    Search for Sparky Ninja on you tube, he has done an excellent video on testing a rfc at the different points of the ring and the values based on the different lengths of each leg at each point.

    Quickwire Splitter function?

    I’ve used the quickwire splitters on several occasions when installing multiple downlights, only need to use 1 power feed cable, then split this out to as many lights as required, using multiple splitters as required.

    Consumer unit change

    You could always ask you mate to come over and just sit there watch you as you do the board change and subsequent testing, just ensure he is thoroughly fed and watered every few hours, as long as he sees what you’re doing at each stage, he should be able to sign it off for you.

    Advice required regarding finding a suitable "certifier" when not personally registered

    I was recently speaking to an electrical contractor where I work and he does some occasional private domestic work and he’s not cps registered, as he does very few notifiable jobs. He showed me a copy of his T&C’s where it clearly states (in bold red text) that the ‘home owner/s’ are...

    Cut meter tails

    I’d explain to the main contractor/site manager, that unless you can replace these cut cables with new cables, you won’t sign this one off, as it’s you name on the EIC and the condition of all the wiring will be based on your companies reputation. Which ever way you spin this, a crime has been...

    Help - Had some work done

    You could always just add a note to the upstairs circuit breaker description ‘inc downstairs hall light’ so that the next electrician knows it’s on the upstairs circuit.

    Quality new install

    I don’t think there’s a “right or wrong way” to strip the t&e back, whether you use the cpc, Line & neutral conductors (as shown in the GSH college videos) or an electricians knife, it’s whatever way you prefer to do and if it works for you, then all’s good with the world. I personally can’t...

    Electrical Test Certificate

    If you were doing the rewire on behalf of your friend (nudge, nudge, wink, wink), then technically he is your QS and can then sign off your work and notify the job, that’s if he trusts you and knows you always do a good job and follow the regs.

    Customer wiring own electrics

    How are the Napit/Stroma 3rd Party certifiers covered, if they’re only testing and notifying the work without seeing how it was installed? Do Napit/Stroma exempt their 3rd party notifier contractors from any prosecution etc?

    I had a similar job recently to replace 6 down lights and found some damaged/short cables, before I replaced it, I explained to the customer that this would come under a charge of 'sundries' on the final invoice. But I always state a price for sundries on my quotes, with a caveat of 'any...

    Run new 32 amp cable to kitchen.

    Your electrician will provide with all the viable options, which may include lifting floor boards or chasing the cable in to a wall, plastic conduit etc, it's then up to you which option you want to go for, then the electrician will quote/charge you accordingly
