Hi all.
I have a job of wiring 3 lights on a tarmac drive with a block border. The customer is set on the ksr calanda bollard. Problem with it is there is no way you are getting 2 swa into them fittings. Either side of the drive is neighbors driveways so not possible to have swa on a post...
Fitted plenty of the bg nexus flat plate over the years which had the sector branding.
Not been back to one yet (touch wood)
Mk is always been my usual choice, but for the price u can't go wrong
Remember the nest thermostat needs wiring back to heat link as it is 12v
Unless u are not putting it in old thermostat position, and are plugging it in somewhere
Go for the ones which have the 10 year lithium batteries,(ei161). you will be replacing the 9v batteries when they run out in the other units, and cursing at them when they are bleeping in the middle of the night
Most I have wired have required a extra core for the night set back mode.
I have also wired one where the stats needed a cat 5 to them.
Most work better with a floor sensor in too.
Best thing to do is read the instructions throughly
I have done 7 eicr this month.
Some passed, some failed. You can only test the installation to the current regs. If it's an installation from the 16th edition it doesn't mean it's going to fail. The most common c2 I write down is no supplementry bonding in bathrooms without rcd protection. No...
I agree
A type c breaker should solve the problem.
We tend to fit type c on lighting breakers. Helped stoped breaker tripping when a filament lamp came to the end of its life too
He said it was tripping out.
But still hasn't come back to us about what part is tripping out.
Most of the time on a water heater it is to do with the safety cutout. Unless the element is starting to fail.
It will more than likely be the thermostats safety cut out that is tripping. Get them happening alot in immersion heaters. Try lowering the temp down on thermostat. If it still trips, you will probably need a new thermostat.
That's if the safety cut out is built into the thermostat.
Couldn't...
Yes sure
Will have to have a look in the office tomorrow.
I always try to take a picture of the mat down, and the ohm reading on my multimeter. Just incase anyone tries to pin the blame on you.
We have used a firm that come out to remair mats
They were brilliant. Used a thermal camera to pinpoint damage. Repaired the Matt with minimal damage to floor.
Did u take a reading of the resistance of the Matt before and after laying?
Matt normally has a figure in ohms attached to it
We have been fitting the schneider boards as they are on offer.
Only gripe I have with them is the neutral bar is running down the sides, when changing a board, neutrals are normally short.
Couldn't beat the old square d quickline board
