    Fault query!

    Also the lights in the fridge are blown as well by the looks off things!

    Fault query!

    The lamps have gone by the looks off things yes, but all 3 at the same time, what would cause this? The fuse in plugtop is fine as well. Yes.

    Fault query!

    Yes there's voltage at the cu in the garage, the sockets, the first connection point in the freezer & at the garage lights. It's like all the bulbs have blown & possibly something inisde the fridge & freezer?

    Fault query!

    My shed has a supply off it's own. Inside is an old 2 way consumer unit, which feeds two circuits one lighting & one sockets circuit. Anyway to cut a long story short, checked the freezer today and it doesn't seem to be working at all. There is power going to inside the connection area but from...

    Aw I see, he's not a know it all but your not far wrong about the full of ale bit! lol. No problem, he's not a tool must just be getting his wires crossed! (no pun intended!)

    I assume this is meant to be a joke, afraid I don't get it!

    Will do. Cheers. Yes been asked to design one as more of a favour to someone. Just trying to gather information on it as like I said I've very little experience! Thanks for your briefing, will look into all points. Nice one.

    What do you mean stager? Nor have I but like I said I've never done much fire alarms at all. Also what height for breakglasses & sounderrs? Or will it be in the on-site guide?

    Afraid not, someone tried telling me they thought the lights came off the panel as they would automatically light up if the alarms went off etc... I thought that sounded a bit strange along with another couple of bits of information he told me hence the reason I asked here! I've only helped wire...

    Hi guys looking for a bit of advice on these. I've done a small bit of research so have a rough idea about these but a few things I'm not sure about. Any time I've done fire alarms (not much admittedly) they've always been wired in a loop but I understand you can just wire them in a radial as...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Did the IR test today. 0.01 mega ohms so bonding it is!

    So the bullit stays in. I'll do this test & shall have my answers. Man I wish I was still doing maintenance, lol.

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Ah, never heard it called that before! Don't ask what made me think I had to pull it but for some reason I thought whole installation had to be isolated.

    Sorry you've lost me Glennspark?! Bullit?!

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Cheers. So just pull the house fuse, do the IR then take it from there if it needs bonded or not...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Thanks Glennspark. Regarding bonding, Am I right in thinking that by getting my wandering lead & going between the steelwork and the met, then after pulling the fuse, if I do an IR this values should tell me if it needs it or not, if I can remember correctly it's anything over 22k or 23k ohms...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    I'm not actually 100% sure it needs bonding as it's sitting on small bits of wood each side, it's not sunk into concrete into the ground so it's not a clear path to ground, although dampness etc could change this. One of my mates is home from the rigs next week going to have a look to see what...

    Pretty sure if it was a 10mm SWA would still need a seperate earth for bonding no? Unless used the armour as an earth I suppose. Also the guy is tight as anything, every penny a prisoner so he wasn't wanting anything he didn't have to.

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    1 more question regarding this damn garage again!! Right carried out the swa/ducting plan. Obviously he'd already measured off the 10mm earth so I had just run it in with my swa, anyway the garage door has a steel frame down each side, bolted to the wall, sitting on very small wooden stilts then...

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    Yeh someone just said that. If needed I'll just run the seperate 10mm. I never knew until this thread that the armour was 7 odd mill though, learn something new every day!
