New 2015 - It is finally here, after a few years work. This book is an autobiographical account of my personal safari in relation to that mysterious book BS7671. I have been a teacher a long time now and have come to realise that the best way to relay a lesson is to intertwine it with real life...
As BS7671 makes no mention of domestic smoke and heat detectors where on the EIC should they go, aside from the old own circuit/ shared with light circuit debate, a discussion with the BCO has prompted this,

Hi every one just wondering if any one is cheaply selling the bs7671 reg book or the onsite guide? got to work today and my books have been taken (dont know who by and every one saying they not had them) i left the books and took my tools home with me as i didnt think the books would be taken...
Hey need some help with some homework the question is
'Determine for one of the high bay lighting circuits within the workshop, the minimum cross sectional area of live conductors for current carrying capacity and voltage drop.'
So if I have a lighting circuit with 5 high bay 150W luminaires...
Hi all,
I’m having a little trouble understanding whichbooks/reference guides/onsite guides etc to refer to when I’m looking forinformation.
Is there a general rule of thumb for which sources ofmaterial will provide what information?
Obviously some are self-explanatory (wiring regs...
Hi Im in the panel wiring industry at the moment and was asked if I have to put voltage supply label next to isolator on the front of the control panel or will a flash label with danger hazardous voltage do? I cant find anything in the regs.
Thanks in advance
I had a look on Google at this which brought a wiki page up which says... BS 7671 is also used as a national standard by Mauritius, St Lucia,Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Cyprus, and several other countries, which base their wiring...
Hi all, long time no see!
So I have this question that I need to answer for an assignment but there is an issue. I have a copy of the BS7671 Wiring Regs Amendment 3 (which has amendment 1 & 2 removed from the introduction).
Question 1 asks : Which zone no longer applies to a shower room?

I've recently been to look at doing a eicr at a number of hmo buildings they originally were houses about 20 years ago
they were tested 5 years ago by an Nic registered company
ive noticed that most of the consumer units have no rcd protection and a lot of the circuits have shared cables
one of...
Why is it that the osg figures don't line up perfectly with the bs7671 figures for maximum zs? For example
16 amp type b breaker
0.8 x 2.73 = 2.18 in bs7671 yet osg says 2.2
Fair enough if they have just rounded it but they haven't rounded every one. For example 32 amp type c
0.8 x 1.37 =...
Hi, quick question....long answer!!
An RCD has been installed in a single phase circuit as the measured Zs exceeds mcb. Circuit's wired in thermoplastic T&E 2.5/1.5, length of 58m.
Ze is 0.33 ohms on TNCS system.The OCPD is C20 60898.
How do I determine what the residual current rating of an...
Where the hell is the answer to the following question in BS 7671:
The required current carrying capacity of a three-phase circuit conductor Iz is 26A. From the correct table, the minimum size of three single-core thermoplastic covered, heavy duty MICC cables, installed flat on a perforated...
Hi,
I have just purchased a 16th Edition and a 15th Edition BS7671 book both in excellent condition.

No particular reason that I want them other than to look in and to have sitting on the shelf as it would be a nice...
Hi all
I'm unsure if it's appropriate to post this on this board but I wanted to get opinions from people in the industry on a sticking point with an electrician I currently have.
a bit of background - I am letting out my flat and as part of the pre-let safety checks I decided to go ahead and...
