    Enviwarm

    Hi folks, I just wondered if anyone has come across or worked upon Enviwarm heaters before? I was at client's house the other day, just finishing off, getting ready to go on to my next job. They said "while you're here...., can you see if you can fix my heating please?" I say "Okaaayyy, I'll...

    Nothing went in my favour today.

    As someone else mentioned it's usually something simple like that. I had a beauty the other week: It was a big house with one end used as an annexe (let out). There was a dual RCD board for the main house and another dual RCD board for the annexe. I attended the callout and found nuissance...

    Automatic Board Change?

    Yep I agree, to say just "It needs changing because it's old" is wrong.

    Automatic Board Change?

    Yes, another possible reason for advising a board change there. BS3036 fuses are still a recognised means of protection of course, but each job assesd on it's merits. Then options presented to client. There's nothing wrong with that, surely?

    what work

    Yes, they just want our money really. Another point worth mentioning is that CG2391 isn't the only way of becoming competent in inspection and testing. Which is another reason why it isn't insisted upon.

    Automatic Board Change?

    Obviously it depends on the situation. If someone asks you " I have a re-wireable fusebox, does it need changing" Then the answer is no.....Unless, are they having alterations and additions to their installation? Do these alterations require RCD protection? Then quite possibly a board change is...

    Multiple Electrodes, distributed TT system

    I would suggest linking the electrodes throughout. The intake is TT, so there is no reason to have seperate equipotential zones. Also consider discrimination of RCDs.

    NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC Rant

    For me it's just about treating people the way you would like to be treated, basic manners one man to another, whether I'm paying or not. If someone thinks it should be moved then go for it, I'm not worried who sees it, no names mentioned anyway. I'm also perfectly happy with being picked up on...

    Cakey - I should be more like that, I'm crap at complaining! It's like if you complain about your starter in a restaurant, I worry that my main cousre will then be laced with the chef's special sauce or the like! I feel that if I complain, he might be even more picky and horrible next time. I...

    I get all the good ones - circuits interconnected i expect.

    Oh also; I carried out continuity tests between the neutrals of this cable and the rest of the neutral bar (main switch off) and got greater than 2000 ohms. I did the same with the live of the cable and the other lighting lives, in their corresponding circuit breakers and also got greater than...

    Have you seem this done before? - Neutral connected to the cpc!!!

    Have you seem this done before? - Neutral connected to the cpc!!!

    Thanks I could be wrong but in the past (well before my time) this was known as an IT system. Where the neutral was connected to the cpc at the point of utilisation. Or did I just make that up? sure I've heard something like that before..... Maybe someone will know.......

    Have you seem this done before? - Neutral connected to the cpc!!!

One of the switches was for the lounge light (fair enough) the other switch was for an outside light, that appeared to have been installed relatively recently (new colours). There was no neutral at...
