    Dodgy RCD results...

    I've encountered a couple of problematic 30mA RCD's recently, they've both passed the 1/2x, 1x & 5x tests but when I ramp them they've been >45mA, which I guess is my tester's limit on the 30mA's, they were different makes by the way. Replacing them has cured the freaky tripping but I'm not...

    RCBO not tripping on x1 and x5 tests... thoughts please....?

    Just wondering if I'm thinking correctly here.... Newley installed rcbo, but not tripping when tested at x1 and x5 ? Got to be either a dodgy rcbo unit (was a cheaper make - CED) or maybe a dodgy earth connection ? Many thanks, Sy

    Dodgy spotlight connections

    Hello, The spotlights in my bathroom both have dodgy connections. They go off and I have to jiggle the bulbs to get them to come on. So the spotlight fittings are obviously not great.

    Is this a cowboy dodgy practice?

    This is a SWA question. If I have a length of SWA that is not long enough to reach a plastic CU can I jubilee clip around the armour and run an earth braid or cable to the CU. Basically what has happened is the new CU has been dropped down to a position lower than the old one because it is...
