    Off peak immersion heating wiring query...

    I've been testing some flats that have immersion heaters, 2 supplies - daytime and off peak. The off peak supply is wired from the meter through a contactor then back into the mcb, with the outgoing supply to the immersion heater coming from the contactor. However, when the mcb is isolated, the...

    So back to the original post... You would put them down to be replaced on a EICR?

    Crabtree C50's... What code, if any?

    Mainly for the lack of RCD protection on sockets, cables in walls etc... I was not aware you could get RCBO's to fit in them tbh. And like i said a few posts ago, i've worked for some testing companies who insisted on a code 3 and a recommendation for them to be replaced.

    Crabtree C50's... What code, if any?

    Aye, that was my thinking to be honest. I've worked for companies before who insisted on a code 3 and recommend replacing them. Dodgy testing companies! Haha. Cheers.

    Crabtree C50's... What code, if any?

    Cable Size

    Most the hotels i've tested usually have 1 DB supplying 2 rooms, located in the riser between the 2 rooms. Usually fed by a 10 or 16mm T+E, protected by a 32 or 40A MCB back at the sub board on the same floor. Never seen a sub board supplied by a 16mm T+E. They're usually a 25mm SWA at least...

    NAPIT Certification Scheme House rewire for Napit Assessment

    I'm rewiring my mate's house, so figured it'd be good to use for my Napit assessment. The thing is, he wants to totally refurb the kitchen at a much later date, so doesn't really want new power circuits putting in there yet. My query is... Will Mr Napit assessor be satisfied if i rewire the rest...

    Do you have to protect submain if wired in SWA?

    I'm not 100% sure, but won't you need an earth rod at the garage if it's a PME system and being outside the equipotential zone from the main installation?

    house extention supply cable.

    Without knowing the demands of the cooker/shower etc, it's tough to say. If it's a a normal swa, not xlpe, clipped direct, a 16mm can carry around 89 amps. Assuming diversity, i would say it'd be ok. That's just my opinion/theory though.

    I'm considering self employment as the company I work for are complete arseholes! With regard to part P, is that really a must have? I already have the 2391 qualification, doesn't that show that I'm competent?
