Guys,
I have my Fluke T5-1000 in as new condition for sale.
It has honestly only been used for testing about 10 times. This is because I bought this about 1 month before I got a new job as a Project Manager. This meant I am off the tools, unfortunately, and now longer need this bit of kit.
It...
Yep, the flex cables have their own earth that terminates at a earth bar inside the panel.
I think we are onto the winner there darkwood. You are a legend and a scholar.
4mm will do it for an earth right?
Hmm.
I like the galv trunking idea, just thinking about earthing now. Copper straps between joints, size of earth required...
There is a earth bar in the control panel that I believe I could use, depending on the size of the earth I need to run.
Sorry that was meant to come out as the complete opposite as you read it, my bad.
I'm not paying for any materials that I need to use so I have the pick to use anything that I want and the customer is paying the cost.
A very tough outdoor 5 core plus earth flex. Really tough stuff but still want a bit of protection even though it will be clipped inside the channel and not protruding at all.
If I use a metal plate do I have to earth the plate?
Cables come pre wired into a special plug for the pump, 1.55kw Jung Pumpen sewage pumps, so don't want to cut and re-terminate. And the length of the cable is plenty for the run to the panel.
Forgot to mention that float switching cable and a 230V sump pump cable also being run into this...
"You say an inch wide channel if its deep enough will the keg not be able to contact it do to the narrow nature of the chase?"
They, two pumps,will be completely inside the channel.
Was thinking a strip of 3mm (?) metal plate but as it bends and then carries on around the corner need some...
Doing a job where the cables to the pumps used to buried in concrete. Don't ask me why but I am there to fix it.
Cable has a fault and need to replace.
A inch channel of the brick work removed is now there so am going to clip the cables into the channel. But as it is in the cellar and a small...

Wow. Getting a nice 'ole hammering here.
Its not that I can't extend a piece of SWA, I was actually looking for suggestions on best practice.

Re: Extending Main Incoming SWA cable by about 1 metre.And how do I tell what size it
Ouch, but I completely understand the criticism looking at the state of it at the moment. Was a mess before I started though.
That 4mm T&E going in was like that when we bought the place. But they will also...

Hey all,
I am replacing my old metal Non-RCD protected consumer unit with a nice new consumer unit.
I live in a block of flats and I am in the bottom left of the flats.
I have done all the mounting and recessing that I had to do first.
And I now have it wired up and working but definately...
