As an electrician, do you feel you have enough independent competition between certification companies when it comes to renewal time?

Just after some thoughts on this. I need to extend a RFC, but the Zs isn't good enough to comply (it doesn't comply currently, but it becomes my problem when I touch it). It's currently about 0.70 ohms - what I need to extend it by will be minimal, maybe taking it up to 0.75 ohms. It's protected...
Hi,
I've recently had a 4KW PV array fitted in March this year however I don't believe it's producing the expected results. Yesterday 29/06/2019 was the hottest day so far with cloudless skies and the system at noon peaked at 2.2KW. I would expect to achieve around my peak which is set at 3.8KW...
Ok, so you have a motley collection of old BS3036 fuse boxes that need to be replaced by a new consumer unit. Existing installation tests all good but the T&E coming out of the wall is spread out and not long enough. What do folks do to extend cables or what’s the recognised best practice to...
Found this beauty today, a 5 inch notch in a 6 inch joist.

Ive been working with an electrician full time for the last 3 months. Before that i was in college for a year.
I feel like im not doing good enough. In 5 hours i only second fixed 4 sockets, 10 spots and 7 smokeys. Ive done more than that in a time frame before but its probably not far from my...
Please someone make this clearer.
I just can’t for the life of me get my head round following the diagram to form a 90 degree bend.
I have now gone through nearly 4 metres of 50mm trunking and still no joy. I just can’t get my head where to cut. If someone can point to where to cut I am sure...
With a couple of gooseberries in charge and nuclear war once again a possibility, I saw this on social media this morning - made me smile and feel perhaps there is hope :)

Hi All,
Advice needed, we had someone round to modify a tumble dryer but first had to do an earth loop test but when plugging in his tester it kept tripping the switch on the CU. We have had occassional nuisance tripping and have had to unplug some things before being able to reset this.

Hello,
