Hi all,
Just planning a sub main to an outbuilding .
It will be 80 metre run, buried direct on a 63amp fuse .
So I am thinking of running 25mm swa but just been doing my calcs on whether I can use armour as Cpc. The outbuilding is going to be TT so no need of a bonding conductor on the...
Have an isolator switch with 20mm screwed entries into the bottom. Have existing 25mm conduit I want to run into it. Ideally I need a simple adapter, 25mm plain to 20mm screwed conduit adapter. Does this exist cause I can't google one anywhere.
I’m running a some Adaptaflex 25mm underground and I’m just wondering where the top of the Adaptaflex meets the Pavement how could I join that on to some 25mm Galv Conduit?
Hello,
Im really new to the world of conduit. I have some 25mm pvc conduit and cant for the life of me seem to fit back boxes with 25mm knockouts. Is there an adapter that fits a 25mm conduit in to a 20mm back box? Can i cut a 25mm hole in the back box? Do the 20mm male adapters allow for 25mm...
Hi all,
This week while wiring a very old farmhouse for heaters I noticed the incoming cu tails were very long, around 20 metres from the fuse and meter which is located in an adjacent farm building to the house.25mm tails (double insulated) leave the meter and go into a kmf switch (sorry I...
Just done an EICR on a domestic, the sub main running from origin to cu is 25mm split con. Hard to know if its more than 50mm deep in walls etc without intrusive investigation. So could run with FI, but obv that doesn't deliver a satisfactory report.
Bit of a tricky one as it would have complied...

Hello everybody.
Forgive my ignorance but I have read for he past 3 days many posts regarding the meter tails in relation the a consumer unit upgrade.
It seems that to today's standards (regulations shall I say) these must be at least 25mmCSA.
In fact, in one of the of my many internet print...
hello guys i overheard a conversation last week about a supply to an outbuilding which will comprise of: 45A Shower, 32A Ring Final and 6A lighting. Total demand = 83A.
outbuilding is 28Mtrs from main house and will have no extraneous conductive parts as the water feed will be plastic.

A friend of mine replaced all electrical accessories and cables during renewal of his condo.
But the main cable they installed has burned 2 days after they switced electric on.
He rejected when he asked to his supplier for replacement. The supplier said the size choosen by electrician is wrong...
Hello
Had a new consumer unit fitted recently.
At end of day the electrician pointed out the tails from meter to CU were 16mm and the fuse at the supply head may well be 100 amps. We couldn't check this as the supply heads for the flats are in locked room and site manager chap wasn't around...
I'm using lengths of 25mm PVC channel to bury some cables in plaster/breeze, but despite trying several nail sizes, the channel keeps splitting & cracking when I secure it.
What nails are recommended to avoid this please.

just checking through my books and smokeys have to be between 25 and 600mm away from the ceiling does that mean i have to mount them on those round spacer boxes? seems a bit silly to me youd think smokeys would be designed to fit on the ceiling am i wrong about this or am i right about these...
Does anyone understand the logic of 'mandating' 25mm meter tails when upgrading a CU, when the sizing of other cables are left to the electrician's discretion?
I'm again having to explain to a little old lady with not a lot of money that she's need new meter tails with with tiny 6-way board...
