    Turn light automatically on through vibration sensor

    Hmm off the wall idea, fix a head bopper to the loading station angled so that when the pager is in place it presses against a point further up the spring. When the pager vibrates the head bopper should move about and this should be detectable by a standard microwave movement sensor (shrouded so...

    Socket shows LN Reverse on socket tester

    Because you appear to be getting a reading before the socket switch is on this would indicate that the switch is not switching the line but instead is switching the neutral, which would be consistent with telectrix's statement above. A simple, but potentially dangerous, wiring error.

    Need Advice on Single LED Purchase

    Probably your best bet is to buy a prewired LED from ebay avoid the majority that are set up for 12V supplies and also buy a jst micro lead then join the two in a connector block to get a micro connector ended LED. Measure the distance between the two silver connections to get the pitch of the...

    2365 Design Project - May need some advice.

    BS7671 states that every (non protective bonding) protective conductor must be calculated from the adiabatic equation or selected from table 54.7. This is the basic requirement to meet. Then there are also other limits applied for various circumstances: For unenclosed single core copper...

    2365 Design Project - May need some advice.

    From my point of view you have specified Type B for the MCBs for all circuits except the Fridges, therefore you need to specify what type MCB you will use for the Fridges. The Fridges are quite large, it appears; as I said in an earlier post most commercial fridges would not exceed 500W (2.1A)...

    Lamp post temp supply circuit arrangement

    You are correct; I was originally not aiming for the commando socket but the other options but having just read the definition of socket outlet these other options would also be considered socket outlets and so require 30aA RCD protection. This means that whenever I fitted click flow connectors...

    Lamp post temp supply circuit arrangement

    The lighting circuit part, being non domestic, should not require RCD protection unless the cables are going inside walls! Therefore there should be no requirement to RCD protect the cable itself. H07RNF is a better cable than Arctic flex. Having 30mA RCD protection already in place does...

    The Forgotten Few....

    People come and go, some fond memories, some foul, but in general the forum manages to tick on whoever is on here. The dilution factor can help at times! I am backing off a bit at the moment, but may resurge at a later date. It is nice to have a known person on the forum posting because you can...

    I have already mentioned 134.1.1!:wink: But I pressed the agree button for your post but must have missed it!

    Definitive answer please - EICR

    If you have the competence and experience to correctly and safely complete the inspection and testing of an installation and make a valid and justifiable report on its condition then you are allowed to do this. The legal requirements would come from the Electricity at work Regulations which...

    Regs book at office

    Cooking loads over 2kW should not be supplied from a ring according to a note in appendix 15, T&E is advised in the ISITEE guidelines as being unsuitable for a use in a plug becauce the cable is not designed for frequent movement. 134.1.1 and 510.3 "shall take account of manufacturers...

    Overall main switch where the installtion has off peak heating ?

    Obviously the ideal is a four pole isolator, however there is some consideration that the post Des56 has just made is the point I was to make! Too slow.
