just wondered how everyone else would code this lamp post.
the original installer made a type of swa gland from copper pipe and a BS88 clamp.

its all just a thought exercise now as i have added a proper lamp post cut out with swa 20s glands.
The oven locked itself and the door so I had to turn off the power and can now open it again. Only thing is the oven is no longer heating up at all. I’m seeing an “F53 error” code is flashing up with a symbol of a key. I have looked at the troubleshooting section of the manual and it says...

A pull-cord shower switch is located in Zone 2 of a bathroom, including the ceiling base containing the electrical connections. With a little effort it may be possible to get spray from the shower onto the base.

Hi I am carrying out an EICR. I have a garage mini sub DB supplied via 2 x 2.5mm T&E equivalent 5.0mm protected at main DB by a 32A mcb.
I know this is bad practice to install unless using bigger SWA to achieve required csa's in awkward spaces to terminiate.
My question is what code is this? Im...
