Hi people, I'm due to do a cu change and noticed the single bonding cable to gas then to water but it's in two bits of cable. Am I right in thinking that it have to correct this due to cu change? It would mean running another cable which is annoying as gas and water are about 18inches apart but...
I pulled the black lead out my 1553 today and the whole connection came with it! So basically I don't have a tester, any ideas on who I can send it too to have it repaired at a fair price?
Ideally with a quick turnaround!
I've been let loose today to do a PIR, EICR, E, I,E,I, O what ever they wanna call them these days in an empty flat and have an annoying CPC broken in RFC.
2 bed flat
3 way CU - Cooker (30), Lights (6) and RFC(30)
End to end of r1 and rn fine but r2 is broken.
This is what I did-

I have just moved into a 3 bed end-of-terrace built in 1969 that was supposed to have still-functional electric underfloor heating in the concrete.
An electrician said it wasn't working and disconnected it (removed the thermostats and cut the cables running to the consumer unit, even though I...
Hi
I'm new here and I'm not an electrician but I came across this place when searching for answers to my problems.
I have just moved into a house that was re-wired in 2006.
There is a 2 way outside socket that has broken so I am looking to replace it and want to make sure I get the right...
Hi guys about to buy a new vehicle as my estate has just about had it.
Don't really need a van so was thinking of something like Nissan Navara.
My question is from your experiences is a flat bed truck type vehicle less likely to be broken into than a van.
I'm based in rural Suffolk.
Cheers for...
Yesterday morning the alarm in my house went off without reason, despite entering the code we couldn't get it to stop so my housemate (who had an interview later that day), pulled the panel out of the wall.
This stopped the alarm but now we need to reattach it. There are 7 wires, the red, blue...
Hello folks,
First post so apologies if im sounding thick.

Checked bulbs this morning in another light and they are all...
Mid November our solar panel fitters purchased an Elios4you system from Greenologic, with a Power Reducer to heat the water, and fitted this for us with solar panels.
On 13th February the Power Reducer started to take electricity from the grid instead of from the solar panels. We had to switch...
Evening everyone..
I have just undertaken an EICR and there is 6mm bonding to both water and gas at the correct points (within 600mm of entering building), however they must be joined somewhere as there is only one 6mm in the CU. I believe this would be ok if the conductor was unbroken but...
My friends downstairs sockets are tripping the RCD. First thing I did is unplug everything on the circuit, switched on the MCB and the RCD tripped. Tested continuity of L-L N-N CPC-CPC between the legs. CPC has no continuity whatsoever. Could anyone advise me what would be my next step to...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could share their knowledge in removing a module that is surrounded by many others on a roof. There is adequate roof access & mansafe points to harness to but it was more the electrical safety issues relating to isolation & removing a row of panels to access the...
Hi all,
I found a YODALARM YO8 from Clifford & Snell in my shed. But it's a little bit broken because it fell into a chimney (long story). The components are fine but some of them and a couple of wires are disconnected from the circuitboard.
Now I am at sea, and don't know how to connect them...

On my array, an inverter is broken. Nothing on the screen. (Sma)
