    2 switch socket connection to a cable with a 3 pin plug at the end

    I'm fairly sure that's what the OP is planning. I got the impression the OP wasn't confident to go into the back of the existing socket. I guess if they had, they'd have seen about how the Earth is connected. :)

    Possibly just me but i just get really insulted

    Making statements like the OP - and I understand they have their reasons - is nevertheless somewhat ignorant of certain realities and situations. I'd say there are / will be a number of people (not just men) in their 30's (and older) going down this road. More power to them, I say. When...

    2 switch socket connection to a cable with a 3 pin plug at the end

    Sorry about the 450mm comment, it was meant to be somewhat tongue in cheek. As has been said, it's a Building Regs thing (Part M). It's to ensure that those with limited reach are able to access the socket. Slapped wrist (rightly) for me. I did notice the new socket outlet was lower than...

    I really hope those rusty terminal blocks are on the 12v DC side. And even then.... :eek:

    Separately, I wonder if that new socket is higher than 450mm from the finished floor level...

    2 switch socket connection to a cable with a 3 pin plug at the end

    So, it looks like what you've made is essentially an extension lead, encased in mini-trunking. Okay. Do you own a continuity tester? If you do, put one probe on one earth terminal, and put the other on the other earth terminal. You will find that there is continuity. That means there is...

    HELP - simple question, please keep it simple

    Logically, if the supply has a blip, it's the supply to your home. Everything would be subject to the blip. Computers and similar items (like clever TVs and recorders, etc) are more sensitive to such things.

    HELP - simple question, please keep it simple

    Telectrix means the supply. So, I googled 'Nintendo Wii U shutting itself down.' Country Selector at Nintendo - https://nintendoservicecentre.co.uk/support/wii/my-wii-shuts-off-on-its-own This points to either unlicenced accessories or a damaged AC adapter causing the shutdown. When you...

    HELP - simple question, please keep it simple

    Okay - so like I said earlier, do some research on the type of console. Everything pretty much points to that. As such, I understand your discretion as to it's make. Darkood has talked about the components inside these things to deal with power flucuations - if any of those components are...

    HELP - simple question, please keep it simple

    Okay, here's a straight-forward follow up question. When the console powers off, do you have to reset any circuit breakers in the board? If no, it makes it less likely that there is a problem with the actual stuff on/in the wall. Des's suggestion of putting a table lamp in the other socket is...

    HELP - simple question, please keep it simple

    Have you tried something else in the socket? I don't think you've mentioned. Seems odd (to me) to go straight for dismantling the socket when the only thing to go wrong is a computer console. Separately, it sounds to me like a thermal cut out on the console. Make sure the area it is in has...

    New to forum and still learning

    Welcome, Pastyspark! Not prattled on at all, nice to read people's stories. I hope the apprentice doesn't give you too much grief.

    16 amp socket help please

    Okay, stupid question time. Is this installation designed to supply something like a market stall? The reason I ask is because I see C type RCBOs have been fitted.

    A rock and a hard place, how to train later in life?

    Just to add my 0.02... I'm the other side of what you're contemplating. I now have 2365 L2+L3, plus latest 17th Ed. I did it through Able Skills, and took the decision to take their full-time option - but then I don't have a family to support and had savings. If you want to know more about...
