We went to do a kitchen rewire in old council flat. Rewireable board, instead of putting in new board to provide RCD protection for my work i decided to run 6mm 'clipped direct' from unused 45a fuse in existing board to submain just below the existing board. This submain has RCD and 32a mcb for...
Hi, When installing metal wall lights that have an open back and the connections are made using connector blocks, does it comply with the regs to fix them to wood panelling?... I guess not because the connections are not in a fire rated enclosure, but I can't see how else they can be installed...

Hello all,
Might be a silly question. But i had to give a quote for a re-wire. The owner wants to keep the original bakelite switches and i can't find any where (bs 7671 or part 'P' doc's) if i can re-wire the switches and re use them. If any one has come across this before the help would be...
Hi guys, just a quick question for you.
There is a house that needs an emergency lighting system installed to make it compliant with HMO regulations. It has a first floor and an attic conversion.

been ask to change a fuseboard. the fuseboard is supplying 5 storage heater circuits each on a 20A breaker. It is on the off peak supply. Plan is to put a 8way 80A 30ma RCD unit. Now is this ok or does the fuseboard have to have a main switch?

can someone tell me if it's still obligatory to install an rcd when adding a socket outlet if there's not one already. I know the 17th says yes but at a seminar i attended in Dec '10 it was said to be imminent that that rule was being changed. for me, it makes no sense when adding a socket on a...
Replaced a load of downlighters today with the the lamp holder cable being connected to the tranny with a choc block but no choc box, ie not double insulated. Am I right in thinking this does not comply or is it ok as theyre low voltage?
SMA are now birthing the 4000TL with settings that apply under G59 so when installing a 3.9 pv system all that needs to shown to the DNO is a certificate because the inverter is deemed to automatically comply with regulations and no further tests are required.
Anybody need a copy of the...
I have recently had some news that some installers my find use full and have a certificate to back this up SMA are now birthing 4000TL with G59 grid guards so hopefully this should be a quick wave in the the face of the DNO as they are now deemed to automatically comply with regulations and no...
