to see how standard single phase supplies cope with a house with an Electric Boiler, EV Charger, Induction Hob and Electric Shower in the near future. At the moment the Priority Units are a decent solution to the...

    Has anyone used this socket tester?

    TIS stands for This Is $hit. Hate all there stuff. Had the Kline version of this, the RCD tripper was only really useful when testing schools and the circuits were somewhere unexpected (That’s if the buggers had RCD protection)

    Sockets not working, why?

    Don’t pay either of the mugs who have been so far. Get a decent lad in. The one who recommended a rewire off a fault is a joke just going off one fault unless you have rubber or lead cables in, which I doubt cause that board is only 5 years old at most, unless you changed the board yourself.

    Dado problems MK

    Problem with that is if it is a council job, there IT lads will go to add a data point in a few months and kick up a fuss and then you will end up taking it all out anyway, just this time there will be desks, computers and people in the way aswell.

    Dado problems MK

    Thank feck it’s not your job then. Be a nightmare if you have to replace 170m of that tat, it’s crap enough to fit first time, never mind with all the cables cut to perfect lengths etc. Feel sorry for you mate.

    Dado problems MK

    I used the MK prestige stuff 4/5 years ago on some council offices. Took 3 of us a weekend to lid it, my palm must have gone through about 5 layers of skin that weekend, it’s a shitshow. Are you sure you have bottom lid and not top lid as they are different if I remember correctly? They might...
