I don't often install single-phase CUs, but I need a couple of metalclad 10-way units for a light commercial situation, which will be populated with all RCBOs. They simply need to be reasonable quality, with not-too-expensive RCBOs, as roomy as possible.
If they can be got from Screwfix, so...

I realise this is a much-discussed topic, I have certainly read a lot on the forums already! However I wish to ask about the subtitles of earthling the outbuilding and the cost/practicality consequences.

Something as basic as a toolbox can save time and money during your working day.
Because I'am a diyer I cover a variety of trades so I need a toolbox to accommodate this. A few years ago I came across the Festool Systainer fitted with a hand tool insert not cheap I grant you but a great bit of...

Has anyone heard or know of the current 2394 and 2395 Inspection and Testing Courses being changed for new ones? The only reason I ask is that someone mentioned it today, but I've not heard nothing and can't find anything on the internet.
Can anyone shed any light on this...
Hi,
After doing a search on the forum I can across a few threads about USB plug sockets and the verdict was that they should be avoided, but these threads were all quite old. So I was wondering what's he current verdict on the USB plugs sockets.

Hello. Been asked to run a 2392 for a local company. Was wondering if anybody had any multiple choice questions they can expect in their exam, and/or some sample questions? It's at Level 2 so hoping it's not so tricky.
Thanks in advance.
My 1st choice is Click mode...What I like about the switches is you can change the modules so for example you can have an intermediate and 2 way switch on the same 2gang plate.

Been avidly watching the Olympics, as usual. Have to say, I am very disappointed with the attendances. Just watched the dressage final and ceremony, hardly a soul in the grandstands, same situation as many of the other disciplines. The Women's marathon was pathetically attended, methinks this...

Hi all,
I have decided to build a brand new multiple choice exam simulator for the 17th edition exam. It will replace the current one on the website, which is not the best and will be available freely to everyone.
I just need your opinions on something please, which version would you prefer...
Got a call from a customer with tripping problems on their CU... Went out to see what the issue was: decrepit teasmaid causing the tripping so easily recified, however seeing the current installation made me wonder what decision making had gone on by the installer.
