    Scrap the Ring final circuit

    Yes agreed! tbh fixing rfc faults can be frustrating but can only really be done by an experienced spark, so ultimately more work for us...yay

    Repurpose submain

    My basic knowledge is fine, if I got my college books out and spent an evening working it all out, I am sure I could nail this scenario down, however its a little outside my recent experience (the specific scenario of exclusively multiple single phase socket outlets on a 3 phase supply) & if I...

    Repurpose submain

    Agree that the 100mA intermediate RCD is superfluous as there is indeed an 's' type up front however this rcd is the mainswitch in the board feeding the sub and is of an 'historic' type, so replacing it with a mainswitch of the correct type might be difficult and add to the cost of the job if...

    Repurpose submain

    Ok Thanks for the replies. Did post yesterday but I guess it got lost in the ether..(server change?) I went to the site yesterday and tested the cable, which is fine and according to my calcs will be ok on the 50A device. As far as using a 3 phase board and rcbos, that was my first thought but...

The premises is an old industrial site comprising various historic buildings etc. There is an existing 3 phase supply to the location that used to feed a building that has been...

    (Another!) Main switch tripping...

    Called out to elderly couple's house today - no power. All 3 lighting circuit breakers are tripped and mainswitch is off. Quick check reveals PIR lightswitch faulty and 1 lamp failed. Replaced the PIR switch for standard 1G2W switch and reset everything, seems fine now. Question is, how did...

    Ebay Consumer unit (new) thoughts

    Have a look at the new 'Newlec' boards from Newey & Eyre. Made by Havells using what are basically the old Wylex pattern devices, although the 1 I fitted today was a bit different...Really well thought out with industrial style bolt in gland plate (comes with conduit & trunking entry options in...

    Interesting cable system

    Did some work on a sheltered housing style flat from the 80's today. It was wired in a type of 'cable' I don't think I've seen before, comprising a flat flexible thick rubber 'conduit' with 3 separate tunnels each containing a PVC single core of very high quality, the sizes of the conductors...

    TT outbuilding

    Thanks for reply. Yes box is identified and gland is external to box but has a very tight fitting shroud entirely covering gland. Yes, I would have preferred to use 6181Y but can't seem to readily find it in sizes below 10mm and there was no space to fit a bigger box to terminate a larger size...

    TT outbuilding

The old install was supplied from the house via 6mm swa on a 30a BS3036 with the earthing connected to the house...
