    CPC break - share another?

    Hi! DIYer here. I have an MCB running to a cooker isolator switch. The RCD connected to this set of MCBs is tripping and isolating the cooker MCB is the only way to stop it. So, clearly a fault on this line. I‘ve disconnected the cooker and the same fault exists. I’ve tested the cable for...

    Can you feed a consumer unit from another consumer unit, It would be supplied by a non RDC protected MCB. Is this allowed as I have always seen switched fuse disconnection units.

    I've just spent 10 minutes on the phone talking to an Asian chap who says I'm registered with his company and my registration needs renewing. What does his company do? They block spam phone calls 🤣 He didn't know my name, who I get my phone through or where I live. I love spam calls. I love...

    Passing another circuit through back box

    Had a bit of a ‘discussion’ today with another electrician. Basically found a light switch in which the radial cable for a socket directly below (but about 3ft lower) passed through. Other electrician said it was wrong and shouldn’t be done. My take was that it is, at best, a bit of bad...
