Now I have found clear information on what...

    Having just redecorated, I would like to put a table lamp in the hallway, but there are no plug sockets. Where I want the socket is adjacent to a socket on the lounge wall, so it would be easy to add a spur from this socket, with some 2.5 T&E and drill through the plasterboard. The socket I...

    Flexible cords and HO7RN-F for fixed installations

    I read carefully BS7671, 17th ed., 521.9 and guidance note 1, Table F3 and F5, and no where does it say that flexible cords, such as HO7RN-F can not be used for fixed installations. I hear that was not allowed in the 15th edition but long since allowed. Am I missing something?

    BS 3036 fuses not allowed for new circuits!!

    This is what my assessor has told me! He states that the BS3036 does not meet the 0.4s disconnection times and cannot be used for any new work. I do not have a BRB so cannot see the disconnection times for a 3036. Surely he is wrong? He is suggesting that we have to change the 3036 if we want...
