    Best place to buy LED bulbs.

    Toolstation have a good range and are quite cheap. You may need to get the internal wiring of the fluorescent light altered before you fit an LED lamp.

    Combining cables to increase current capacity?

    That sounds easier than trying to get 2 submains into a domestic consumer unit. You should be able to split the tails after the on peak meter to supply both switch fuses.

    Combining cables to increase current capacity?

    Another option would be 2 on peak boards, thus keeping the 2 submains separate, but fed from the on peak supply.

    Intermittent fault finding

    He's probably been to a job with a dodgy ring final and a knackered RCD😉

    Fused switch with two feeds but no load?

    Yes, possibly an immersion heater, or for a shower pump or even boiler wiring.

    Fused switch with two feeds but no load?

    It's likely to be part of a ring circuit (or socket circuit in non electrical talk). The electricity flows both ways around the ring circuit, so both cables are indeed feeds, and they should be supplied from the same fuse or circuit breaker in your consumer unit (fuse box).

    gG fuses and motor rated

    As I understand it, the cable needs to be capable of carrying the current of the lower rating and the ZS compliant with the upper rating. Great question by the way, thank you!

    FuseBox AFDD Combined RCBO

    More affordable than the others I have seen though!

    104 design project help

    You'll need to consider whether metal trunking is suitable for the damp/corrosive environment. The conduits for the lights in the pool could be cast into the concrete.

    Have I got 2 x mains switches?

    Yes, in functional terms, you have. In practical terms you are likely to need both as one belongs the the electricity board, the other is to provide fused protection to the cabling to your consumer unit in the house.

    104 design project help

    Hi Aiden, It's likely to have been designed by C&G to make you think about the installation thoroughly. You've noticed that the floors and walls are concrete which will probably steer you to a surface mounted installation. You now need to consider External Influences and what type of...

    Have I got 2 x mains switches?

    The new, white switch is provided by the electricity board so that you can connect to their supply without opening the meter or pulling their main fuse. The dark coloured MEM switch fuse will also probably also isolate your entire installation (depending on how the white wylex board below it...

    Fuse box memera 2000 AD

    Rcbo pods are still available but it would make sense to replace the consumer unit as they are expensive and wouldn't resolve the other issues that you've mentioned. A consumer unit replacement is notifiable work for Part P of the building regulations so I'd advise getting an electrician to...

    3kw appliance moulded plug top

    Problem is that sockets aren't made as well as they used to be. I doubt there's much brass in them these days.

    3kw appliance moulded plug top

    Do the manufacturers instructions state that removing the plug top invalidates the warranty? They may also state "not for commercial use".

    What codes for this EICR?

    C2 for it not working. Possibly C3 if you were coding for it's 63A rating, provided there's no evidence of thermal damage, but how often is the shower running and the cooker running at full capacity at the same time? The ring finals may have minimal loads? .

    16A socket with 3A load

    Unless the manufacturers instructions of the light fitting specify the rating of the protective device, then it's ok as it is.

    3Phase ASHP - 16a RCBO/ TP

    You could go for a 3 phase RCD in a separate enclosure as an alternative.

    Cost to change a fuseboard.

    Apart from the immersion, it could be a 16th edition install. But if it was wired in 60's or 70's the borrowed neutral is one to watch out for!

    What kind of work do you do?

    I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but I wondered what kind of electrical work everyone does? For me I'm self employed for 2 days a week and employed for the other 3. For both jobs I work in the further/higher education sector installing and maintaining most things electrical. The 3...
