Why would you let someone work on your property without providing a a quotation? Especially if the end value is going to matter to you?
I agree both to blame, sparky sounds a bit dodge but at least the work got done.
Why did you let it go on so far? Shouldn’t you have said something at the time?
I don’t see a problem with doing it with a knife. I just think it’s a faff and more risk of catching the cables. Trying to get your knife in a small accessory box is a pain.
I am going to disagree.
I still cut a neat edge with my knife at the end of the cable.
If you connect 10 sockets on a RFC and connected them both ways. I bet the resistance of the cpc ring is the same. A lot of rubbish. My college didn’t even bother telling us otherwise.
Please don’t tell me we are still reverting to the “ your going to stress the copper conductor, therefor decreases CSA, therefore an immediate fire risk.” o_O
I strip it like that, not one of my jobs has ever went wrong
I remember when trades were nice to each other on site and looked out for their fellow comrades.
Yes there is a single box that needs to be used beneath that finishing plaster.
They would plaster round a window to a good standard, so why not a socket box neatly :mad:
You shouldn’t rely on a control circuit for primary means of isolation.
Is there not another means of isolation? Does the main panel not have a Isolator which breaks the electrical supply to all the machine & can be locked out?
Phone a couple of companies and tell them the information above and get a few quotes to compare. There is nothing hard involved.
You sound like you have knowledge of certain aspects of the electrical trade, so no doubt you will discover if the companies are up to scratch.
If there is 3 new RCBOs and it's still tripping.
Are they ring final circuits? Do you have the correct legs of each ring circuit?
Maybe dig deeper into the route cause in the field. Disconnect items from each socket
