    Earthing conductor also bonding the water...is this allowed?...

    The EC appears to be clamped to the water pipe just before going outside to the spike. Was this ever standard? Its a TT with Ze of 36 ohms. Is it best practice to run a separate EC and water bod to MET. (no gas in house).

    Spur from a spur? Theoretical reason for it being allowed...

    Hi chaps... Been asked to add a light in an under-stairs cupboard. A spur from the downstairs socket circuit runs through that cupboard to a double 13A outlet in the kitchen. I'd like to tap into that for the light, but under the regs I'd have to fuse it down first. The thing is, the 2.5mm...

    I was doing a bunch of very dull office pat testing yesterday, 90% IT so hardly anything to do. It suddenly occured to me that as I could see everything bit of kit fully to be able to verify the visual condition, and I knew eveything was operable, if I just tested the via the plug on the end of...

    Why are you only allowed one spur per socket on a RFC?

    This is something I have been racking my brain over for ages and its doing my head in!! :crazy: Please could someone explain why you are only allowed to have one unfused spur per socket on a RFC?
